OLP's on another compilation you see advertised on cable channels. This time Starseed is on "The ALT Vault." The compilation also has a song from former touring musician Mike Eisenstein's band Letters to Cleo.

Heh, that was a pretty epic avoiding of the question when they asked him about the new OLP record.

Raine always does that at least once in an interview, completely disregards a question and just says whatever.

Don't forget mentioning trusting their instincts.. four guys in a room.. last album was a disaster/too many "toos", etc etc >_>

Although I guess we can also blame the interviewers all asking the same questions.

I hope that doesn't mean the OLP album will be delayed too much

Read this today. Raine and Chantal are taking part in a CD celebrating the music of the band called THE BAND..
From The Sadies' FB fan page news thinger:

35 Years After “The Last Waltz,” Garth Hudson Presents a Canadian Celebration of The Band! In Stores November 16, 2010

After 10 studio albums, inductions into the Grammy® Hall of Fame, JUNO Hall of Fame and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and 35 years after their epic farewell concert, “The Last Waltz,” The Band’s Garth Hudson (Keyboards and Saxophone) brings us Garth Hudson Presents A Canadian Celebration of The Band, with partial proceeds to support The Hospital for Sick Children. In this first ever solely Canadian recording of The Band’s songs, original band member Garth Hudson enlisted Canadian musicians Blue Rodeo, Bruce Cockburn, Great Big Sea, Chantal Kreviazuk, Raine Maida, Mary Margaret O’Hara, The Sadies and Neil Young, among others, to create this historic album. “It was very organic how the artists and songs matched up so perfectly. I had aural visions of how each song could be enhanced by the talent of each artist … each voice, instrument, and spirit.” – Garth Hudson

This is the first time any collection of The Band songs has been curated and produced by an original member of the group. Rarities beginning with The Basement Tapes on through latter-day albums Jericho and High on the Hog are again new. “These songs were among the most enjoyable to me while The Band was together because of the words, or the story, or humour … an example of all three is the reading of “Clothes Line Saga” written by Bob Dylan and sung by Margo Timmins with Cowboy Junkies. Each of these songs stands on its own, yet they mystically sequence together as a string of jewels.” – Garth Hudson Produced and performed by Garth Hudson with Grammy® award-winning co-producer and engineer Peter J. Moore at his side.

GARTH HUDSON plays keyboards on all tracks along with the following artists:

1. Forbidden Fruit – Danny Brooks & The Rockin’ Revelators

2. Out Of The Blue – Mary Margret O’Hara

3. Acadian Driftwood – Peter Katz & The Curious

4. This Wheel’s On Fire – Neil Young and The Sadies

5. Ain’t Got No Home – Suzie McNeil

6. Clothes Line Saga - Cowboy Junkies

7. You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere - Kevin Hearn & Thin Buckle

8. Sleeping - Bruce Cockburn & Blue Rodeo

9. Yazoo Street Scandal - The Road Hammers

10. The Moon Struck One – Raine Maida

11. The Shape I’m In - The Sadies

12. Tears Of Rage – Chantal Kreviazuk
13. I Loved You Too Much – Hawskley Workman

14. Knockin’ Lost John - Great Big Sea

15. King Harvest - Blue Rodeo

16. Move To Japan – The Trews

17. Genetic Method (Anew) – Garth Hudson

18. Chest Fever – Ian Thornley & Bruce Cockburn

Raine Maida commented: “It is an honour to be a part of this record. Garth is without question a living legend and the opportunity to record "Moon Struck One" live off the floor with an artist of his genius will be an experience I treasure always.”
The Band’s original ensemble consisted of Canadians Rick Danko, Garth Hudson, Richard Manuel, Robbie Robertson, and American Levon Helm from Arkansas. The Band began as The Hawks with Ronnie Hawkins, then Levon & The Hawks, and officially becoming The Band in 1968 and performing together until 1976 … with their last concert documented in the Martin Scorsese film “The Last Waltz.” They reunited from 1983-1999. The Band continues to be one of rock’s most influential and enduring groups. Now there are members who have passed and three founding members continue on with their individual lives and projects. Here is one project that is especially personal to one charter member … an intimate project Garth Hudson wanted to share with his country in an all-Canadian celebration of his life in The Band with the songs he enjoyed most.

Good find on the article Gail. I was wondering whatever came of that song. I thought maybe it had been forgotten about.

I have an MP3 of this if anyone needs it

OLPManiac · Post by **OLPManiac** » 11/3/2010, 4:38 am

Also I have got a mp3...Raine's performance in this song it's amazing...

Tattooed Angels · Post by **Tattooed Angels** » 11/4/2010, 3:50 pm

I just realized today that Raine uses that title( almost) as lyric on the last cd. "The Moon Strikes One" LOL.

Did some one say sing-a-long :dance:

It's a father's job to tell you that this world was not meant for you.
(man what a downer Raine). Let's change the sing along to something more postitive.

'In This Dreamland the kids are all right and the sky is blue" :love:

Much better.

I wonder how many times a polar bear can fold a piece of paper.
