April 27th, 2008Things to distract you
April 27th, 2008I 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.
Sarahboards
April 27th, 2008I’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 
FTE Re-release update!
April 18th, 2008Commenter .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….
Fumbling Re-Release?
April 18th, 2008Oh 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.
Gallery additions and other updates
March 19th, 2008I’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.
Rarities 2 – final tracklist and cover!
March 18th, 2008Here it is, the cover for Rarities, B-Sides & Other Stuff Vol. 2 and it’s frakking gorgeous!
Rarities, B-Sides and Other Stuff Vol. 2
And here’s the final tracklist, thanks to Amazon (you can pre-order the cd there, of course)
1. Ordinary Miracle
2. Blackbird
3. Time After Time (with Cyndi Lauper)
4. River
5. When She Loved Me
6. Don’t Let Go (with Bryan Adams)
7. Just Like Me (with Run DMC)
8. Angel (Live) (with Emmylou Harris)
9. Pills (Live) (with The Perishers)
10. Homeless (with Ladysmith Black Mambazo)
11. The Rainbow Connection
12. Prayer of St. Francis
13. Unchained Melody
14. Silence (DJ Tiesto ISOS Remix)
Even though it was the right move to include Homeless, I’m still disappointed by the tracklist. Nevermind though, since I am now officially happy about the album, thanks to this wonderful Surfacing-era cover.
March Updates
March 9th, 2008Just checking in for some general updates which include a desktop calendar for March (I know I’m late, but oh the stress) which you’ll find in the right site column and secondly: there’s also a new poll, and this time it’s all about the upcoming Rarities 2 release.
Personally, I’ll probably buy it just to have a complete Sarah collection but I’m certainly getting a little angry about all these nonsense releases featuring songs that most fans already have in their collection (after all, our site is a pretty good source for the songs from Rarities 2…). There are plenty of old unreleased gems out there that have only been available on bootlegs so far, which would have made up an amazing tracklist. Still, no luck there…
Anyhow, here’s the March calendar in wallpaper form
