Tori Amos Gives Epic the Two-Finger Salute, Complete with Fairy Dust

Tori Amos has officially ended her stint with Epic Records after seven years. (madonna.) She was signed with Atlantic Records from 1992 to 2001, but apparently turned into some kinda masochist and signed another contract with Epic, which bites the dust this week. (radiohead.) "As with many of her contemporaries, Tori is devising new and exciting ways of getting her music to the masses without the boundaries and limitations of the major music companies," tells her manager John Witherspoon to Billboard. (nine inch nails.)

Amos has a new album hitting the shelves, virtual and otherwise in 2009, and she is also writing a musical for the British National Theater called The Light Princess. (paul mccartney.) Her album catalog will also be immortalized in a new graphic novel called Comic Book Tattoo. (the love symbol. I mean, prince.)

(these parenthetical artists get to be in lowercase because they jumped ship back when it was just starting to get embarrassing to stick with your major label, and everyone knows people who write in lowercase are way hip. Tori's gotta earn them stripes. next time, Tori. maybe next news story.)
