The Savage Gardener #44
Hallo out there in Savage Land! Hope all is well with each of you.
Anyhoo,
I've been getting emails about whether or not I've gotten any replies
about
the birthday wishes and I'd just like to say that if I do get a reply,
it will
most likely take a while. But if I do get anything, I'll let you all
know
ASAP!!

**I have news regarding the release of BMSM in the U.S. It's apparently
been
put on hold because of the re-release of TTMAB. It looks like TTMAB
is going
to come first. BMSM has been released in Canada, however, so that's
why you
Canadian fans do have it! I'll let you know when BMSM will be released
indefinitely in the U.S.!
**This week's Billboard stats: Truly is still at #7 on the Billboard
Hot 100
while the album has dropped back to #12, its first week out of the
Top 10 in
almost 4 months. Oh well, we're still very proud of their success!
**There's a possibility of a Future of Earthly Delites Tour video making
its
way to store shelves!! More info if this is definite!!
**Reportedly, there will be no more singles released in Australia until
the
new album comes out in early '99. Darren said he thinks Australia is
sick of
them and they should share themselves with the rest of the year. For
Aussie
fans, have no fear! Think of them as a television show on repeat
season...you'll be hearing old songs on the radio, but get ready for
them to
be back soon enough!
**Some news from Sarah about the APRA awards:
Waking up just before my alarm this morning, I rolled over and flicked
on
the radio which was beckoning *L*. According to B105's 7am news,
Savage
Garden won Songwriters of the Year (yay) and IWY won most played overseas
song. I can't believe neither Truly nor Moon got song of the
year (out of
interest 'Only When I'm Sleeping' by Leonardo's Bride won song of the
year) -
I'd better not start raving about this *L*, but, as nice as it would
have been
for a repeat of the ARIAs, I'd say the songwriting award would mean
more
tothem 'cause that's where their brains and a vast majority of their
talent
come from - to give us that originality and excellence that we're now
addicted
to :)
Thanks, Sarah! I, too, would have liked to see a repeat of the ARIAs,
but I'm
glad they got Songwriters of the Year!! That's an extraordinary win!!!
Congratulations, Darren and Daniel!!
**Truly has dropped back to #3 on the Rick Dees Weekly Top 40. It's
been in
the top 5 for quite a few months now and it keeps going!
**A fun little ditty just for your own entertainment: Norman Mailer
(mentioned
in Santa Monica and also subject of a past trivia question) is writing
a TV
movie on the O.J. Simpson trial. Just thought this was a nice little
piece of
info for ya!
**Tonight was the last episode of Seinfeld, Darren and Daniel's favorite
TV
show. They're most likely delayed in Australia, so they probably won't
see it
for a couple more months!

Hey Lauren!
I noticed in your newsletter you said that the trip to Australia is
this
summer. Actually, it's next summer ('99). I just thought
I'd correct you on
that. But anyway, keep up the great work and Happy Birthday to
Daz!!!.....AGAIN!!!!!

Thanks for the correction! ~Lauren :o)

******************
YOU'LL never believe this!
You all know how mad I am because the three possable dates I can go
to my
FIRST Savage Garden concert I will be at camp, and how everyone makes
fun of
me because I am so obsessed...
Well it just so happenes, that the radio station here Star 101.1 was
having a
birthday bash concert and I went. One of the DJ's heard me almost crying
to
one of my friends about the concert and he said "you know last year
we
interviewed them on out station..." I was like "NO WAY!" hes like "yeah
I
could get you a copy of the tape if you want, no big deal" I was like
"MY
HERO!!" hehe
Anyways, hes really sweet and now every time they say something on
the radio
about the Savage Garden concerts coming up they mention how their #1
fan in
Fresno cant go, and I've been sent stuff by other Savage Fans and promises
to
get me pictures etc if they go to the concerts!
IS THAT NOT SO SWEET?
Anyways! I just wanted to shair the story of how one DJ made me missing
the
concerts ALMOST ok, well less painful!
SavGarGrL
As I said in my email to you, that's just wonderful! You'll get a lovely
taste
of what it was like. ~Lauren :o)
