The Savage Gardener #58
The bad news: the To the Moon and Back Tour has ended. Kaput. Finished.
Over.
Done. You get the idea.
The good news: now that Darren and Daniel are back home in Australia,
they can
finally be able to start work on their second album!! Yay!! And even
better is
Daniel will be granted his wish: to go back to the recording studio.
Sadly, we
almost had to say goodbye to Daniel last October because of that very
reason
:*(

SaVaGe NeWs
**America, prepare for Darren and Daniel's first TV appearance since
before
the tour started! And, of course, who else would it be but the guys'
biggest
celebrity fan but Rosie O'Donnell! That's right, the boys will be on
her show
September 7th for the third time, so it's NOT A REPEAT. I can just
imagine
what she'll say - "Almost 2 years ago I heard this song and loved it,
then I
heard another song and loved it and it turned out to be the same guys,
then I
heard another song and loved it and it turned out to be the same guys!"
If you
didn't catch their second appearance, you'll have no idea what I'm
talking
about :) But anyway, look out for a performance of To the Moon
and Back (I
would imagine). Hopefully this time they'll be able to talk!!!! And
many
thanks to both [email protected] and [email protected]
for almost
simultaneously telling me about the info!
**This week, To the Moon and Back falls back one spot to #16 on the
Rick Dees
Weekly Top 40.
**On the Billboard charts, Truly jumps ahead to #22 while Moon drops
back to
#31 (and I'm devastated about this! Keep requesting TTMAB!!!). The
album drops
back to #28.

Savage Trivia
I managed to stump ya again! Nobody got the trivia question right! The
question was: What was the name of the girl in Darren's French class
that he
had a huge crush on and walked by her house every day for a year only
to find
out she didn't live there? Her name was Angelique!
This week's quessie is: what music video by which artist did Daniel
and his
brothers try to recreate in their backyard by using a video camera?

SaVaGe CoMmEnTs
OK, I was surfing the Columbia site a few weeks ago for SG stuff, and
they HAD
AN AD FOR MARILYN MANSON!!! Now that just ticked me off of course because
they'll advertise for his satanic CRAP but they refuse to have anything
to do
with SG's "offensive" lyrics.. This was before I heard Mine for the
first time
(at my concert in Indi-- I got to see Daz steal the golf cart btw!)
and I
almost cried when I heard it!!! I can't believe Columbia would backstab
the
guys like that by saying they're too offensive, then turning around
and
advertising for the most offensive artist the world has ever known!!!
And
another thing you could bring up in your letter is that, if all else
fails,
they could always take that one line out.. as much as I would hate
it to
happen.. but at least the song would be released here for all the people
who
will never get to hear it and experience it's beauty otherwise.. and
it would
still rhyme, so that wouldn't be SUCH a big deal.. I just thought I'd
bring
that to your attention (if you hadn't already noticed it) and I wanna
say I
respect you for starting this petition and doing this letter to Columbia!
SG
fans everywhere thank you!!! :)
Eeeeeek!! How could Columbia be such HYPOCRITES?! That REALLY made me
mad!
Well, I'm definitely going to use your comments in the letter I'm writing
to
explain the petition (I'll type it up for you all to see next week).
Thank you
so much for saying you respect me for doing this - I'm doing this out
of
respect for Darren and Daniel's work, and out of respect for those
who aren't
able to hear it, and also, simply because I think it's ridiculous.
Your
comment about them changing that one line was brought up before by
another
subscriber, but like I told her, I can't see Darren doing that. It
just
doesn't strike me as something Dazza would agree to. Well, thanks again!!
~Lauren :o)

I was also at the August 25 concert for Savage Garden
And get this Daniel did come out After the show (My friend Carmela
and I were
Doin our Makeup in the bathroom and as we were leaving we saw him)
. He was
with the Bass player and it was near the Main Enterence.
Carmela nearly
Bumped into him ,then Started doin this laugh i never heard before
And when i
looked at who she was gettin all giddy over it Was Daniel. Needless
to say she
pushed me and I nearly fell in front of the heavenly God but she grabbed
my
arm and Skipped away. So in reference to DarrenSVGRD's
comment he was there
and They had to Leave ASAP cause they were due at MARS2112 for
this Z100
promo party(I was there too).
To get pics of the action go to Partyshots.com I'm there along with
Carmela(I'm a Z100 winner. Go ME!!!!!!) And i got to meet
Darren Again and
to my surprise he actually remembered me and Carmela from MTV studios.
And
I got to look Daniel Jones face to face and what Beutiful eyes he has!!!!!!!
OUCH!!!!!!! Oh yeah can someone please tell me what Fragrance
Darren
wears?.......that man smells so GOOD!!!!!
Well, according to the MTV Live interview back in April, the cologne
Daz wears
is Dolce & Gabbana (did I spell that right?). And Natasha Henstridge
sure
seemed to love it, so that's probably the same one he still wears :)

