When I launched this site 2 years ago
-I had just learned how to write HTML, so this is a fairly simple format. I just need
about a week off from work to completely revamp it - the only problem is my job doesn't
see a web site revamp as a legit reason to call off.. SO, for now, I have moved most of the articles,
reviews etc to a second news page. I have Darren's post about his marriage, Information about the TCFC DVD,
a lot of articles, etc.
From now on anything new will be added to the page you are reading right now
then after a few weeks it'll be moved to the 2nd news page and then after a few months,
it'll be moved to the archives. If you have a problem finding something - email me
Marilyn and I'll help you find it.
I'm sorry, but now you have to wait for my approval before your post shows
up in my guest book-someone is posting all sorts of gibberish on it- Thanks! Marilyn Sign GuestbookView Guestbook

'This Delicate Film We've Made' hits UK record stores on Tuesday Feb 3rd.
Not released anywhere else in the world! It's PAL and region free so Australian peeps -
this will work on your players and anywhere else that can play PAL format.
This is the
result of 3 years of planning and a solid year of work for animator Richard Cullen,
with work by Damian Hale and the incredible artwork of Jane Wallace. Mixed in 5.1
surround sound - it's the visual movie to my music. And most importantly it's a dream
finally come true for me. If you can't wait until Feb 3 you can pre order your copies
by clicking HERE or by visiting
I'm so freakin' proud and excited about this DVD, and I hope you feel the same way!
Love always
xD
P.S For those in the U.S or other parts of the world that don't think they can play a region free PAL DVD (most people can these days btw..) It's being released on iTunes worldwide this year.
More news to come.
DARREN'S NEW DVD OF THE TIME MACHINE TOUR!
Darren's post on MySpace (July 25,2008)
The Time Machine Tour DVD is on track to enter the UK Music DVD Charts at NUMBER ONE this week and with glowing reviews:
Sydney Morning Herald "Easily the best thing he'd done."
Accessallareas.com "Darren Hayes continues to do what he does best… dazzle an audience with an impressive stage set and presence which has all been captured on to a remarkable DVD"
"An array of some of the best pop/rock/electronic songs ever released, this DVD is a must have!"
GenQ "This DVD is a MUST-HAVE for anyone who is a fan of Darren Hayes. Believe me, you will treasure it
forever! "
Pop Republic "The show from the performer of the year. Brilliant."
Sunday Telegraph "Theatrical masterpiece"
Filmink "Hayes must be applauded for such ambition on such an elaborate production, which is part music concert, part theatre, and is delivered with vigorous enthusiasm"
Ok "Showcases the performer at his best"
The DVD marks the completion of a project that has seen Darren graduate from pop star to label head and CEO of his own independent record company.
The show, designed by legendary U2 and Rolling Stones designer Willie Williams featured, amongst other things, a 24 foot animatronic steel and neon origami bird and set pieces straight from a Jules Verne novel.
'This was the tour I've always dreamed of. Bowie and Peter Gabriel made the blueprint for this type of rock theatre - and although it sounds morbid, doing a show like this was one of my 'before I die' wishes. I simply had to do something like this once in my life and I couldn't think of a better moment than this period to try'
Darren Hayes helps with high notes for Human Nature
If you want to read the actual article: The Daily Telegraph
THEY sang their way through Motown, but when Human Nature started
aiming for higher notes, with a symphonic sound, Aussie singer Darren
Hayes dropped in to lend a hand - and his vocal chords.
Hayes, in Sydney for a role on tomorrow night's Australian Idol, added
his touch to the super group's upcoming album, A Symphony of Hits,
penning and appearing on a track he wrote for them.
Currently recording the final tracks for the new release, Human Nature
recorded the bulk of the CD in Prague with its symphony orchestra and
will hit the road from December with local orchestras.
The former Savage Garden frontman, guest judge alongside Tina Arena
and Ian 'Dicko' Dickson at this year's London audition, has decided to
come home to help the Idol contestants as they prepare for Aussie Hits
week.
Cyndi Lauper will be a special guest judge on Sunday's 80s theme
episode, and will perform her classic hit Time After Time on Monday's
elimination show.
It's the first year Australian Idol has introduced celebrity mentors,
with producers promising more big names to come.
"We are thrilled that the level of talent that Idol has uncovered this
year has attracted so many major international musicians," Network Ten
executive producer Stephen Tate told AAP.
"Watch for more announcements in the coming weeks."
Music director John Foreman, who's been with the Network Ten singing
contest from its beginning in 2003, said there was a lot of exciting
performers to come.
"Producers of the show are aiming very high this year," Foreman told
AAP today.
"There's two reasons for this: number one it's great for the
contestants to have the opportunity to be mentored by people who
really know what they're doing.
"And the other thing is that Australian Idol is pulling such high
viewer numbers now that for an artist to launch an album or promote a
single it's actually a very valuable vehicle for them to do that."
Lauper has been very hands-on with the hopefuls this week, pushing
them outside their comfort zone.
"Cyndi Lauper's approach to performance is probably very different to
how many of these contestants would have approached performing, but
we've just spent the last couple of days working with her and she's
worked quite closely and became quite engaged with each contestant,"
Foreman said.
"She's obviously a fan of the show, she's a fan of each of the
contestants, and was very keen to spend lots of time with them."
