There are several new publications and releases by Tori Amos, Neil Gaiman and Björk that I have to share which are most exciting!

On January 18, 2005, a new biography/autobiography titled TORI AMOS: PIECE BY PIECE is to release, written by Tori Amos and Ann Powers. “In Tori Amos: Piece by Piece, the singer herself takes readers beyond the mere facts, explaining the specifics of her creative process—how her songs go from ideas and melodies to recordings and passionately performed concert pieces. Written with acclaimed music journalist Ann Powers, Tori Amos: Piece by Piece is a firsthand account of the most intricate and intimate details of Amos’s life as both a private individual and a very public performing musician. In passionate and informative prose, Amos explains how her songs come to her and how she records and then performs them for audiences everywhere, all the while connecting with listeners all over the world and maintaining her own family life (which includes raising a young daughter). But it is also about how Amos uses her music as a medium to express her unique and fascinating personal history; in short, we see the pieces that make up—as Amos puts it—’the woman we call Tori’. With photos taken especially for this book by the acclaimed photographer Loren Haynes, Tori Amos: Piece by Piece is a rare treat for both fans and non-fans alike, an inside look at what it’s really like being one of the figureheads of contemporary female music.” (randomhouse.com). You can PRE-ORDER this book now at Amazon.com.

On August 17, 2004, The Neil Gaiman Audio Collection CD will release, which is “the new CD coming from Harper Collins — it contains The Day I Swapped My Dad For Two Goldfish, The Wolves in the Walls, Cinnamon and Crazy Hair. And my daughter Maddy is going to interview me for it as well, which should be fun.” (neilgaiman.com) You can PRE-ORDER this CD now at Amazon.com.

On August 23, 2004, Neil Gaiman’s Creatures of the Night will release, which is “a brand new hardcover collection, featuring two magical and disturbing stories lushly adapted to comics by veteran painter Michael Zulli (The Last Temptation). Newly rewritten by Gaiman for this graphic novel, these two ominous stories from the author’s award-winning prose, Smoke and Mirrors: Short Fictions and Illusions, feature animals and people not being quite what they seem. In The Price, a black cat like a small panther arrives at a country home and is soon beset by mysterious and vicious wounds. What is he fighting every night that could do this, and why does he persist? The Daughter of Owls recounts an eerie old tale of a foundling girl who was left—with an owl pellet—as a newborn on the steps of the Dymton Church. She was soon cloistered away in a local convent, but by her fourteenth year word of her beauty had spread—and those who would prey upon her faced unforeseen consequences.” (fantasticfiction.co.uk) You can PRE-ORDER this book now at Amazon.com.

A new collectors item, The Sandman 2005 Calendar: Endless Nights, is currently available containing gorgeous artwork featuring The Sandman’s characters, The Endless. You can ORDER this calendar now at Amazon.com

And finally, for those of you who are also Björk fans, a new album will be released on August 30, 2004 titled Medúlla. “I just got really bored with instruments. I started doing everything with my voice. Then suddenly I didn’t want to work with any musicians, which is a bit weird. I only wanted to work with vocalists. She was inspired, she says, by paganism, and the rather esoteric idea of returning to a universe that is entirely human — without tools or religion or nationalities. I wanted the record to be like muscle, blood, flesh, she says, pumping her fist. We could be in a cave somewhere and one person would start singing, and another person would sing a beat and then the next person sing a melody, and you could just kind of be really happy in your cave. It’s quite rootsy.” (W magazine; bjork.com) You can PRE-ORDER this CD now at Amazon.com.
