Savage Garden Newsletter #18

Hola! (In case you didn't know, that's hello in Spanish hehe)  How is everyone
doing??  Sorry this is a day late, but for some reason I just totally forgot
about it yesterday hehe.  SOOORRRYYYY!!!  Well, let's get on with the letter!!

**Last week's survey was if you were Darren or Daniel's wife or girlfriend,
would you like it?  I got a reasonable amount of responses, and some were
pretty interesting...
============================================================
If I were Darrens wife I would not like because they would be on the road to
much and because thye might pay more attention to their music instead to me!!
But  I think being a girlfriend to them would be different because I think
they would want to spend time w/ a girlfriend.

 Would I like it?  Lets put aside the fact I've never met the two, and the
fact that I could be an obsessive fan.  (oh nooo there goes my case....)  If
they are as nice/wacky/and well practically perfect as they seem, then yeah i
wouldn't mind it.  Yes they would be gone a lot.  And I would miss him (daniel
*siiiiiiigh*  hehehe), but I still think it would be worth it.   I mean think
about it.  Now of course I'm only going on how the appear to be, not who they
probably are.  which should kill it right there, but I'll still say yeah I
would go for it.  thats just me and my isanity.  ;)

I can't give this question a definite yes; I'd have to get to know Daniel or
Darren personally first.  If one of them was definitely my type, however, I
would say yes.  Although I wouldn't exactly enjoy all that travelling, it
would be worth it if I really liked them, and I'd get to hear them all the
time!  Not only that, I'm kind of a multi-instrumentalist myself, so maybe,
just maybe, they'd have room for another band member.  ;-)

i would not like to be darren's wife because u would hardly see them. they
would always be on the road and that would suck and u would never see his
beautiful face!!!! i thought of this idea thank u because i wouldn't like to
be his wife i mean colby is lucky but in some ways she isn't

Well, that's what everyone thought about that :-) And lets see... in my
opinion, I think I would rather be one of their girlfriends, not married to
them.  Cuz then I wouldnt be quite so committed :-)

**The survey for this week, is if you could be in the Savage Garden band (not
singing, but the actual band...) would you like it? And if so, which
instrument(s) would you play?

**On the charts this week, Universe is at number 26.  Internationally, To The
Moon & Back is selling well and gaining airplay in many countries.  It has
acheived top 10 status in many countries.  Truly Madly Deeply is soon due for
release in the US!!!!  When that happens, I will definately tell everyone!

**The featured webpage this week is...

Michelle's Savage Garden Site
http://members.aol.com/DarrenGrl/savage.html

I really like this site one, because it is very easy to read, and two, because
there is A LOT of good and useful info.  You can find lyrics, a great
biography, lots of pictures, GREAT audio/video stuff, and over 60 other Savage
Garden links.  It's really an awesome site!! Check it out!!

**Tomorrow, November 10, the album should be re-released in Australia with a
bonus CD containing remixes of songs on the album.  This should be a very good
purchase for fans looking to increase their collection.  The album is rumored
to being called "The Future Of Earthly Delites".  Now, if only American fans
could buy it without so much shipping/handling!!  Hehe!

**There were a couple comments this week...
============================================================
About the operator in "Santa Monica"... The operator is saying, "Thanks you
for calling Disneyland."

============================================================
(This was the actual review given by Tower Records...)

"Big, expansive Euro-pop, Australian style. Stylistically, this duo is coming
straight out of the '80s with a vengeance. Savage Garden look to Duran Duran
and Big Country for influences. Guitars are used for texture, not as
instruments of angst or anger. But the Prince-style strings and piano at the
end of "To the Moon and Back" show a willingness to experiment within the
somewhat narrow confines of their chosen sound.  The feel is electronic, but
not inhuman. "I Want You" sounds a lot like Roxette, with its rapid-fire, hip-
hoppy vocal affectations, but then "Truly Madly Deeply" comes along, a ballad
replete with open-chord guitar sweeps and gospel-inflected keyboards. There's
even a nice classical guitar solo at at the end to round things out. If you
like modern dance music, but with a semblance of melody and some pleasant
instrumental concepts, you just might want to enter this conventionally
pretty, not-so-Savage Garden."

**Alrighty, I guess I don't really have anything else to say here... Remember,
I can ALWAYS use comments and suggestions<-- especially suggestions!!!!

Well, have a great week!!

Savagely yours,
