Just read this at Undented.
“Big Wheel”: “‘Big.’ One of my favorite words, along with ‘Little.’ Now if I’m a guy, I’m probably going to prefer the word ‘Big’ when associated with my abilities, rather than my other favorite word. As a woman, I don’t mind at all if the whole world thinks that I have a Big Aspiration to straddle that piano stool every night for over 100 shows by Christmas. I don’t mind that at all.”
“Bouncing Off Clouds”: “Over half of relationships that end in a verbal war could at least be on speaking terms again if at least one of the combatants realized what verbal artillery to use and what verbal artillery not to use — if you ever expect to have a drink with this person again, much less anything else. This is sung by Clyde.”
“Teenage Hustling”: “I highly recommend singing this at the top of your lungs, preferably in rubber tights. For those gals who don’t move so well in very high heels, the advantage of rubber is obvious if you take a tumble — stains are unobservable to the naked eye and if you do fall, you may be lucky enough to bounce. This is sung by Pip.”

Nice. I liked what she said about Teenage Hustling: "I highly recommend singing this at the top of your lungs." Heheh...

When I first came across this article, I didn't know that it was coming from Tori herself. It certainly puts things into perspective now having another go at reading it.

i knew Teenage Hustling was Pip's. any trained, PJ Harvey-ed ear would be able to recognize it.

Y'know, I can't get into the whole PJ comparisons to Pip. I see them everywhere. Pip to me seems too American to remind me of PJ. But oh well. I figured she was the Teenage Hustling girl. And same with Tori for Big Wheel. I was listening to the clips while I was walking at 6am the other day... it's good coz it gave me lots to think about other than "ooh my legs hurt" So I certainly did a lot of analysing.

I don't think they are comparable either. I think these characters are strictly Tori's own creations. And I also knew that Pip sung Teenage Hustling. I seriously cannot wait to hear the rest of the album! xo

Yeah, I had a feeling Pip would be the rocker and would sing "Teenage Hustling" too. That was interesting reading those thoughts. I love when Tori tells us what the songs are about. The little clues that help us interpret and decipher.
