Sorry for the delay but I’m in the middle of “exam week” and that one needed just a little bit of preparation…

Nevermind though, I still managed to scrape together this month’s desktop calendar, to your left! Click here for the wallpaper version, as always. I’m not sure I like it since I was trying to go down nostalgia lane with all that FTE re-release talk but it didn’t really work out the way I wanted it.

Also, there’s a new poll for those of you who have bought Rarities 2 since the last poll on the album indicated that most of you will buy the album no matter what. And if you’re interested, the last poll on FTE showed that most of you would only welcome a re-release if it includes some fancy extras.

Enjoy and have a wonderful day!

Rarities 2 has landed and according to the Canadian Press, Sarah currently holds the Nr. 6 spot on HMV Canada’s Top Ten CDs. Not bad for a week with Mariah and Madonna.

Also, the Vancouver Sun has a nice Sarah sighting:

The Opus Hotel’s Elixir bistro moderne has had a few interesting people sauntering through in recent weeks. Superstar Sarah McLachlan was in to enjoy the casual elegance, shared plates and fine wine with friends including husband/drummer Ashwin Sood.

And I will leave you with Amazon.ca’s Rarities 2 reviews to read.

I know that the boards still aren’t working, so here’s a few things that popped up today…

Rollingstone’s review of Coachella’s second day included the following (cute) Sarah mention:

As though “Creep” had taken too much out of him, Prince slipped offstage long enough for one of his backup singers to perform a stirring version of Sarah McLachlan’s “In the Arms of an Angel” that left some attendees teary-eyed.

Too bad not even a music editor can get the name of the song right.

And if you’re interested, I also added a review of Rarities 2 to our articles archive here.

I’m really sorry but I just can’t get the boards to work right now. I need some more time but hopefully they’ll be back online today, please be patient

Commenter .k. just found the following confirmation on the upcoming FTE re-release:

“Fumbling Towards Ecstasy: Legacy Edition [CD/DVD]” (2 CDs, with a live DVD companion to the 1993 album; disc 3 features the 1995’s “The Freedom Sessions”)
(Columbia/Legacy, Aug. 5, 2008)

And again, I’m most excited about the new packaging the album will get, we’ll see about the rest. Now I wonder why Nettwerk (or Legacy in this case, who sold them the rights?) is pushing all these Sarah compliations, re-releases, etc. this year. In my opionion, this can only mean two things: a) Sarah will release a new album in the fall or 2009 and they need a PR push before that or b) she doesn’t want to release a new album and they’re trying to make as much money off her as long as people still remember her….

Oh how I love our message board. Today, forum member Matt posted the following:

Fumbling Re-release - Aug 5
I know some one who works at a radio station and this was listed on their call sheet (i think thats what he called it) this morning. Its going to be 2 cds and a dvd. No other info at this time though
Its probably just fte, freedom sessions and the fte live packed into one great cash-n, I mean package.

If this is true, well… weeee! I’m not really one for re-releases (though, as another member pointed out, there’s nothing wrong with digital remastering, depending on the album it can be quite exciting), this makes a lot more sense than the Mirrorball re-release or even Rarities 2.
And to quote even more of our board members, Miguel pointed out that all the re-releasing, Greatest Hits, etc. might just be because of Sarah’s contract ending.

I’ll start with the additions to the newer galleries, One Night Live and the MusiCan performance:

And I have also come around to adding the fabulous Afterglow promo pics that were posted on our forums. Some of them are completely new (as in, new to the site) while others are bigger versions:

I love the second one, it’s pretty fierce. Check the Afterglow gallery for 3 more pics. Thanks to picture queen K!

Other site updates include an updated articles archive with stuff from 2008 (click!) and a couple of new additions to our Songs Database to try and complete the new entry for Rarities, B-Sides & Other Stuff Vol. 2. As you see, there’s still a couple of collabs missing but I’ll try and finish it before the album comes out.
