i have to say, the highlight of this song is the violin, or whatever that instrument is. kinda reminds me of firefly.

He played it at Massey in February during Chantal's concert. Did a whole set. It was really awesome.

Really sounds different than the stuff off his EP.

Sounds more like it should either be sung by a woman and be softer or on the oppsite side of the sprectrum more of a harder rap/hip-hop version.

Does really grab me like his other stuff.

The only problem I have is the sound.. A little static for me. .I really like the song. Catchy to me..

He wanted to play Toronto. I think mid- Oct is when they were shooting for. This is not confrimed yet.. I think within the next two weeks the shows he is doing will be announced..

I need to go to this site more often! I can't believe I hadn't heard this song yet!

That said...while I dig the rap part, the chorus makes me cringe. Especially the "wise up, wise up" part. :no:

That part is too radio friendly - it sounds a bit juvenile. I forget how this sounded when I saw Raine at the Chantal concert back in February but I'm hoping the sound has changed a bit since then.

I like the wise up part
I thought he was saying rise though.

I'm liking Raine's solo material so far. Hopefully, he will actually come to the UK to promote this album. Extremely unlikely though.

Cool. If you or someone else in the Toronto area can record the FM broadcast to an audio tape that'd be great! I'm sure someone will rip the online stream, but the quality of that is never as good as the actual radio broadcast.

i really need to download this song.. but i dont feel like using more of the cms bandwith.. and i appear to have lost the hub :O

There's actually plenty of bandwidth, Sand. The unused bandwidth rolls over from month to month, and we never ever max out.

15 minutes till Raines on the Radio

neoncrossing · Post by **neoncrossing** » 9/24/2007, 2:16 pm

woo...he should be on any second now

neoncrossing · Post by **neoncrossing** » 9/24/2007, 2:39 pm

alright...so the interview is over...here is the meat and potatoes of it:

bookie just asked him about his music and his inspiration and that kinda stuff...then they played "yellow brick road" and "the less i know"

both are really good songs in my opinion

Really didn't have too much to say just wanted to get word out about his Solo album 'Hunter Lullabye' comming out Nov. 12

He talked a bit about the making of the records and said that the lyrical beat / slant poetry style was refreshing to record.

He mentioned that with this style he would come up with beats and rythms first then put words to it instead of the opposite with the rock song writing/recording. Also much less vocal tracking for this record.

Bookie (Edge DJ) touch on the activism side of things. Raine mentioned that he was more of a "Monday Morning Activist" and that there are some individuals out there that live and breathe this stuff everyday of their lives.

As for OLP Raine mentioned that it's still all happening. They've been getting together once in awhile to write but keeping it casual and low key.
