I just thought this was pretty interesting!

This is a Tori question which I hope you don't mind terribly. With the release of her latest CD, Epic set up a companion website accessible via the enhanced CD. The website, among other things, promised chances to hear the B-sides for this album. Well... after many technical problems and terrible trouble with the website, I managed to hear the first B-side: Tombigbee. This is an absolutely gorgeous song. Should I have ever needed it, this song reaffirms my love and appreciation of Tori.
In any case, all this struggle to hear this one beautiful song brings me to my question:
when you get to hear Tori's songs before we do (for example, receiving a copy of the unfinished album), do you get to hear the B-sides as well? Or must you go along deprived with the rest of us?
Curious,
Deborah
It depends on where I am when.
With "Scarlet's Walk" I got to hear about 21 songs, in the passenger seat of Tori's SUV in Florida, parked in her garden. (She didn't have a CD player in the house, and neither of us thought to put the CDs in the DVD player because we weren't thinking.) (Although actually it was a really appropriate sort of way to hear the songs, in the front seat of a car.) So I heard the songs that were going to be on the album, and also Tombigbee and Mountain and so on. But at that point she hadn't quite made up her mind which tracks were going to Scarlet's Web and which would be on the CD, so I heard them all.
With "Strange Little Girls" I heard the four songs that didn't make it onto the CD when I was in Cornwall. "After All" and "Only Women Bleed" wound up on Bs. "Hoover Factory", which would have been Rattlesnake's B-side, is really sweet, although it never got heard, and the other one is amazing. (I'm not going to name it, as she never has, to the best of my knowledge.)
OTOH there are lots of Bs I only hear when she sends me singles, and some fall through the cracks, and I only find out about them when she plays them live and I ask "What was that song?" afterwards, and she says "Oh, it was a B side".
