Haha, I like that line "Sarah Slean's stare is more powerful than 200 Care Bears".

Nice interview, thanks for posting.

[quote:683383bbe1]"This is my mission, to spread beauty," Slean says. "If only everyone made it their mission, for an hour a day, to spread some beauty, to plant a goddamn flower, or do something kind. I think that if you're full of wonder and reverence for the world and what goes on, and the miracles everywhere then you can't be an asshole."[/quote:683383bbe1]

She's fabulous.

God. awesome interview

i love her

[quote:3e575cea74]And I don't know about you, but when I get a record I sit down and I listen to it and I have the little book out.[/quote:3e575cea74]

that's exactly what i do! I think of albums as books. I need to listen to it from beginning to end in the order that the artist intended to really "absorb" the album for me.

yup. but it depends on the cd. I'm not going to sit and listen to my Kylie Minogue CDs (yes plural lol) and look at the booklet of her whoring herself.

ROTFLMAO! Wonderful! also true. I think that's the difference between artistic cd booklets (Slean) and ones that are just there because they have to be and it's another opportunity to show off your ass (I'm assuming Minogue here, I don't own her cds.. but I have ones that are probably similar lol)

Good point made. I think artists SHOULD pay more attention to the sleeves of cds, because I really think it should be an extention of their art.

The booklet is half of the whole phurcase to me!

In res one whole wall of my room was cd booklets... wallpaper style. When I moved to mexico I left all my cd sleeves behind and brought a huge cd wallet with me... I kinda miss them come to think of it.

I keep on imagining Sarah vs No-heart. He was an excellent villian. I think of her more interms of that raging war. Love vs that with no heart, weather it be with relationships, gov, business ppl, hooligans.

Most her lyerics fly over my head but that theme seems to stick around. I remember one show were Sarah said that she tried "not to fall in love", and of course did. that silly conflict.

the friend i went to the phoenix show with is a carebear. =p
