Next time you guys are working on an album out in LA, you should set up a residency at a small venue like Hotel Cafe to test the new songs, shouldn't you? Like Jeff Buckley's famed residency at Barrister's Bar while working on My Sweetheart the Drunk

Have any of you ever googled yourself to see what's out there or looked at your Wikipedia pages. I hope they're accurate!

The band has stated several times that prior to Burn Burn, the band has had to compromise their records in the studio (such as having to put songs they disliked on or a song not reaching it's full potential before it's release, due to time constraints). We know you guys dislike Hello Oskar, but what are some other songs from throughout the band's history that you dislike or wish you could have finished to your liking?
Seeming as the music scene has taken an obvious turn in the past decade or so, which current bands or artists give you a hope and reassure your faith in music?
What's the band stance on the internet downloading of music?
For example, Metallica sees it as theft. Dave Grohl sees it as a comliment and doesn't mind because he feels he owes too much to music to be greedy about piracy, torrents, etc.
Ok TW.. Since you said you wanted serious questons I am going to put all I want to know in one post..
For Steve, Previous tours you use to play with a Yamaha guitar. Notice recently you changed to Fenders & GIbsons. Is there a difference in sound and will you use the other one again. Also what advice would you give to a young guitarist starting out as best sounding guitar?
For Raine, Can you walk us through your song writing process. Do you write lyrics to music or have the music written around lyrics. Are there any techniques or tricks use to get ideas, thoughts out on paper when you get writer's block( I write and have problems at times putting the ideas to paper.) What was the hardest/most difficult OLP song to write and easiet song to write Where is the strangest or most uncommon place you ever laid down a vocal track. I have heard some interesting places with other singer so curious. .
For Duncan, Some years ago you sang lead on a few cover tunes. WOuld you ever consider singing lead or co-lead on an OLP song either on record or live? Think you have nice voice.
Thanks, Gail E

I've got another one. Forgive me if this one has already been asked.
What inspired you to become musicians? How did you know this is what you absolutely wanted to do? I'm curious because I know that Duncan and Raine have educational backgrounds in fields that aren't really music related.

“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

Another one along the lines of this one.
Are there any songs that have been written/recorded that you wish had been included on a record but did make it because the label disagreed?

Do You Guys hate Minnesota? You cancelled in 2005 and you haven't been here since 2002. I would much appreciate a stop here sometime. You also get Minnesota Wild Jerseys with your names on them if you perform in the Xcel Energy Center! Thanks.
