The video for this song is also now online.<\/a> From the contents of the video, the song should be called “Welcome to London.” Of course, that was perfectly all right with me. This video pretty much plays out like my last trip to the Big Smoke, complete with an extended obsession with the Prince Albert Memorial and a twirl on the London Eye. True, I wasn’t wearing a sparkly American flag unitard, but that’s just because I try to blend in and not be obtuse about my American-ness. Maybe next time, though. <\/p>\nI’m not sure whether or not I like the new Tori song. It’s already an improvement over American Doll Posse<\/em>, which fell almost as flat with me as Boys for Pele<\/em> and Strange Little Girls<\/em> did. As much as I love Tori’s desire to extend her reach and experiment with musical interpretations and approaches, those albums don’t really get much play on my iPod. This song sounds more like a return to Scarlet’s Walk<\/em> or even as far back as Under the Pink<\/em>. <\/p>\nI’ve heard a few other songs off the new album and they sound more reminiscent of Choirgirl<\/em>, so it seems as though this will be another eclectic offering. Regardless, I’m sure it will be added to my Tori playlist when it does finally hit the stores. And bring on the next tour!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Yes, dear ones, Loba is still an Anglophile.
