The new Tori Amos album, Abnormally Attracted to Sin, has, of course, hit the Internets, although it’s not scheduled to be released until May 18. This is actually pretty impressive by Tori standards — usually her albums leak at least two weeks prior to their release date. I was surprised it took this long.

I can’t link you to it, of course, but I’m sure if you poke around long enough you can find it. I just finished listening to it for the first time, so I haven’t had a chance to formulate an opinion or choose favorite tracks yet, but it’s very Tori, I’ll tell ya that.

A couple days ago, I posted a link to a leaked Tori Amos track from her new album, Abnormally Attracted to Sin. A second track leaked yesterday but was quickly pulled from YouTube, and I can’t track it down now — does anyone know where I can find “Fire to Your Plain”?

Anyway, today we have yet another — it’s called “500,” and you can listen to it above.

Tori’s performing at SXSW TONIGHT, so I’m hopeful that we’ll have a ton of video leaks from that to watch tomorrow. Woot woot!

Ohhhhhhh it’s finally beginning!!!!

We’ve got the first track leak from the new Tori album, Abnormally Attracted to Sin. The track is called “Welcome to England,” and you can hear it here.

I’m am not a particularly unbiased opinion, but I looooove it. Tori can do NO WRONG in my book. I can’t wait for the full album. I LOVE YOU, TORI!!!

Tori’s playing SXSW on Thursday, and she’s gonna do new material, so hopefully we’ll hear even more songs from the new album then!!

Oh goodie goodie!

Tori Amos has released the cover art and the tracklist (seventeen songs — typical Tori!) for her upcoming album, Abnormally Attracted to Sin. I always get soooo excited for a new Tori album!

Plus, she’ll be performing some of her new songs at SXSW on March 19. I’m sure they’ll be hitting the ‘nets soon after, and I can’t wait to hear them!!!

The tracklist for the new album is after the jump.

Oh, happy day!

It seems like just yesterday I was illegally downloading American Doll Posse, and now I hear there’s going to be YET ANOTHER Tori album that’ll inevitably hit the Internet months before its release date.

Tori’s ditched her old label, Epic, and signed with Universal Republic. She’s planning to release a new studio album — her tenth! — in late spring/early summer 2009.

HOORAY!

New Tori albums make my whole day.

Here’s Tori Amos signing autographs at ComicCon. I totally dig this dress, but the wig? Not so much. However, I’m giving her a pass on this only because it’s ComicCon, and a little exaggeration is acceptable. But let’s not do this again, Tori, dear. I still love you!

Oh, happy day!

In a new interview with Out magazine, Love of My Life Tori Amos reveals that she is “in the trenches” of creating a musical, which will hopefully open at the British National Theater in late 2009 or early 2010.

Looks like I’m going to London, kids!!!

The whole interview is definitely worth a read if you’re a Tori fan. She talks about her father, and her daughter (who’s 7 years old now! Wow!). Here’s what she has to say when the interviewer asks her if she’s explained to her daughter, Natasha, about the gay men who are some of her biggest fans:

She’s very aware that some boys stay with boys forever and marry them. And some girls stay with girls and marry them. And it’s the way it is. But the thing about Tash is that she and Granddaddy Eddie see religion very, very differently. She believes that God from the Bible is not Jesus’ father. She feels that God is — I’ll use the word “underachiever.“ She says things like “He likes war. He’s not for woman’s rights.” So in her mind God of the Bible is more like George W. Bush. That’s how she sees it. And that — to her — is not Jesus’ father. And this is where their relationship goes off into different tangents. Tash’s religion would be considered something that is not Western.

Oh, how I love me some Tori!
