More talking about Hunter Lullaby
Sounding a lot like the previous interview so far.

I'll finish listening to it all and post again if there's anything ground breaking.

Yeah, he's just released the Hunter's album in the US, so I'm not surprised that it would be mostly about that.

Not many Americans have even heard about OLP anyway, I mean they've probably heard their songs, but without knowing it.

I didn't listen to it yet, I'm at work, but if anyone listens and hears any new OLP news, please post here.

I dunno. I bet there's at least a good amount of people who've seen that ad for that compilation album on TV that has SOT on it.

Heh.

I'm in NY so a lot of people here know who they are because of our proximity to Canada.

Also nikki, Clumsy is advertized for the second edition of it... I saw the ad a few weeks ago.

And as far as OLP not getting played in the US, I'm sure some of their past hits were occationally played around the time of their release, but get virtually no play now.

Ha. Just heard the interview. Raine's so right about the South Park/culture thing.

Is it just me or does it seem that with every interview Raine does, the interviewer is always saying that HIPT was "amazing" and "their best album by far"?

All this even after that Gazette interview where Raine said, quote, "that record was bullshit in the sense that we had finally succumb to a label".

I don't know... HIPT had good potential and the lyrics were strong, but I just CAN'T get into the songs...they don't have that special thing about them that all the previous albums had (even Gravity).

Anyway,

</rant>

That was the interviewer's clumsy attempt at fellating Raine's ego.
