i've been a fan since roughly 1994.  i got into tori amos
via the progressive metal scene, oddly enough.  my first
encounter was dream theater doing a cover of "winter" on
a bootleg of theirs.  plus a lot of DT fans always talked
about her on the mailing list... i bought the "crucify"
single, then got LE and UtP from BMG... the rest came not
too far afterwards.

and, yeah, people who like both Tori and Otr don't surprise
me.  the artists aren't similar, but they are similar.  just
differently similar.  or something.

yeah, it's kinda hard-to-find... as well as some of the other
LE/UtP singles (like the PGY & PTM double-single sets).  i
had been looking for "China" for about 4 years, and finding 
it for $5 was simply amazing.

hehehe... yeah, i had that double single set a bit ago, and i
dubbed that live song onto a CDR before i unloaded it.  ha, i
was making a CDR for a trade, and i listened to it today... 
cool.