I was wondering if you could post this in the next edition of the Savage

Hey Lauren!!!!! Well, I got bored the other day and was looking
through my SG
stuff when I came upon the pics for the Japanese Ultra Rare Tracks
single for
TMD and I realized that they're pretty cute pics so I made some captions
for
them if you wanted to put this in your newsletter.....
Truly Madly Wacky
Pic:
1 (Front cover)-Daz: My neck really hurts from when I fell off
the catwalk,
Dan.
Dan: Just be glad that's the only thing that hurts.
2-Dan: Hey Darren, would you mind moving your spikes so that
our fans can at
least see one of my eyebrows???
Daz: It's all about the hair.
3-(top)Dan: So when you become a rock star, they make you do
all these stupid
poses like this one.
Daz: My neck still hurts.
(bottom) Dan: Darren!!! You're still
blocking the view of my eyebrows.
Daz: That's your sunglasses,
Dan.
4- (top L) Dan: Hey Darren! I think your spikes have grown
a whole
centimeter since we've been on tour!
Daz: Nah. It's probably just the
buildup of all the gel I use.
(middle) Dan: Do you think they'll
ever stop with the stupid poses?
For gosh sakes, we're posing with CHESS pieces.
Daz: I'm not saying anything.
(bottom)Dan: Dude, is that Meg
Ryan over there?
Daz: Oi vey.
(right) Dan: Do you think
that Meg Ryan really was here?
Daz: My back still hurts.
5-Dan and Daz: Hey, who's those hot looking guys over there?
6- Dan: Those guys are staring at us, Daz.
Daz: That's us, Jonesy. Now thanks to
technology, they can make
illusions like that.
Dan: Oh
7-Daz: I'm shrinking....I'm shrinking
Dan: That's because we actually got a stage
set this time.
8-Daz: Da-da, spread your wings and fly....spread your wings
and fly.
Anna-Ohmi....
9-Daz: Okay, that's the last time I try and do the 'Michael Jackson'.
Anna: Ha ha ha
Jenni: Oh please....
10-Daz: Place left hand over right hand...be careful to touch,
not
pull......Aaack!!!! Next time I am MIMING the action.
11-Daz: Ooh, I want you, don't know if I need you but....
Dan: Okay, this positioning will
REALLY show all those stupid people
out there that we're not gay.....by the way, Darren, did you remember
to put
on deoderant this morning?
12-(top L)Daz: WHAT??? WE COME ALL THE WAY TO AMERICA AND
YOU FORGOT MY HAIR
GEL!!!!!!
(bottom L)Daz: You don't understand,
I NEED my hair gel!!!!! Please,
please, please, can we quickly fly back to Australia and get it?
(right)Daz: THAT'S IT!!!!!
WHO'S IN CHARGE OF MY COSTUMES AND HAIR
ANYWAY?????? My wife? Heh, heh...oh yeah.....
13-Daz: But I still need the gel, I tell you!! I really
do!!!
14-Dan: Woah!!!!! That really IS Meg Ryan over there....
LOL, that was really creative!! Thanks for sharing it with everyone!

On my way to Hungary, I heard TMD in Austria at 18 km far from Wien.
In
Budapest, at the bottom of the castle, while I was walking, I heard
TMD :
so I just stayed and listened to it ! And when I came back home, I
saw the
video for TMD on VIVA ( the German equivalent of MTV ! ) !

