Breaking news for girls who love horses...

... Tori Amos has a new record coming out! Though I assumed the title would be, The Fairy She-Goddess Breathes on the City of Static Dreams and All the Men Die in a Volcano, it appears to be titled Night of Hunters. As somebody who went though a serious love-affair with Ms. Amos during the Under the Pink/Boys For Pele era, I take a special pride in ignoring any and all of her musical output over the last decade. But since the new record is currently being featured on NPR's First Listen, I thought I would go ahead and give it a go. For kicks. For old time sake. And then I heard the first line of the first song: "That is not my blood on the bedroom floor..." Ok, no. You know what? I'm done. Somebody give Tori a mop and tell her to clean up that mess...

If you're braver, or more dumb or more patient than I am, feel free to check it out yourself. You can also read what Ann Powers has to say about the record. Which, I'm fairly certain, is actually more pretentious than the record itself.

This is great. The full moment of being healed.
