Fair warning, this is about 2.5 hours long. However, it is a great abridged version of Mike's life and his times with OLP, Fair Ground, Crash Karma, as well as his endeavors at Pocket Studios, and his current role in mixing live recordings.

Thanks xjsb. I watched the entire thing. THAT. WAS. AMAZING. First off, great to hear from Mike again, but also I think that’s required viewing for any OLP die-hard. He gave so much more detail to things I believe we only had the Cliff’s notes on or had no idea about before.
Random things I liked that he talked about : how he developed his unique style of guitar playing (and how he was using delays like the Edge of U2 fame before Arnold Lanni stopped him lol), the process of recording Naveed and why certain lineup changes happened, Raine’s real-estate dad (lol), how they were all super unsatisfied with Clumsy before it came out, how thrown together the Woodstock show was (makes a lot of sense in retrospect), the recording philosophies of Arnold Lanni and how it influenced him, his (positive) experiences with Bob Rock, the reasons that led to his break with the band, as well as his experiences in engineering / Fair Ground / Crash Karma afterwards. Also was super nice to hear how he’s reconnected with all his former band mates especially in recent times.
