I remember I downloaded that satellite doohickey when it came out. I for the life of me, cannot remember what it's intended purpose was for.

It was supposed to keep us updated on OLP news, but they only updated it like... 4 times ever. :lol:

Though it was how some video footage from a few concerts I went to got out to us, so I still love it anyway.

I never knew of such video footage! OLP FAIL!

Soup or Salad Night

I read the menu
I tried the lamb
but I'm eating seafood now because it's much more filling

I know I'm a vegetarian and all, but isn't lamb more filling than seafood?

i wrap my lamb in lobsters then deep fry it and put it in a double stuff burrito with gravy on it.

That sounds like the perfect recipe for an MI right there.

Lamb is more filling... but if you knew the rest of the song, you'd see how the seafood thing fits in..

"convinced now that this crab is blue. But its red, its red its red"

Trustworthy's recipe is sweet. It's what I order on top of my ice cream at Mc Donald's.

Full circle: a theme that eagerly resonates with each member of multiplatinum survivors, Our Lady Peace. As the band approaches the release of their seventh studio album, a feeling of renewal and excitement washes over Toronto’s favorite sons in a manner not felt since their earliest days.

Self-produced in lead singer Raine Maida’s Los Angeles home studio, the 10-track Burn Burn (in stores July 21), marks the longest period between studio albums for Our Lady Peace. It also signifies a sonic and philosophical rebirth. The band now enjoys a creative and professional freedom that they haven’t experienced since the release of their now classic debut. “I think about the way we made Naveed,” Maida recalls. “We were just starting, we knew nothing about the business and we had no expectations. It was four guys in a room just trusting their instincts. We went back to that. ‘Liberating’ doesn’t really even sum it up.”

Burn Burn is a triumphant return to what Maida terms “a proper, mature rock album,” steeped in the kind of raw intensity that drove their early material. Blinding rays of anthemic light make way to the tender poise and precision of a band that was looking for a way out and found a satisfying new way in.

With caution thrown to the wind, tracks such as the stunningly arranged “Dreamland” and the overpowering first single, “All You Did Was Save My Life,” soar above angry clouds of confusion and insecurity with an ascending clarity that can only come from experience and growth.

The pounding affirmation of “The Right Stuff” and the vigilant build of band favorite “Refuge,” also reinforce the notion that OLP now occupy a unique and enviable mindspace. “We’re not looking back with any kind of regret,” Maida points out, “but we’ve been doing this long enough now that we know what we want to say. We didn’t want to compromise a thing.”

Having scattered in different directions after the release of 2005’s Healthy In Paranoid Times, all four members took on projects of their own, ranging from solo records, production and songwriting work, tours and guest performances. Over the last two years, Raine Maida, guitarist Steve Mazur, bassist Duncan Coutts and drummer Jeremy Taggart sporadically reconvened and lived at Madia’s home, creating what he calls their best effort to date.

Members would leave each session without tapes, giving themselves a much fresher perspective on the material they created when they returned. Producing themselves and an adherence to rolling tape off the floor gave birth to an urgent, natural body of work. “We didn’t put a lot of pressure on ourselves,” Coutts confirms. “We left things alone and haven't done that in a long time."

“For us,” adds Maida, “a big part of this band is playing live. It has to be something that we’re going to enjoy; a real dynamic collection of songs. When we really started to understand that, the record took on this whole other life.”

This work ethic allowed room for guitarist Steve Mazur, who joined the band in 2002, to blossom on Burn Burn. “On this album I really felt comfortable with my role and what I sound like as the guitarist of Our Lady Peace.” Mazur shines on tracks such as “Escape Artist” and “Paper Moon,” a song where Mazur’s solowork was nailed on the first go-round.

Our Lady Peace is also striking out on their own professionally this time around, opting for what the band terms a “true partnership” with both North American record labels. “We’ve never been this prepared for an album,” adds OLP founding member Jeremy Taggart. “In the past, we’ve never had the foresight to have maybe two or three singles in the can already with videos, etc.”

“Nobody knows us better than ourselves,” Taggart continues. “We didn’t over think a good song or idea or under think anything. The good songs really picked themselves.”

Interesting interview. Although I question Jeremy's closing line.

MindsOnLoan · Post by **MindsOnLoan** » 5/16/2009, 4:23 pm

As do I. If songs picked themselves, we would be listening to Vampires on HIPT.

So for someone who wants the Vampires demo but has a router type that does not allow access to the Hub...how would they go about getting it?

Can't wait to hear this, I really want to see what Steve can do.

Same. I'm quite excited for this album.

I'm not sure what you mean... even if you have a firewall, you can still get on the hub in passive mode and connect to those of us who are active.

RileyLewis · Post by **RileyLewis** » 5/17/2009, 12:15 am

The firewall is not the issue. It has something to do with the NAT. In any case, I looked it up and found other people who have had the same problem. In any case, I've looked it up and only a new router would fix it, but with the massive network we've got set up here we can't really replace it easily.
