This is a sad day.  Fabio has decided to take olponline down.  We have decided to dedicate today's news to him with the following message,

You've been a good friend and fellow webmaster.  Your site will surely be missed. It was obvious your heart was 100% into it and your original designs and content were evident throughout your site.  It seems easier for some these days to carbon copy content, and mask it with another design, and call it their own.  Or forget the whole intent is to spread the Peace, not compete with other fansites.  This is just poor etiquette, and justifies little praise.  But not Fabio, your ideas were yours, and your intent was to promote OLP to the world.  All this from someone with little contact from OLP in Brazil, makes it that much more amazing.  Long live the memory of olponline! 

September 28, 2001

Head over to Edge 102 and vote for OLP to win Casby awards in the following categories:

September 26, 2001

Even though the Street Team no longer exists, this doesn't mean that we should stop promoting and spreading the word of OLP.  Their latest single "Right Behind You" was released to radio stations since the beginning of August and the song still hasn't made it on Edge 102's New Rock 30 Countdown.  This means, OLP need your support.  We don't only want to get the song on the countdown, we want it to be #1.  This isn't going to happen if it isn't on the charts, so we all need to head over to The Edge and vote NOW!!!  Thanks to Nadia for bringing this to our attention.

September 24, 2001

Some of you may remember back in 1995 when OLP took home 3 CASBY (Canadian Artists Selected By You) Awards (Staged by CFNY 102.1 in Toronto) for Favourite new artist, new release and new song, both the latter being for "Naveed"  Well the CASBY awards are back and OLP might have a chance to win some more.  Starting this Thursday (Sept 27), you can get your ballot in NOW Magazine and online at The Edge.  Be sure to pick your faves and send them in. Then join The Edge for the big party, on Saturday December 8th at The Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto.

September 21, 2001

Thanks to Rob  for sending us this post from Jeremy Taggart (SE7enUp) that was made on the Clumsy Congress in the Anything OLP Topic:

Hello everyone. It's Jeremy

We are in some pretty wacky times here. Times that are new to everyone on the planet. This could possibly get very scary. So all I am asking of all of you folks to do is, hang on. As crazy as this war could get, it's easier to let go, and give up, forget that it's happening, or worse yet, try and forget what happened.

Try and figure out every little detail about this. How it could have happened. Why terrorists are trying to unravel western civilization. What will it take to solve this terrible conflict in the most humane way. Or, the most destructive way.

It's war again, just like those terrible stories we heard growing up. A long hard war. But now, there will be biological weapons, fancy macho missiles, A video game that we can't even imagine. But all too real.

We even had a big Hollywood movie of it, and the world still forgot about Pearl Harbor. I know, I didn't see it either.

The other thing about this is we can't forget to laugh. There's a reason that The Three Stooges were huge during the second world war. Also don't forget about Bob Hope, flying in and out of war torn countries, just to bring a smile to both the soldiers, and the people at homes faces.

We have too live life as usual, but we must keep our eyes and ears peeled, because this is going to make us grow up real quick folks.

Your pal,

Jeremy Taggart

Oh yeah, The show Glogson is talking about that Me, and Alex are working on is true. He'll keep you all posted on it.

September 18, 2001

The following is an important message about the OLP fan club that was posted on the Clumsy Congress board:

Dear Pied Pipers Union members,

Jeremy, Mike, Raine and I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that we are shutting down the P.P.U. The good news, however, is that we are working on a new way to continue our relationship in a manner that will not cost you a yearly fee.

We have been exploring different ways of communication through the internet that would still include mailings, but it is too premature to make any concrete promises.

This is an exciting time for us. We have been writing songs together and are looking forward to entering the studio in the near future.

We have completely appreciated your support over the years and look forward to continuing our relationship in the future.

Sincerely,

Duncan

Please note that current members will receive the following to fulfill their memberships:

If your membership expires between September 2001 and December 2001 - you will receive one more mailing.

September 17, 2001

Here is the band's statement about the US Disaster that was posted on the Clumsy Congress in the Thoughts and Prayers section by Mike (Emtee),

I'm sorry not to have responded to this tragedy sooner, but I feel at a loss for words. If I had the words to say that would offer the comfort needed now, I would say them. I feel anything I can say is small comfort and if there is any chance we can make sense of this, I hope it becomes clear soon.

The events of the 11th will never make sense, I only hope that our respose to them does. There is never a right time for revenge, only responsibility. The people who committed this act must be held accountable, not the religion they believe in or the race to whom they belong. We are all of one people, and I think that the best has been brought out in many so let us dwell on that fact rather than stare into the abyss.

Our hopes are with all of those suffering through this tragedy, the hope that they will get through whatever this has brought them. Our sympathies are with those that have sufferred loss and we share the joy and relief of  those that escaped loss. All of mankind has been diminished by this act.
During our career we have been lucky enough to get to know New York very well. The city, and indeed the world, will never be the same and for this loss we mourn, but if there is one place on earth that can survive this, it is New York.

