I have no idea how to capture the video. I've never successfully capped a live stream. Audio however...

[xjsb125]

Well Jonny, you only missed one song. :/

[xjsb125]

Swing by the downloads page (clusmymonkey.net/downloads/) and you can grab a nice mp3 of Starseed from the stream tonight.

I just listened to the unreleased song "Tales from a Grocery List" for the first time in forever, and man is it good!

Raine's falsetto is amazing! I really wish they would've released it, or would release it now!

[code][/code]Olp just posted a video on insta and I think the song is the beginning of stop making stupid people famous?

[xjsb125]

Looks like they brought the new song back out last night in Michigan. It's updated from when they debuted it, and sounds a lot more interesting now, and Jason even gets in on some backing vocals. Here's a video someone posted of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjVcxCwGTbg

I like it a lot more now. I actually can't wait for the studio now.

Check out Raines last Insta post, sounds like spiritual machines will be an influence on the new music coming! Great news

[xjsb125]

I think that's reading into it a little bit much, but it's still nice to know that ideas are churning.

Check out Raines IG story he is playing a new OLP song that they are finishing

[dumbandjaded13]

I heard it, wish I'd tried to record it. Definitely a different guitar sound and general feeling than their last couple of albums.

[Trustworthy]

oh hey

[Flynner]

I recorded it if anyone wants to hear it. I like it sounds cool...and hey Trusty! Something coming soon?

[xjsb125]

Looks like last year's Summersault concert video will be on OLP's YouTube channel on Thursday April 16th at 4PM EST. Rich (Trustworthy) has worked tirelessly on this for months in between all his other music video gigs and world travels. It should be great!

[astute_99]

Great news! Hi Trusty! We've had some awesome people capturing concerts over the years, but you know if Rich is involved with production that it's going to be something special. I really can't wait.

I also wonder if this is planned forward momentum by the band towards an album release this year, or if they're just bored with quarantine like all of us and decided the timing was right to release this and it's not really a harbinger of new material... thoughts anybody?

Rich has been working at this for a while. I feel like this project was more destined for release than anything else that has been filmed in the last decade. As for new material being released this year...wouldn't hold my breath. Getting wound up for a new release isn't something I would recommend until the band says here's the name of the album and here is where you can pre-order it. we've had 3-5 year gaps in between releases for a long time, and I don't think this will be any different. As for the Summersault video, I'm hyped for it!

I'm pumped as hell for Summersault release in fact tonight (European Time is night) I'll enjoy while having dinner

As for concert releases I'm still disappointed with the band that never released Clumsy / Spiritual Machine 2010, it's such a waste of probably really amazing material, but hey I'm still hoping.

For new music...well Somethingness is pretty recent so as everyone said I won't hold my breath...as for logistics, well I guess that if they want they can....Alter Bridge (one of my favorites bands) recorded his last album without being in the studio together (that is quite sad for me for a band but that's another story) and it was actually good (not their best but good).

I mean quarantine can be boring, but it happened in an era where basically with technology we can overcome almost everything...for example I didn't stop working cause as software developer I can do my job from home despite I work for a company....and I guess that recording an album is definitely something achievable, but we know OLP, and also I really can't complain if Raine enjoys more time with his kids than recording another album or songs or whatever during the day
