 has anyone heard Charlotte Martin's new album? overall i like it a lot. certain covers aren't new (such as Cloudbusting and Just Like Heaven who were available on the official site a looon time ago). my favs are Obstacle 1, Bizarre Love Triangle, Constant Craving, Urge For Going. i cannot stand Angel and Cherry-Coloured Funk however, uhm. too bad she hasn't included a Tori song  check www.charlottemartin.com or iTunes for more soundclips Tracklisting:Angel (Massive Attack) Obstacle 1 (Interpol) Constant Craving (k.d. lang) Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town (Pearl Jam) Chocolate (Snow Patrol) Bizarre Love Triangle (New Order) Cherry-Coloured Funk (Cocteau Twins) I Am Stretched Out On Your Grave (Sinéad O'Connor) Urge For Going (Joni Mitchell) Just Like Heaven (The Cure) Song To The Siren (Tim Buckley) iTunes bonus tracks: Cloudbusting (Kate Bush) Mission to the Moon (Terami Hirsch) |

Love her and love it!!
Hey, I have a question: Has she ever been asked about the similarities between her and Tori? Or commented on it? (Sorry if this is a stupid question...)

Hey, I have a question: Has she ever been asked about the similarities between her and Tori? Or commented on it? (Sorry if this is a stupid question...) yes she's been asked about it a lot - here's a couple of quotes: I don't think [the comparisons are] annoying at all. I'm a huge fan. What better person to be compared to? It's not like they're comparing me to. She pauses and playfully says, I could say something really nasty right now but I'm not going to. Regarding Tori Amos, she adds, She is a big inspiration and I think she is incredible. about if she founds the comparaisons annoying or flattering: Depends on the day, in all honesty. I am a huge fan, but that's just pretty much an indication that it's sort of a man's world still in the music business, and there's not enough women playing music. See, if I played harps, we would not be having this conversation right now. I think I know how I'm different, I know how I am influenced, and those people that care to actually listen to those differences and get into the music--those are the people I'll connect with, you know?she also said she met tori a few years back and that it was a great experience... |

Her new music vid for Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town is positively beautiful. i really agree, it definitely made me tear up when thinking about the background story of why she decided to finally make a covers album and so on. the back cover of the album makes my heart sink sometimes too. |

I guess since she put it on her facebook it's now safe to announce that she's pregnaaaaant!  And yes, she loves Tori. Tear in your Hand is her favorite song. |

Oh, and Obstacle 1 is one of my favorite songs (well, covers, I guess) of 2007.

was just curious about those cd's caus i totally missed them -- read the 4th will be available soon (only 100 copies). i discovered her during the 'one girl army' area (a fellow tori fan told me to listen caus it sounded "very choirgirl"), but i only got hooked w/th the In Parentheses ep... too bad i haven't seen her live yet |
