OLP In The Mall

thirdhour · Post by **thirdhour** » 9/1/2003, 4:12 pm

I heard life yesterday on the radio. first time in a while. i think thats the only pre-gravity song ive ever heard on the radio. though i have this wierd memory of singing along to one man army in the car a long time ago, so i guess they played that too...

I heard Theif in a mall when I was just getting into OLP, and when I realized what it was I was pretty pleased. I've also heard The Wonderful Future in a Pet Value and Somewhere Out There at a glow-in-the-dark mini golf place(That made my day).

I have only heard OLP on the radio twice, and it was Somewhere Out There each time.

I work at the Crayola Store in Easton, PA, and my friend and I (both OLP nuts), occasionally try to sneak one of their albums over the stereo system in there. We have to watch though, because 3 of the 4 managers will remove it for not being kiddy enough and we'll get in trouble

I am not a big fan of constantly happy cheerleading preppy ppl sorry to anyone i just insulted but as I walking through a mall near the pittsburgh area i heard SOT in an Abercrombie & Fitch store.... seriously they need to be played in Best Buy or FYE, not A & F. That really scared me after just hearing them on Pittsburgh's Rock/ Metal station.... :freak:

I've heard them a while ago on the radio, mostly Is Anybody Home? That was a kind of big song in the Philly area. I've heard Somewhere Out There a lot on the radio, especially when Gravity was just released. I was playing Halo with some people on my floor that I didn't really know and they had some music playing in the background, and I heard the intro drum track to Innocent, but wasn't sure if it was it...when Raine came in I was happy to know there's another OLP fan on my floor

I heard OLP the other day in some store playing the radio and got all excited. Then I realized it was innocent and was dissappointed.

On the plus side I found a copy of Clumsy second hand for $9 that had been played once. It was sweet. (my old one was scratched)

That was an OLP-filled day.

When I went to the Red River Exhibition in grade 8, the guy operating the rotating swings was playing a bunch of stuff from Clumsy, I think. My friend, who knew more about OLP at that time than me :freak:

, was like "Richele, they're playing OLP!" and I was like "Holy crap, that's frickin' awesome!" and I started singing along on the swings and such. At that time, I was pretty OLP illiterate.

I recall people giving me funny looks. :lol:

Was it? I know some songs from Clumsy got played a few times back in the day, and I heard "Life" on the radio a few times when that was out... and, of course, "Somewhere Out There" and "Innocent"... I'm trying to think if I remember ever hearing IAH on the radio, though... I'm assuming you're talking about Y100? I know there's a few djs there who love OLP... in fact, I remember one of them saying that OLP's their favorite band, I think.

uugh

Yeah, Nikki, I heard it on Y100 I'm sure. It was also on the Y100 sonic sessions...4? I think. It's a pretty good live version. I don't remember Innocent on the radio though...

My radio station keeps playing Right Behind You and plays Clumsy often. And I recently heard Story About a Girl in a Pizza Hut at my friend's surprise party. :thumbs:

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if it got played on Y100 a bunch... that's awesome. I love that station. Well... sometimes. :lol:

They go through good and crappy periods. :lol:

But, anyway, yeah, it's on Sonic Sessions Volume 4 (good guess!)... I've got all of those things... good discs. :thumbs:

Why thank you! When he said that, I thought it was one of the funniest observations I've ever heard. :lol:

i'm in charge of music at my school- we play songs in between classes. I always try to get some OLP in for good measure so yesterday I played Are You Sad? and Superman's Dead from the live album and everyone loved it- I had tons of people coming up to me- asking if that was available to buy... :lol:

It's fun promoting OLP! :nod:

That has now changed for both of us! :mrgreen:

(Well, it changed for me when I bought HIPT on it's release date at Tower Records... but I think they always play all the new releases the day they come out so that wasn't really anything random or exciting. :lol:

Well, it was... but still...)

Anyway... we went to the mall today, walked into the juniors section of Strawbridges (department store)... and a few seconds later, I hear the drum beats to "Innocent" and just look at Melissa and say (quite loudly :lol:

) "NO WAY.

"

That totally made my day.
