General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Re: All Things "Rabbits on the Run" Part 2 New Release Date 07.26.11

Thank you iTunes for your obnoxiously long samples haha

AGREED! Although my resolve to wait for the whole album before listening to any of it has vanished because of it xD

To be fair, Itunes says expected release dJune 21
Dear Calinfornia is sooo catchy.  ("your face is like a papercut to the heart"--ingenious lyric) The 30 sec clip from amazon was in my head all night at work,  BRide sounds great.  I"m a little disappointed with london thus far though, it is one of my favs...I think it just doesn't have the same gusto as a live performance does.  album does remind of me a lazy sunday or lazy summer day.  love the harmonies that begin when get good cuts off.  chills with in the end.  but yes, hard to understand but it's obviously on purpose.

I agree with this. I think this is one record that you'd want to listen throughout Sundays over and over again. I remember V saying that she'd like to create something like this.

Didn't she say the same thing about Heroes and Thieves?

Yeah she did

i love it. there isn't a single track preview that doesn't cause little earthquakes in my heart.

i would love if someone made all of the previews into a single track fading them into each other. i'll do it if i have time.

I'll make it now Thanks Pushglow for the snippets!!

Here we go:

I was a bit taken back at the bit where she goes a little nude too xD But it's still a great video - my fave bit is when all the people put their hands on each other, perfectly timed with the lyrics at that point too!

WHOAA THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I was going to wait for the album before hearing any of it, but hell now that we have to wait til July, it's too long to wait!! I'll only listen to them once each though

i love it. there isn't a single track preview that doesn't cause little earthquakes in my heart.

They were all so beautiful..but in particular, London: gave me goosebumps..Hear the Bells was also hauntingly beautiful.

Question! (excuse my ignorance, there aren't really many Starbucks where I'm at xD)
When V's songs play at Starbucks, do they tell you what the song is? Or do they just play it and only if you're a fan do you know that V's playing?

Catching up on 10 pages of posts in this thread xDD

i dont think Janie is Jenny. She thanks Jenny in her album inserts

Uber ouch.

How did I not catch this?

My album insert thingy doesn't have anything... Where exactly is it?
(Unfortunately the only thing that gets my attention is where she thanks the "nessaholics" )

I just had a look too - thanks Emmyspiano! She thanks "Jennifer" in BNN!

Btw, looking at the Harmonium thank yous, I didn't realise she was already friends with Stevie Nicks at this time! (probably ignorance on my part)

New tweet!
Podium momnt? Gratfl 4 the fans & nessaholics who'v trcked&spprtd me all thse yrs. Ur a bunch of diamnds. Im lucky & I no it. Thnk u x

Lmao.

Okay, I think she reads the forum.

VANESSA - SIGN UP!

Maybe she already is   

Yeah, she actually has an account here, and she used to post here:
http://forum.nessaholics.com/index.php?board=13.0
Too bad she doesn't use her account anymore though..

I posted in another thread about how I feel about the delayed release date..disappointed, but like sobriquet says, nothing we can do about it so I'll just try and look at it positively

Super excited to see more snippets of the making-of ROTR though!!

If it makes you feel better, I don't believe she's ever been to Australia on tour xD I would SO support an international tour!!

AE: Yes. Have you found that gay organizations or publications have taken a greater interest in you now? Or does it not seem any different? Because I feel like the LGBT community has always enjoyed you.
VC: I don’t know. I’m a pretty private person, and the more you share about yourself the more people will feel like they can connect to you.

DO SHARE SOME MORE WITH US, V.

Thanks for the interview link! It's always fantastic to get more insight into the album!! I'm glad the light was let in by KT

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Re: All Things "Rabbits on the Run" Due: 06.21.11

« on: May 28, 2011, 10:55:02 pm »

Man, I'm a little disappointed. July 26th? That's AGES away - if it was early July, that'd be OK I guess, but literally another month? I'm sure there was some explanation..but still, feeling a little deflated. But yeah, I bet she was here..V's a lurker for sure!

Yeah, like somebody said this happens all the time....It's not going to kill me to wait but had been looking forward to having the album in 3 weeks for so long..so yeah, a little bummed.  Just kinda worried about going to the LA show now because I don't want to hear the entire album played live before I've heard it?

Even though I can't make it to the concerts (wrong country, damn it! V, come to Australia!!), I totally agree. I haven't listened to any of the live versions simply cos I want to hear the album for the first time, in all its perfection. Personally, I'd find it'd kinda suck to have the album played live before you get the chance to hear it properly

But anyways, putting aside my disappointment:

Thank you so much for sharing Martin!! I'm excited that we actually get a book for ROTR - hopefully it'll be good and have proper transcripts of her songs..otherwise, may have to rely on some of you excellent Nessaholics to do the transcribing

Aw, I just left a job that was within a block walk of Starbucks! In the winter I'd walk there for lunch just to get out of the office.  

That's pretty cool though that the songs are getting play. We'll have them soon enough. Patience.

Agreed.

And calm down guys, thanks heaps to Lavender Skies for sharing the news - it's great to know more!! The recording can wait. The thing I love about us Nessaholics is that we share as much information as we can get on V to our best abilities

And at least you guys have Starbucks - almost all the ones in Australia have shut, and I'm fairly sure the ones that are open wouldn't be playing/selling V's stuff xD