******************
For the newsletter:
Today (or yesterday since technically it's 12:29 am) I was wondering
around
the 'S' section of Media Play (how can a store that had every OTHER
Bruce
SPRINGSTIEN album not have 'Born in the USA'?!) I noticed a CD marked
'import'. Seems good-old Media play has started carrying CDs formerly
not
available in the US. So, praying to god that I might be right, I walk
over to
the 'SA' portion of 'Popular Music' to see if I could get the Australian
remix
CD. Unfortunately, Media Play has yet to actually cooperate with my
wishes and
had neglected to have it. I did, however, find the Japanese CD. So
of course
like any good little SG fan I bought it. For those not lucky enough
to live
near a Media Play that gets imports from Japan, here's what it is.
Basically
it's technically called 'Truly Madly Deeply ~ Ultra Rare Tracks'. There
is all
the B-sides and whatnot everyone I'm sure that's reading this have
heard VIA
RealAudio, except 'Mine', of course since blasted Columbia distributes
SG CDs
in Japan. Well, here's the track listing.
Track 1: All around me. The track that didn't make it onto the US SG
album
that's on the Australian album though. I STILL can't believe that that's
Darren Hayes singing that weird voice.
Track 2: TMD, album version. The only track that's on the US album,
too.
Track 3: Fire in side the man. Columbia won't release 'Mine' because
of
'Religious Content' and they let this and 'I bet He was cool' slip
through?
Track 4: I Bet He Was Cool. I still find it kinda odd that a track
about Jesus
has the word 'cool' in it.
Track 5: I Want You (xeno mania punxy mix). Definitely one of the better
SG
remixes. A more flowing version of the song than heard most anywhere
else.
Track 6: Love Can Move You. Great song. One of my fave's.
Track 7: This Side Of Me. Real audio song quality just doesn't do this
song
justice.
Track 8: Memories are designed to fade. And yet no one ever forgets
this song.
(`Least I haven't.)
Track 9: To the moon & back (hanis Num radio edit). Great Remix.
I've noticed
that while the US album version of this song is the longest track on
the CD,
the remix is one of the shortest. (If not THE.)
Track 10: Santa Monica (bittersweet mix). At the start of this track
you kinda
don't believe that this is 'Santa Monica' but then it sets in.
Track 11: Break Me Shake Me (acoustic live). This song was written
to be
performed live.
Track 12: I want you (acoustic live). Though it doesn't say (in English
at
least), I'm pretty sure this is from their performance on the Rosie
O'Donnel
Show.
Track 13: TMD (Dub Mix). A great if not a little unusual remix.
Track 14: TMD (Australian mix). The Australian version of this song.
Well, every track is GREAT, TERRIFIC, SENSATIONAL, ect. The accompanying
booklet has pics mostly from concerts. And there is this poll-out sheet
with
the lyrics in both English and Japanese. Well, that's a lot of typing,
but I
(hope, think, pray) that it was worth it. You can tell I've been a
devoted fan
for quite some time.
******************************************************************************
******************
For your savage comments section if you want to put it in.
I think Australians are starting to sorely miss their guys. This week
I have
heard Savage Garden everyday on the radio between local and national
stations.
In fact I heard BMSM on one local station and flipped over to another
and
found myself hearing TMD! Through out the week I heard all of the first
five
singles which is unusual. I don't even listen to the radio that much
and so it
just goes to show Aussies are desperate for D and D's music and their
new
album. It's like a plague. Everywhere I go Savage
Garden pops up in my face. I walk down the street and past shops playing
the album,I walk into foyers of cinemas and hear the album. I have
friends who call me just to say they've heard a Savage garden song.
At
the moment the album is splashed across the television again and being
advertised as 'A HIT album with over 8 million copies sold worldwide.'
Australians are feeling savagely deprived! Come back Darren and Daniel,
we love you!
>From Dale!
Aww, that was so sweet!! I can just see how anxious Australia is for
the new
album. I still think that Daz and Dan were right to take a break from
Oz by
not releasing anymore singles for the rest of the year because to those
who
aren't fans, you don't want overkill! Of course, there's still the
question of
whether or not the second album will live up to the first. I'm sure
we ALL
believe it will! ~Lauren :o)
******************************************************************************
******************
Some very cool info from our webmistress/Aussie correspondant, Sarah!:
Well, you probably heard this by now, but... last night someone (a contact
of some sort (she knows the boys and/or their management personally)
but I
didn't get to hear the whole story) rang in to the Ugly Phil show and
said
how Madonna heard that Daz and Dan were doing 'Ray Of Light' in their
warmup
routine. Anyways, her management rang theirs and said she was interested
in
hearing it, so Daz convinced Dan to write it into their set (during
Promises
when they go into another song for a bit - very cool). Apparently she
went in
'anonymously' around 8 and took a seat in the 14th row?! She rocked
on there
for a while, listened for 'Ray' and then left before the end of the
concert.
Daz is a huge fan of her so apparently was psyched to know about it.
I know
these details are sketchy - I didn't even catch which concert this
was, but -
you'll probably get detailed info somewhere else - if you haven't got
it
already!
******************************************************************************
******************
Hay!

