The Savage Gardener #96

I was in such a rush last week that I didn't get to talk about STAR WARS. I'm
seeing it this weekend (yay!!) and can't wait! I'm sure Darren has seen it
already! I've decided if I ever have a son (which I won't, since I'm never
getting married) I'm going to name him Anakin (as in Skywalker, for those of
you living under a rock). I just love that name! Anakin Chewbacca. No, Anakin
Jar Jar. Anyway, I had to put a little thingy in here about that since I love
it and Darren loves it! Now, on with the newsletter!

**Here's an interesting little thing you can buy. Ty (you know, the company
that makes the much-feared Beanie Babies) has out a koala, that is NOT a
Beanie Baby, named Brisbane! Thanks to [email protected] for the info!

**If you haven't checked out the official Sony Savage Garden site
<www.savagegarden.com>, go there NOW. It has a couple pictures of the guys
working in the studio and a HILARIOUS movie of the guys on motor-scooters
(Daniel takes a spill, which cracks Darren up!). You'll need the Quicktime
plugin to view it, though.

**Billboard Man is at it again! [email protected]  has word from SG's record
company that the release date for the album (for now) is September 28th.
Right on time for my birthday, although I doubt I'll wait 2 days to get it.
So much for an August release. Come on, Darren and Daniel! Where are you?!

                                            Savage Trivia

Last week's trivia question was: When Daniel was younger, he used to want to
be a footballer or a ______. Fill in the blank, and bonus questions if you
can let us know what the heck a ______ is!! I have an idea, although it's not
G-rated, so...never mind. And no, it's not an exotic dancer! That's his
hidden talent. Anyway, the answer is a lollipop man. Whatever it is! Congrats
to the three people who got it right!

This week's quessie is: What has Daniel said is the worst pickup line that's
ever been used on him?

Hey Lauren!!! I was just looking through the thank you's of all of my cd's
and I don't know if anyone has said this before, but on matchbox20's cd, they
thank  "Daniel Savage." I just thought that was cool. k well anyways, good
work with your Savage Gardener... almost issue 100!!

Wow! I have that CD but never even noticed that! That's so cool! ~Lauren :o)

Hi Lauren!!
Last weekend I went to see "Never Been Kissed", it was awesome! Michael
Vartan, who plays the hot English teacher, I personally think looks like
Daniel Jones!!! Anyone who has seen this excellent movie, tell me if you
agree!! hehehe
Also, in the movie, there's SG, probably for the school name.
well I think that's all I have to say!
Keep up the excellent work, Lauren! :)

Someone else said the same thing to me (wasn't it you, Tammy?). I definitely
see the resemblance! ~Lauren :o)

******************************************************************************
*******************
My friend Sarah, who lives in Brooklyn, NY..was out w/ her friend a few weeks
ago, in the city.  Well they were walking down the street and you'll never
guess who they ran into!  Darren Hayes of SG! She said he looked paranoid,
and he was just like 'Hey.' when her friend Moe when pointed out who he was.
He was w/ another guy headed somewhere.  Anywayz I just thought this was
really kewl..sorry that there's not many details but Sarah told me this a few
weeks ago and it totally slipped my mind.. Well check ya laterz..

Hi Lauren!
     I have an interesting little thing for you.  I was watching TAS and
noticed something.  When the piece of confetti floats in front of Darren (and
then he smiles) it is a lot like in TMD when the leaf floats in front of
Darren.  I was watching them both and I was like wow!  How about that.  Two
videos and something similar happens!  Natural too!  LOL  Well, I thought it
was interesting!  :)  Have a great day!!!!

[email protected]

Who would have thought that would happen again? The leaf thing in "Truly" is
one of my favorite things! Darren somehow manages to keep himself from
laughing, but you can tell from the expression on his face that he was caught
by surprise. As for me, I would have cracked up or something. Good
observation! ~Lauren :o)

hey Lauren!

Savage Garden's in the August issue of SuperTeen.  It's near the back, on
the gossip page.  There's a small pic from IWY and a short message:

Yes, Savage Garden's Darren Hayes and Daniel Jones are recording album
number two, and yes, their hit from The Other Sister soundtrack, "The
Animal Song," will be on it!

I know it's not much, but I just thought I'd share.  =)

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). 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.
