Methinks you are referring to the first writing sessions video.
Check out the first recording sessions video.
Nah, the recording sessions video is the one I was viewing.
The last 8 seconds is without question a recording of a demo/song, but it's still a generic riff with a few layers over it. It's all still generic, and it's hard to get any sort of vibe out of the song.
When I say generic, I don't mean bad, but it's just three chords that people are hearing.

In less than an hour we get to find out what "Stitches" is 

“Music doesn’t have the power to change the world. What music does is it changes people, & that changes the world, so to say that music doesn’t change people anymore is just ridiculous. It does everyday. It doesn’t have to be on a political or social level. You could be feeling shitty & it makes you happy & if that’s all it does, it’s changing the world. It’s making it a better place.” ~ Raine Maida

LAME! This would be nice if I didn't already own half the stuff on the site. Fail.

It is great for the HOODIES> Those suckers were $50.00
Too bad the band did not make alot of the Black Books from the C/SM tour. People wanted those and I think they were sold out before they got to Victoria..
Oh and T.W some people celebrate
HanuKkah( Dec 1st this year)

I think they only sold out on the last night of the tour. They had them on the 1st night in Victoria, and probably 2nd night too but when I went after the show they were all gone. Wonder if maybe they were a marked down price on the final night to avoid leftover inventory? Otherwise very impressive getting just the right number of copies to sell.
I'm actually pretty surprised there haven't been any of the books turning up on eBay. There have got to be a lot of people who got 2 - 4 copies from going to multiple shows or taking their significant other. I was sure eBay would be flooded with them for $5 - $10 each... but I suppose people who fall in that category could have given the extras to friends locally.

the tour books were a very limited run and that number was carefully calculated (some might say perfectly
)
they were part of the VIP packs and what was left of that run was sold at the merch table along with a specific merch run number - that last show they did sell out - and you can pretty much blame me because i had to take some merch ones over the course of the tour and put them in the VIP packs because:
1. four VIP pack ones were scuffed up by me opening them with a big giant sharp knife (see dressing room antics 1)
2. one vip pack had no book in it at all
3. 15 were pulled for band, crew, photographers and ME those last couple days of the tour before you guys could buy them all up
So if everything went to plan there would of been about 5 extra ones at the table that night.
Oops!

I'm not complaining, I was very much on the fence about whether or not to get one of the books. If I hadn't ended up with some Canadian cash that day I wouldn't have even checked the merch table. Just wasn't meant to be!
Instead, my wallet now contains 35 CAD, 140 Pesos, and 1 USD.

We're not as politically correct as you Americans are about that stuff. So what if a small amount of people (like 3%?) celebrate other holidays around Christmas.... we don't avoid talking about Halloween at Halloween just because some people might not celebrate it.
Anyway, nice bait and switch Trusty
