I haven't heard either of her most recent albums, Scarlet's Walk (2002) or The Beekeeper (2005)
You're probably better for it, sadly enough. I liked Scarlet's Walk okay, but I get depressed when I think about how boring The Beekeeper is. There's a song on the album called "Sleeps with the Butterflies" or something, but it's an apt title because every song on the album seems devoted to being pretty and lightweight. She's gone from Under the Pink to just pink, I'm afraid. My friend read me a quote from her in a magazine recently that was something like, "I realised I had to change the kind of music I was making because I didn't want my daughter to think I was weird." It was close to the saddest thing I'd ever heard.
I don't know all their originals; some don't work for me no matter what.
When I got Strange Little Girls, I downloaded all the original versions. Which haven't you heard? I could send them to you. I have all except the original rough version of "New Age"--I have only the Velvet Underground's final version (Tori actually covered an earlier version of the song with unfinished lyrics).
