The Savage Gardener #74
Here it is as promised...the SGer a day earlier. Anyhoo, we have another
major
VOTE session for you (but it's not my doing), and also the year end
songs of
'98 and things like that, AND...my one year anniversary of doing the
Savage
Gardener is almost here (January 9th!)! Wow...an entire year! Also
also, the
latest Fanzine has been released in Australia so it should reach the
rest of
us in the next few days. I hear that the new single has already been
recorded
and that we should expect the new album in the first 6 months of the
upcoming
year!

**"Truly" made it as the #7 music video on VH1's year-end Top 50. Congrats,
guys!!
**But wait, there's more! Savage Garden's album is the #9 album of the
year on
the Billboard charts!!
**The Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 countdown aired the first half of the
Top 98 of
98 this past weekend. "Moon" made it at #61 (not too shabby!) and "Truly"
is
guaranteed to be there in the second half this weekend!
**"Tears of Pearls" will be released in the Netherlands in January!!
Now
here's where I complain about every other country getting a new single
except
the U.S.!! Thanks to [email protected] for the info!!
**Check this out...YM magazine named Darren and Daniel two of the 50
Most
Beautiful Guys on Earth!!!! How about that?! Of course, we already
knew that,
didn't we?? Is it just me, or do the people behind YM REALLY like Savage
Garden?! They've been in that magazine LOTS of times!

Savage Trivia
Last week's trivia question was: This one is so easy, I'm ashamed! I'm
running
low on trivia questions. Hey! It's not my fault! I've been doing this
newsletter for almost a year now! Anyhoo, when Daniel gets bored with
someone,
he flicks them away like an insect. What's that nicknamed? The answer
is the
Insect Theory. Short attention span, I guess! Congrats to those who
got it
right!

This week's quessie is: What world-famous southern California attraction
were
Darren and Daniel on their way back from when they heard "I Want You"
on the
radio for the first time in the States?

Hey Lauren,
I just wanted to tell you that I loved the Ultimate SG Awards thing.
Are you
planning to do it again? Cuz I was thinking maybe you could do it once
a month
(or two months since the Sger comes out once a week). And if
you can't think
of questions, I'm sure readers would be happy to help you make up the
questions a week or so before you're planning to have them if you ask
(myself
included :-) .... Just an idea I'd thought I'd run by you... but let
me know
what you think. Keep up the great work on
the SGer!! This was a great issue btw.
I would love to do it again, seeing as how many of you told me how much
you
enjoyed it. The only problem is thinking of the questions! If I get
enough
enough usable questions, I'll probably consider doing it again. Glad
you liked
it! ~Lauren :o)

Hi Lauren,
In the last issue of the SGer (73rd) a few people were talking
about how like
Darren is to Bono of U2. well, I think a few of their songs have
a very U2
feel to them. "Love Can Move You" is very like the sound of U2`s
Joshua Tree
Album. I think it`s cool that Savage Garden can be so diverse with
their
music. Has anyone else noticed this?
Well, the only U2 song I've ever recalled hearing is "With or Without
You"
(which I love), so I'm not exactly the best judge. I have always recognized
the striking similarities between Bono's and Darren's hair though!
But yeah,
SG's music is definitely diverse. You can't categorize it as pop or
anything
else because it's so different. And that's one of the best things about
their
music! ~Lauren :o)

**Here's something I thought may be interesting to some people (hey,
I got a
kick out of it!). In "Santa Monica", there are quiet, tinkling bells
in the
background. They only play in the chorus (you know, "But on the telephone
line..."), but for some reason it just made me love the song even more.
Anyway, tell me I'm not imagining it!!
That's it for this week! A very major CONGRATULATIONS to Darren and
Daniel for
all that they've achieved this past year, and best wishes for even
more
success in 1999!! As for the rest of you, have a very Merry Christmas,
and
I'll catch you next week on New Year's Eve!!
Peace, love, and Savage Garden!
