Love ravelry. A part of me wants to tell you that you should be on it more, because it's such a great resource. On the other hand, I spend so much time on it. I recently told a newer acquaintance that I'm not on Facebook and she said something like "what do you do with yourself, then?" The answer: Ravelry.
"The Light Princess" is actually a musical that Tori helped write and composed in collaboration with Samuel Adamson, but except for the last couple of bonus tracks, Tori doesn't sing or play on it. I got the album for Christmas last year, but I still haven't listened to it yet. So I'm not sure how exemplary it is of her work.
I like dragons, too! And Imagine Dragons! I think they have a song on the "Hunger Games: Catching Fire" soundtrack. So did Sia and The Lumineers and I think Lorde produced "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1" soundtrack, so four of the songs are hers.
I enjoy classical, too. Bach's my favourite, though I do like Beethoven and Tchaikovsky's ballets as well. I enjoy a little Elvis here and there, too. The name Lawrence Welk sounds familiar, but I'm not sure what he's done. I just looked him up and I see that he plays accordion, which is probably why I'm not really familiar with him - my dad was forced to play the accordion before he got his first guitar, so I haven't heard a whole lot of accordion-based music. It's kind of a family joke. Still, I'm fairly certain I've heard other versions of the songs he does by Johnny Cash or other folk artists.
My mom really likes the Moody Blues, too! I enjoy them as well, but like you, I know of the band and I've heard some of their stuff, I'm just not sure which songs are theirs and vice-versa. It's so funny you mentioned that, actually, because I was out last night and few of us were trying to remember the name of a Moody Blues song that wasn't "Nights in White Satin!" Which, by the way, Tori Amos has covered in concert!
Everyone's brains work in different ways. I just tent to be a little obsessive when it comes to what I really love. Of course it's not really required of us to know our favourite bands and songs. But my folks and I are the type of people who will ask who the artist is when we hear a song we like but don't recognize. And no, I don't always remember, either!
Yeah, I saw on your ravelry profile that you're in almost 200 groups?! Thats a lot! Oh, I also use bobby pins as stitch markers; they're just so convenient. :) Well, maybe I'll upload some photos soon; I've been meaning to take pics of my most recent project, and actually *have* photos of older stuff, I just kept forgetting to upload them. Sometimes I'm not very organized. :P
Hm. I'll see what I can find on youtube.
As far as classical, my favorites where Strauss Jr., Mozart, and Bach. Tchaikovsky was my mom's favorite, and I liked him too, but not as much as she did. I always found Beethoven too serious for my tastes. I usually like more light-hearted stuff.
Yeah, I sometimes just add groups based on things I just made so I can share my project with those groups. Like when I made a couple pairs of baby booties as a commission, I joined a bunch of groups geared toward making baby items. I'm really only active on the message boards of a few of them. I'll keep an eye out for your items on ravelry!
Now see, me, I like Beethoven because he's so dramatic!