If anyone has the imported Savage Garden video from Japan, let me know!!!!
I
just ordered it with my parents credit card and they're all pissed
since they
think it's a waste of 4+ dollars (I ordered it the day after it came
out). I
haven't gotten it yet and was wondering if any of you know whats on
it
exactly. All I heard is that it's a "video collection".

I would also like to make an extended thank you to those who helped
me out by
advertising the petition on their websites. Since I don't have a complete
list
over who did, I can't thank them by name. But if you did and you're
reading
this, thank you very much :)
**Also, I thought it'd be nice if you could be able to read the letter
I'm
sending to accompany the petition, so here's a copy I typed up for
you:
To Whom This May Concern:
I am a loyal fan of Savage Garden and I write a weekly online
newsletter
called the Savage Gardener which currently reaches about 350 people
world-
wide. Doing this requires many hours of searching for news and information
surrounding the band. I frequently come across little-known interviews,
and
one of them really stood out.
The article, entitled "All That Is Delitefully Savage", told
little-known
facts about a few select songs, including "Mine", which appeared on
the
Australian release album. Darren Hayes mentioned that the song was
refused
release in the United States by Columbia because he and his bandmate,
Daniel
Jones, were told that the song is "lyrically overblown, offensive,
and quite
frankly has no place in the American market" because of it's religious
content, which, I may add, is only one single line. Please correct
me if I'm
wrong, but doesn't "I'll Bet He Was Cool", the song on the B-side of
"Truly
Madly Deeply", have an entire song filled with religious content? And
if
"Mine" has no place in the American market because of the religious
overtones,
how in the world did "Cool" ever get approved for release??
And if religious overtones are not suitable for the American
market, why are
there gospel singers releasing records? Why are there Christian music
groups?
Why doesn't anybody stop Marilyn Manson, whose album entitled Antichrist
Superstar is by far worse than the single lyric in "Mine" that was
the only
reason the song was not acceptable for release? Basically, myself and
fellow
fans see the decision about "Mine" as nothing but hypocritical.
I have spent the last couple months collecting names for a petition
in hopes
of showing that the only offensive subject in this situation is your
refusal
of releasing it. People who are very religious have come forward telling
me
"Cool" offended them while "Mine" did not.
"Mine" placed second in a favorite songs survey conducted in
my newsletter
and those who have heard it would love to have it on CD while those
who
haven't have expressed a deep desire to hear the song which can be
described
simply as beautiful and haunting. Said one fan: "I did a breakdown
of the song
'Mine' in English class and when I played the song, everyone...asked
where
they could get it. When I told them that they would never be able to
get it in
America, they were disappointed." So you see, Savage Garden fans aren't
the
only ones to wish for its release.
Yet another comment from a fan concentrates on your hypocracy:
"...I was
surfing the Columbia site a few weeks ago for SG [Savage Garden] stuff,
and
they HAD AN AD FOR MARILYN MANSON!!! Now that just ticked me
off...because...they would backstab the guys like that by saying they're
offensive, then turning around and advertising for the most offensive
artist
the world has ever known!!!" She went on to say that upon hearing "Mine"
for
the very first time at a recent Savage Garden concert, she cried. Its
meaningful lyrics and haunting melody has that affect on people.
Please don't prevent this beautiful song from being available
to Darren and
Daniel's international fans. Included here are the names of people
who would
love to see "Mine" on the B-side of an upcoming single. It's not fair
to keep
one of Savage Garden's most beautiful songs from ever reaching the
ears of
their fans. Thank you for your time, and please take this into consideration.
Well there ya have it. My Savage side wanted to basically chew Columbia
out,
but I didn't think that would go over too well with them :) Again,
a major
thank you to those who supported the petition by signing your names
and
advertising on your websites!!! It's very much appreciated!!!
That's it for this week's edition of the Savage Gardener. Don't forget
about
the Rosie O'Donnell appearance this Monday!!!! In the meantime, stay
Savage!!!
Peace, love, and Savage Garden!
