King Kong Musical and fall suprise?

 

Thursday, August 23rd, 2012

Sarah posted this on her Twitter (as a reply to someone):

new music will be in 2013 Hannah but there may be a small fall surprise 🙂

Earlier she posted on Facebook about writing a song for the King Kong Musical in January 2013… though I can’t find the exact post anymore, I did find this on WSJ Speakeasy:

If you see Grammy-winning singer Sarah McLachlan climbing the Empire State Building, she may just be looking for inspiration.
McLachlan posted this note on Facebook earlier today: “I am writing a song for the new King Kong musical that debuts jan 2013 xoS”

Sarah just posted a blog post over at the Huffington Post Canada:

Music is life. Melody and song have been the golden threads woven into and through the fabric of my time on this earth. Its powerful energy runs through us all, underneath, like the ocean at times quiet and calm and then raucous and wild, joyous, or raging with fury mirroring all our many moods and helping us feel, hear and tell our stories.

Kinda, sorta bad news

Well kind of. As I’m typing I’m downloading the last file available on my 4Shared account (for those who didn’t know, I use(d) 4Shared to give you guys most of the downloadlinks available in the Other Stuff section – mp3’s, videos, etc) and after that, deleting my account. Why?

Last week I received an email that two files available on my account were reported as abuse/illegal/not my own, you name it. Seems someone has been trying out the “report this as abuse” button on the site… No big, I thought, but I also knew more was probably coming since I had way more files on my account like that (they’re all Sarah-related files, go figure). The email from 4Shared gave me the options to delete and promise I had nothing else like that, or claim that they were my own files. Nope, not going to happen. Well, today I received my second email from them, and currently the abuse folder holds 8 files. Strike 3 and I’m out, so I decided to end it before they did… Which means:

– the downloadlinks in the Other Stuff/Multimedia section are mostly dead (besides the ones hosted on Solaced)
– all medialinks in the Media-Tour pages are dead as well
– I’m currently searching hard for a different solution. Any suggestions about how to get the multimedia archive up and driving again are welcome! I can’t store all the files here on Solaced, since they’re all together something like 5GB and I can’t afford that at my hosting company.

Well, as you can see, not very very bad news – it just kinda sucks. Oh well.