Please try to keep a sense of balance during this time of trial, the balance between anger and reason. The anger is real and justified but keeping a sense of reason will be the testament to our generation. We must hold on to a belief that good will still prevail. Not a good based on politics or religion, but the good of all humanity. Let those you love know you love them and above all, keep caring about one another.

Mike, Raine, Duncan, Jeremy, and Jamie

September 16, 2001

We caught Jeremy Taggart's drum clinic yesterday at Soul Drums in Toronto.  He started off by capturing the audience with an improvisational masterpiece that showcased his vast influences and technical knowledge.  He then answered questions from the audience on everything from drums to the band's history.  Some important tidbits that may interest fans regarding the new CD were,

• they hope to release the live cd at the same time as the major release (possibly a double CD?)
• they appreciate all that Arnold Lanni has done, but want to try other producers.  Jeremy mentioned that 3 different producers may be used, we believe he mentioned the producers from The Flaming Lips, Aerosmith and Vancouver's own Bob Rock, who has produced such acts as Metallica.
• they are considering new sounds such as strings.

September 15, 2001

Stay tuned to Muchmusic for a possible repeat of Duncan and Raine's remarks about the U.S. tragedy on the weekend edition of Much News (half hour).  It will be aired Saturday at 8:00PM EST and Sunday at 4:00PM EST.  Thanks to Rob for the update.

September 13, 2001 (Evening)

This was passed on to us in an email and we felt we should pass it along to all of you:  As a sign of unity for our great nation, it is being asked that we light a candle or a light outside of our homes on Thursday, September 13 at 10:30pm EST. At this time, we should all come out and show our determination and unity through this painful time.  Please pass this message along to as many people as possible.

Another global candlelight vigil is being organized for Friday September 14, 2001.  According to George on Much News and the Moby site, this Friday at 7pm EST there will be a candlelight vigil as an expression of compassion and solidarity for the victims of this tragedy. Please just light a candle and step outside for a few minutes at 7pm EST this Friday.  Please pass this message on to as many people as you can

Thanks to Rob for forwarding us the following details about what was said during today's interview with Raine and Jeremy on 103.3 The Edge.  When asked what they did during their last 6 weeks off, Raine said, "we've been writing" and "we're gonna head out to L.A. in like 3 weeks and record some stuff."  Regarding the next album, Raine said "If you're creative.. we just want to put out stuff as quickly as possible so we'll probably record up to Christmas and hopefully have something out maybe in February." Then he was asked if they ever write something new, do it once and then forget and Raine said, "we used to do that and now we tape everything, every soundcheck is taped and that's what we're doing right now, just going through our soundcheck tapes."  From the sounds of it, we can expect a new CD from OLP as early as next year!!!

Hope this will eliminate any confusion!  The WWF Tough Enough Soundtrack, mentioned in our news yesterday for release on Oct 2, is not the one that OLP will be featured on.  If you visit the MTV website, you will see that the tracklisting doesn't include OLP. The Tough Enough soundtrack is just a companion CD to the TV show about amateur wrestlers trying to get a WWF contract.  The WWF album that OLP will be featured on is the Wrestler's theme CD.  This CD  is released every year or so and is normally called  "WWF The Music Volume __".  Since Volume 5 was just released in Feb 2001, it is likely that the next one featuring "Whatever" will not be out until Spring 2002. In addition, this one might not continue with the tradition of past WWF releases and may not be called "WWF The Music Volume 6." Thanks to Chris, Jonathan, Tyler and Mike for the heads up.

August 14, 2001

The WWF Tough Enough Soundtrack featuring OLP's "Whatever" will be available in stores Oct 2.  Thanks to Matt and Lila for the news.

August 9, 2001 (Evening)
This morning, Humble and Fred (now on Mojo 640) were talking about how both of them were bitten by Jeremy's dog on separate occasions.  Humble recalled that he felt very uncomfortable as he likes dogs, but didn't know how to react when Jeremy responded with, "He just does that when he is excited".  Humble mentioned he shouldn't be talking about Jeremy in case he heard the show, but then realized Jeremy sleeps until the afternoon most days.  Guess Humble forgot about all us fans!!  :-)

Some music related information mentioned on the same show was that the upcoming WWF CD that will include the new song Whatever was created because the usual music created for all the wrestlers was created by one person.  The WWF felt they needed to update their music and sound more modern.  They therefore gathered some great new artists to re-work existing theme songs of the wrestlers.  This is how Whatever was born.  Can't wait for the CD!

August 9, 2001 (Afternoon)

Despite rumours that OLP might be working on a black and white video that includes scenes from Raine's trip to the war zone, other sources have credited this as false.  After playing the newest single, Edge 102's DJ, The Brother, reported "I don't think there's plans for a video for "Right Behind You," just to let you know."  Please note, there has been no official word from Sony about this so this info may not be accurate. Thanks to Jeff and Rob for the news update.
