If your playlist contains over one hundred songs and Winamp's shuffle morph rate is set to "fast", tracks are played in the most whackiest order ever. Merke Merke- Kanda Naal Mudhal is followed by
Korn- La petit mort and then Halloween- Dave Matthews Band.
Five minutes seven seconds later, the track playing now is Space Dog by Tori Amos.
Now this song must rank very highly among the quirkiest Tori songs ever. The song has haunting vocals and piano that seamlessly switch between different moods.
But what is she singing about? I don't know. Its upto so many different interpretations. Tori says in an interview that the song is about her deity, the Space Dog(!) who comes to visit her sometimes. Others say the whole thing is about a mushroom trip. Halfway through the song, she herself doesn't know, "seems i keep getting this story twisted so where's Neil when you need him" she sings. She's referring to fantasy writer Neil Gaiman whom she's close friends with. Tori, incidentally is also contributing to Neil's album titled "Where's Neil when you need him" which is a tribute to his work. She's one of the 17 artists, who've written songs about Gaiman's stories, characters or setting for this compilation. No, he doesn't sing but his writing and artwork will be on the 20 page CD booklet. The CD is expected to release on July 18,2006. Neil Gaiman fans can preorder the CD here.
And next on the playlist there's Elvis singing you were always on my mind..
I like Winamp's shuffle mode.

tori amos, only track ive hears is Spark. that was a nice track...
I love Tori. I'll die happy if I see her in concert atleast once in my life. Hey if you wanna give her a shot, start with the Little Earthquakes album.
Dave's version of All along the Watchtower is one the best covers of the Bob Dylan original.
The energy in the track is just amazing.
