I finally heard "Crash and Burn" on the radio (actually, twice)! My
friend
was telling me how she always hears it so I went home, turned the radio
on,
and not 10 minutes later it played. Then I heard it a bit later. Totally
awesome to hear it on the radio and that it's being played a lot. For
those
who have yet to see the BEAUTIFUL video for the song, apparently it's
being
played Monday the 17th on MTV (an email further down lists the 2 shows
it's
likely to be on). Anyway, let's get on with the news and stuff!

Hey Lauren,
I have a thought about what the next SG single might be. On the
Affirmation
CD in Canada, their is a sticker on the plastic wrap around the cd.
It says
"Featuring:
I Knew I Loved You, Crash and Burn, and The Best Thing" So I'm
thinking The
Best Thing will be the next single. We'll have to wait and see!

Savage Garden fans it's time to make yourselves heard!
MTV-USA will be premiering the "Crash And Burn" Video on Monday, April
17. We
don't think it will be on TRL, most likely it will be played during
the
Spankin New Music or the Hot Zone. They have agreed to play it on a
trial
basis. If they get good feedback they will keep playing the video,
if they
don't, it will be pulled. The Savage Garden fans have a lot of work
to do if
we want to help our guys. It's VERY IMPORTANT that we do everything
we can to
flood MTV especially with emails telling them how much we want to see
this
video on MTV. Please send lots of requests to both MTV and VH1 over
the next
week to get demand up for it. VH1 is owned by MTV and they are not
playing
the video enough so we want to include both stations in this drive.
From now
until the video premieres on MTV, send requests for the video and tell
them
how much you love the song and Savage Garden. As soon as it plays,
they will
be looking for feedback telling them what you liked about the video.
Talk
about specific parts, the actors, Darren and Daniel, the messages,
the
images, etc. They want to see that you are actually watching this video
and
want to see more of it and why. Don’t forget to fill out
that TRL
voting form once a day too. It’s "make it or break it" time
for CAB and
really for future Savage Garden videos on MTV so lets make sure they
realize
our guys have a big enough following to keep as an MTV artist. Please
make
sure you kept these messages very positive and upbeat; meaning suck
up to
them big time! Even if you don't like MTV, the guys really want this,
so
please help them.
Here are the email addresses and feedback forms to VH1 and MTV:
VH1: [email protected]
VH1 Message Boards-Savage Garden: http://messageboards.vh1.com/vh1
MTV: [email protected]
MTV Feedback Form: http://www.mtv.com/mtv/feed/feedmusic2.html
MTV-TRL (fill in "other"): http://mtv.com/mtv/tubescan/trl99_new/pickaday.tin
Don't forget, "Crash And Burn" has been released to radio airplay all
over
the world, so please send lots of requests to your local stations asking
them
to play it! CAB has a lot of competition from really popular artists
that
have all released new singles at the same time. It’s going
to be extra
hard for CAB to compete for airtime. We did a great job with the airplay
of
"I Knew I Loved You" and I know we can do the same for CAB. Please
support
the guys and make CAB hit the radio charts with the same success as
IKILY did!

This is for any kind of merchandise for Savage Garden that you're looking

**Starting with issue #126, the Savage Gardener will be completely revamped
for those AOLers who are able to see pics in emails. For those who
can't (or
are non-AOL based people) I'm trying to figure out a way to publish
it on the
web so you can see it too, but as AOL has a hideously pathetic website
builder in which you can't do ANYTHING except what they put as a format,
I
have to search around. If you know you cannot receive pics in emails,
please
let me know so I can build a new address book and will not run into
problems
when I try to send it out. If I try to send it out and have problems
with
those who can't receive pics, I'll move their addresses into the other
book
(the one that will receive the regular SGer), but as my patience level
is
zero I may just get frustrated and not even bother and just delete
you.
That's it for this week's issue. Next week's will be sent out on Friday
as
I'll be in San Diego from Wednesday to Friday, so it'll be a day late.
And
since I obviously won't be home, keep in mind I won't be around to
answer
questions and such. Sprrrrrring break is here! Woo hoo! In the meantime,
catch ya next week!
Peace, love, and Savage Garden!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Darren Hayes and/or Daniel Jones. I wish I
did, but
since slavery isn't legal in the U.S. anymore, I'm outta luck. I make
no
money for the "publication" of this newsletter, so if you're a nasty
big
company like that dumb Hit Records, don't waste your time suing me
(especially since you're probably trying to get a chunk of Savage's
earnings,
anyway). My family gets a big laugh everytime my bank statement
arrives.
Besides, my life savings consist of $2.54. The program you have just
watched
contains real-life stories. The names have been changed to protect
the
innocent. Is that your final answer?
