The Savage Gardener #107

> Hello hello! I hope everyone had a great Christmas.
> Well, those who celebrate
> it, anyway! I had a Savage Christmas - I got the
> 2000 calendar (I can't bring
> myself to write on it though!) and the "Story So
> Far" video which was
> EXCELLENT. The interview is as "in depth" as the
> Fanzine claims, and the
> remix video of "To the Moon and Back" was cool. With
> "Affirmation" still so
> new, it was nice to go back and remember the
> original songs! Anyway, the SGer
> is out a day early as you know because Sarah (for
> new subscribers, she does
> the SGer's website and is a very dear friend - she
> lives in Savage Garden's
> hometown in Australia) arrived today. This was the
> first time we've actually
> met in person and it was awesome! We're going to
> have a great time
> together...until I have to go back to school! Ugh!

> **Made a mistake! "Affirmation" went platinum

> **There's an article in the new Teen People (I
> believe the January/February
> issue) about Darren and Kirsten Dunst. Speaking of
> Kirsten, who I've loved
> since she was in "Little Women" 5 years ago, was
> anyone else a little
> surprised that she was chosen as Darren's quote
> unquote "love interest"? I
> mean, the girl's 17...my age! He's 27...big age
> difference. What did you call
> it, Tammy? Jailbait? Hehe...just a thought. Thanks
> to
> [email protected] for the info about the
> mag, by the way!
>
> **No Billboard stats for this week as Billboard is
> updated on Thursdays!
>
> **Just to restate, "Truly Madly Deeply" is the #47
> song of the decade
> according to the Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 Chart.
> Natalie Imbruglia's "Torn"
> made #1, although it SHOULD have been "Truly"
> because that song beat out
> "Torn" in '98's most airplay! In fact, I can't
> believe "Truly" was so far
> down the chart because of how huge it was and the
> zillion records it broke!
> Who organized this chart, anyway?!
>
> **Don't forget! The "I Knew I Loved You" single goes
> on sale this Tuesday,
> Jan. 4th in the US. The bonus track is the "Mini-Me
> Remix". Gotta hear that!
