So the Sarah Slean album Orphan Music has been released :) It's fabulous! I went out yesterday to pick it up after work with Tashia (who mainly came along to see if I'd totally freak out when I saw my photos somewhere in the album art work lol.) I picked up my copy in HMV and was saddened to see it wasn't on the new release shelf... hello we're in Canada, let's promote some CANADIAN musicians.... ones who aren't Avril Lavigne. Anyways, I got the album, opened it as Tash was buying whatever CD she got, and had some in store squeeing when I saw one of my pictures is on the cover of the cd booklet! I was beyond thrilled! I still am! I figured the pictures of mine that were used would be tucked away inside. Joy! Joy! Joy!

The album itself is wonderful. One of the songs (
When Another Midnight from the Harboufront shows) didn't make it on here but SO much other stuff did. On the way home I was listening to it and could not stop smiling. The live version of
The Score gave me giggles on the streetcar (just the beginning part of it... it's all in the cackle!) I also loved the little bits of dialoge which were left in there from the shows. I was also so glad that not only did we get the live Blue Spruce stuff (amazing!) but we also have strings verisons of Weight, Pilgrim and Lucky me(!) from the DNA studio. And two new to me songs:
Wilderness and
Little London Night. What struck me the most is here one can directly hear the comparison between studio Slean and live Slean. Now you can tell what a treat it is to see her live! She just shines on a stage. Oh and at the Harbourfront recordings I can so hear Neal a few times lol, that's so fun!
Now onto the pic spam
