The Baroness Redecorates, The Aftermath

A quick update on Sarah's new EP. The good news is that it's out, the bad news is that some people are having a hard time getting their hands on it.

The official site went 'out of stock' on the limited EP on the first day of it's release.
Copies will still be available at her concerts in Toronto to presumably supplies last and there is a chance any remainders will go back to the store.

Digital copies of the EP are only available to those in Canada for those using the official site or iTunes.

The official site did post the following message under their myspace news page:
"*The digital version of this EP is only available in Canada. Very sorry to all non-Canadians/Canadian residents! If we could sell to everyone, we would*

That being said, the 3rd official store to offer the digital version of the EP, Rhino records, can do international orders. Encoded at 256kbs, it should give everyone a chance to enjoy the EP the way it was intended to be heard.

For those who were lucky enough to get orders through on the physical version of the EP, reports are that some of them have already arrived. The EP has received very positive reviews from what I have seen.

Update 2008-12-18
The digital version is available to everyone now through SarahSlean.com according to the official mailing list posting earlier today. A confirmation that more CD's will be hitting the online store was also mentioned.

Another Holiday Guest Revealed

Posted below is a spoiler on another of this year's scheduled guests...

A few weeks ago we posted about a collaboration Sarah had done with The Roaring Girl Cabaret. Thanks to the comments of Emma Whitefield, who pointed out that Miranda Mulholland of the Roaring Girl Cabaret is joining Sarah for both nights of the holiday concert. This is confirmed on Miranda's myspace page.

We announced who another of the guests would be a few weeks ago in this thread.

On a side note, it appears that the CD copies of The Baroness Redecorates that went on sale exclusively through Sarah's online store sold out today. Copies should still be available at her concerts.

Sarah's part on World Aids Day

Sarah was one of the celebrities to get her hands dirty and sign for an auction to raise money and awareness this World Aids Day. On Monday Sarah among other celebrities from mostly CTV network shows dipped their hands in red paint and pressed them onto a piece of fabric that will be woven into a quilt and auctioned.

The event was held at Kiehl's Queen Street location in Toronto.
