The Savage Gardener #48

Well, I got my Delites tickets!! I'm in row M left, which are really good
seats and I'm so excited!! If you're going to the LA show at the Greek
Theatre, come up and say hello! Trust me...you'll be able to pick me out for
sure!!! <insert evil grin here> Oh yeah, this Monday (June 15) is a very
special day in the life of yours truly. It's my one year anniversary of being
a Savage Gardener! That's an amazing feat cuz I lose interest so fast in
things like that! But anyway, I'm thinking of throwing a party for myself with
streamers and party hats and cake and...well, maybe I'll just send myself a
card!

In 16 days, America will begin to listen...

**Billboard stats! Truly's backed down to #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and the
album has gone back to the #15 position on the Billboard Hot 200. Still
charting great!!

**It's baaaaaaack!!! To the Moon and Back has officially been re-released in
the US, so listen for it! I heard it tonight on the radio and nearly had a
heart attack since it was my first time hearing it on the radio (anyone else
get such a great feeling when they're on the radio?). Anyhoo, listen for TTMAB
and keep requesting it so it gets tons of airplay and does what Darren and
Daniel and the rest of us hope - that it'll catch more attention this time
around! And I truly madly deeply think it will!

Lauren, i just had to tell you that i just visited the Savage Gardener
site, and i saw all the new stuff, including the Rolling Stone thing.
the pictures were adorable. and that article--it made me cry, just like it
said it would. i thought of how unbelievably honest Daniel and Darren are with
themselves and each other, and it is really touching. i wasnt crying out of
sadness, but out of happiness for them and their dreams coming true. it was
definitely amazing about Darren meeting Bono. Sarah is completely right about
that being the perfect meeting with your idol. thank you so much for having
that on the site. it really made my day to see that they are really the
perfect duo, musically, and emotionally.

All I'm going to say here is I agree 100%. ~Lauren :o)

Lauren Jones.  I know there are a lot out there, but I thought it was pretty
cool.  Just thought I'd tell ya that!

LOL, that's really cool! As I said in my email, maybe it's an omen! If so, I
promise to name our first girl after you since you told me about it in the
first place! ~Lauren :oD

**Ok, everyone. It's time to use our Savage pride like we've never used it
before! While pondering how Columbia could use such a stupid reason as the
religious content of Mine to not release it, my little brain thought up a nice
plan. What if we get a petition going and send it to Columbia? I have their
addy and I'll send it via snail mail with all the names of the people who
think their reason is ridiculous. And since we only have about 300 members,
I'd like your help in advertising on your website, your friend's website, and
every other SG website you can find to get as many names on this petition as
we can. And tell them the Savage Gardener sent ya! In the least, we just want
Columbia to consider how stupid it is of them to ban Mine. The petition will
start circulating immediately, so PLEASE be sure to tell every SG fan you know
about this. This is open to fans world-wide, so please don't think you have to
be an American to join in! All you do is send your first and last name along
with your location (just so it looks more formal; don't worry, I won't come
and look you up and hunt you down to kill ya!). Also, if you have friends that
are SG fans but don't have the internet, just ask if they'd like to be
included and I'll gladly put their names on! Remember, this is all up to
you...I can't do this by myself, so I desperately need your help!
~*~The future of Mine depends on you!!~*~

**Be sure to check out the Savage Gardener's webside! Aside from the pics of
Darren and Daniel when they were just little guys (literally!), she's added in
older pics from the ARIA awards last September, and a pic from an Australian
magazine talking about how the boys picked up the awards for Best Australian
Artist at the World Music Awards. And also, timed with the poll results, there
are lyrics to the SG songs! Note: the addy for the SGer's website will ALWAYS
be put at the very bottom of the newsletter unless my little head forgets
again :)

**For those who wonder what kind of cologne Daz and Dan wear, it's called Lynx
Africa!! As far as I know, this is not the same cologne that Natasha
Henstridge was commenting on during the MTV Live interview, but supposedly
this one smells pretty good! Thanks to our webmistress Sarah for the info!

**Here are the results from the favorite song poll!! But first, here are the
results from the same poll conducted about a year ago. Thanks to the very
first writer and co-founder of the SGer, Justin (ChiPRulz10), for sending
these!

Here were the results from that first newsletter:

1st Truly Madly Deeply
2nd I Want You
3rd Santa Monica
4th Break me Shake me
5th Carry on Dancing
6th Thousand Words
7th Tears of Pearls
8th Violet
9th Universe

And a year later:

Truly Madly Deeply:                       19.35%
Break Me Shake Me:                       9.68%
I Want You:                                      9.68%
Mine:                                                9.68%
Memories Are Designed to Fade:     9.68%
Santa Monica:                                  6.45%
Carry On Dancing:                            6.45%
To the Moon and Back:                    6.45%
Universe:                                          3.22%
Violet:                                              3.22%
Promises:                                         3.22%
All Around Me:                                 3.22%
This Side of Me:                               3.22%
Love Can Move You:                        3.22%
Fire Inside the Man:                         3.22%
A Thousand Words:                         3.22%

So there you have it. A year later Truly still seems to reign on top among the
Savage songs! Special thanks to Arkcadia for putting together the statistics!

**Apparently the branch of the tour we Americans are getting is NOT the Future
of Earthly Delites tour. Here in LA they're calling it the To the Moon and
Back Tour, most likely promoting the re-release of TTMAB whereas the Delites
tour was promoting the re-release of their album + bonus disc in Australia.
Can anyone else tell me in other areas if it's now the TTMAB tour? Thanks!

**As far as I have checked, there are NO CAMERAS ALLOWED at any of the concert
venues. This is most likely because the flashes will blind the guys. So don't
attempt to snap a pic because you'll get your camera either confiscated or you
could even get kicked out. All you really need are the memories which will
keep your heart floating forever. Trust me on this one, the memories of the SG
concerts I've been to have kept me happier than the pics have :o)

That's it for this week's edition of the Savage Gardener. PLEASE don't forget
to tell all SG fans you know (especially with websites) to advertise on their
sites the planned rebuttal of the ban of Mine. Make sure they know it's the
Savage Gardener behind this because I've had problems in the past of other
"organizations" taking specific info from my newsletter and claiming it's
theirs. Anyhoo, send your names and locations to me immediately so I can work
on this right away. I have not yet decided on a deadline, but I'm sure this
will go on for a couple months before I actually send the petition to
Columbia. But still, be sure to send your names immediately so you don't
forget!

Peace, love, and Savage Garden!
