The singer-songwriter brought her unique musical style - equal parts tragic piano and bouncing cabaret - back into the studio for her 2004 release, Day One, throwing in some rhythm and electronic touches. The result? A couple of Juno nominations for the pop pixie. Day One is up for Adult Alternative Album Of The Year, while two who worked behind the scenes on the album, Peter Prilesnik and Eric Ratz, were nominated for Recording Engineer Of The Year. ChartAttack had a chance to chat with Sarah Monday at the Juno Nominees press conference in Toronto. ChartAttack: Were sick of this whole "Canadian modesty" thing - can you give us some blatant self-promotion to justify your nomination? Sarah Slean: Uhhh you are a cruel man. No I cant. I cant! Ive done my best to be an American, I went to L.A., I lived there for a month - cant do it. It just doesnt come naturally. I think theres something in the water that makes us moral. Theres all these sexy duets at American awards shows (with Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony coming up for the Grammys), so who would you like to do a sexed-up duet with at the Junos? Ooooh, thats a great question. Sexy duets, hmm. Id really have to think about that. I would love to sing with K-OS. I would love to sing with Matt Mays and I would do a song, that would be good. If you win, do you actually have a mantle to put the award on? No, I would be putting it in my suitcase. Thats where I live. I dont have a home right now, its very sad. They should make a key chain variety, dontcha think? Thats what Canadian artists need. Anne Murray is like the Juno Queen, shes got 24 of them, eclipsing everyone else - so name one activity where you know you could kick her ass. Shooting tequila. If you win, what are you gonna do to celebrate? If I win, I think to celebrate I might go somewhere really warm, take my little toy guitar and be on a beach for a couple of days. Do you watch the Junos when youre not a nominee? Yes I do! I get all excited too, and I go "Come on!" and I cheer at the TV screen. Its pretty sad. The Junos are on a Sunday - honestly now, are you going to tape Desperate Housewives? Ha ha! No. I told you I dont live anywhere, I dont have a television. Its bad for you, its poisonous. - -David McDougall ------------------------------ End of navy-soup-digest V8 #6 *****************************
