Two review threads is a given. A single discussion thread isn't a bad idea, though. Good call, Let!

Sadly, odds of me catching one of these shows is very low. I'll keep waiting patiently for a Chicago date lol.

So... I hate to be a grammar nazi, but is it Rabbits on the Run (as in several, how V stated the album title), or Rabbit's on the Run (as in a singular possessive, as was posted on Razor and Tie's tweet)?

Anyway, yay Carousel (and May birthday buddies!)! They also hinted more tracks may be coming sooner than later, "if you're nice."

the crowd should be shot.

I was going to go with punched, but that works, too.

The "Learning to Fly" intro on "Carousel" is pretty dope. It reminded me of the cover Missy Higgins does of "Learning to Fly."

Thanks for the review and the videos.

Carousel's a good single choice. Without having heard the studio arrangement it is hard to say what kind of popular appeal it will have on that end, but the song itself has a feel people can get behind.

Vanessa played the role of singer Dusty Springfield on the American TV show American Dreams for one episode in 2003. She covered Dusty's song "Wishin' and Hopin'" in that episode.

We've seen V as a blonde before, here is a pic for comparison 



The lady in that video has a similar facial structure, but that's about it.

I find it kind of weird that the article doesn't specify any names, but good press is always better than no press at all.

This is definitely something that was done in the past like Let said, but it would be cool to do again. We will have to keep it under advisement once more live performance dates are announced.

i was wondering that too.  But lately, I've been thinking maybe I should just stop guessing things!

Sometimes it pays not to guess, other times the worst thing that can happen is you'll just be wrong! Either way, speculating sometimes can be fun.

Based on the songs they singled out in the press release, I wonder if Dear California, Carousel, and I Don't Want to Be a Bride will be the lead singles from the album. Interesting.

That's a cool video. I love the "I lip synched the .... out of that song" t-shirt that dude was wearing. I didn't even catch all the different people that were in the video the first time. I had to google it.

Per the internet, in the video are: Ben Folds; Cary Brothers; Greg Laswell; Adam Gardner and Ryan Miller of Guster; Laura Jansen; Adam Levine, Jesse Carmichael and James Valentine of Maroon 5; P.J. Morton; Pharrell Williams; Tegan & Sara; Vanessa Carlton; Ryan Tedder; internet lipdub superstar Keenan Cahill; Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland; Josh Groban; and Ingrid Michaelson.

Maybe the label didn't want that information out there yet.

I'm sure V has a good reason for deleting it.

« on: February 28, 2011, 08:15:06 pm »

She was listed as being on Razor and Tie at the Sunset Sessions performance too, so it appears to be legit. I don't think they've rolled out the promotion for her yet, though.
