Sarah's album with the Art of Time (Track list)
In August I revealed some details about Sarah recording songs from the 'Great Toronto Songbook' with the Art of Time Ensemble. At the time of that posting, I was able to speculate to what songs might make the album based on the song set list from the concerts.
The official track listing for the album has now been posted on Phermone Recordings who have signed the 'Art of Time Ensemble with Sarah Slean'. The on sale date of the album is still listed as 'Coming Soon'. Four songs are available to preview but did not play smoothly on my attempts to play them. They are hosting a stunning 45MB high resolution photo of both Sarah and Andrew Burashko of the Art of Time.
01 Hey That’s No Way To Say Goodbye
02 Monarch
03 Black Flowers
04 I’ll Never Tear You Apart
05 Lodestar
06 You Give Me Something To Cry About
07 Dandelion Wine
08 Eyes Are The Flowers
09 Dress Rehearsal Rag
10 No More Named Johnny
The album contains each song that Sarah performed at the concert with the exception To Cry About (Mary-Margaret O'Hara), Stride (Hayden) I Don't Need More (Katheryn Rose) and The Lonely Side of The Moon.
Update 2009-01-30:
I have been advised the samples do play fine in Internet Explorer.An unconfirmed release date is for April. I will create a new post when that can be confirmed.
Update 2009-04-07:
I have been updated that the release date has been changed to June 2, 2009.

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:
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.

Holiday Show Guest Revealed
For those that like receiving early gifts, one of this year's 'surprise' holiday guests have been revealed. I'm not going to give any hints, but if you would like to know who it is, follow this link.
Passioneer Holiday Project 2008
The 4th Passioneer Holiday Project is now in full swing! It is a way for fans to give back to Sarah for all she has given us this past year. For more information and how to contribute, please see the thread on the official forum over here.
For those unfamiliar with this project, it has been a tradition since 2005. Fans do a good deed for an organization of their choice and then have their name and contribution included in a card. The card is then given to Sarah as a gift after her annual holiday shows in Toronto. This is a completely fan-run endeavor and has drawn participation of fans from around the globe.
Pictures from past years are archived in various places, but here are sources for a few of them.
