WWE Raw has announced that Kane will challenge the World Heavy Champion, Chris Benoit for his title at the pay-per view event, Bad Blood on June 13th in Columbus, Ohio. This means that Benoit's entrance theme "Whatever" by OLP and Kane's entrance theme "Slow Chemical" by F11 will  be played.  Both bands are from Canada which is pretty cool too! ;-) Thanks to Tim for bringing this to our attention.

Most of you already know that Raine and Chantal's baby boy's name is Rowan. What a fellow fan has found interesting about the child's name is that if you rearrange the letters R and N and then put in a space, it spells "No War."  The fact that both Raine and Chantal are big supporters of the whole 'No War' campaign makes you wonder if this was a premeditated decision on choosing that name.  Thanks to Anthony for passing this along to us.

Top 951 Songs of All Time.  Our Lady Peace is #130 with Clumsy, #209 with Superman's Dead, #614 with Automatic Flowers, #672 with Starseed and #835 with Naveed.  Thanks to Matt for the heads up.

An OLP Spiritual  Machines poster was spotted in a recent episode of Degrassi:  The Next Generation.  Thanks to Caitlin for making us aware of this.

Many have written confirming the Wal-Mart message board with Our Lady Peace  - June on it.  In fact, HMV, in Exeter, England had a huge poster with the Gravity promotional shot and it said, "NEW Our Lady Peace album out June (tbc)" and had a quote from Jeremy from the "Glass Eye" interview where Jeremy talks about this new album being his best so far.  Despite all of these confirmations, it is now June,  nothing has officially been released and there have been conflicting stories about what the release date will be, so it is very, very unlikely that the CD will be released before later this year or even next year.  Let's hope it is sooner than later. Thanks to Nick, Chris, Lucy, Brandon, Robyn and Rob for taking the time to email us regarding this. Special thanks to Rob for the shot of the message board.

In one of the major newspapers in Australia, The Sunday Telegraph, there was an interview with Avril Lavigne in the May 30th edition. The article talks about her new album and it says,  "The project began shortly after Lavigne's tour ended, when she had lunch with another Canadian singer/songwriter, Chantal Kreviazuk. The two began writing, and pretty soon Kreviazuk's husband, Raine Maida, lead singer and song writer of Our Lady Peace, got involved." Later in the article it mentions she sought production help from Maida. And the last bit mentioning them is " I did the moodier songs with Raine and Chantal first, because those kind of songs didn't make it on the album last time."  This is the first time that Thomas noticed mention of OLP in the Sunday paper and he has been a fan since Naveed. Thanks to Thomas for the update.

On June 1, VH1's Driven: Avril Lavigne, there was a 2-second clip of Raine commenting on her stardom. Thanks to Emily for the update.

May 19, 2004 (Later Morning)

We are sad to report that according to Canoe, Elvin Jones, a renowned jazz drummer and member of John Coltrane's Quartet, passed away this Tuesday at the age of 76. He was definitely a huge influence to Jeremy and he even made a guest appearance on "Stealing Babies" which is the last song on  OLP's "Happiness.." CD. Thanks to those of you who emailed and made us aware of this.

Here are some quotes gathered from different articles on Jeremy about his thoughts on Elvin Jones:

"He’s a true genius," says Taggart. "There aren’t that many people on this earth who’ve been on such a crest of music. He was part of one of the most important things that’s happened in the last 50 years of music. And he’s so humble about it." (Taken from Alternative Press article, "Pieces of Fate" by Phil Freeman).

"I don't get nervous much in my life. I wasn't when I met Robert Plant, or Jimmy Page, even when Ed and Alex Van Halen greeted me on the first day of our tour together, I didn't break a sweat. But when I met Elvin Jones [legendary 73-year-old jazz drummer], I felt like I was on a first date. I just wanted to make some impression, let him know I wasn't just some kid who dug his stuff ‹ that sometimes I pretended to be him, or play like him." (Taken from Chartattack interview, "Jeremy Taggart interviewing Eugene Levy."

"I'd been hearing this guy's playing from the cradle," Jeremy recalls. "My dad would play all these great records of his while I was growing up. I never thought I'd be able to call this guy my friend. Having him appear on our album was a dream come true for me." (Taken from Woodstock.com article).

"When you meet Elvin Jones, the baddest--motherf***er ever to play drums--hang out with him, trade up Richard Pryrer and Redd Foxx jokes until the room is silent from everyone rolling around laughing, you have to take a minute to thank the script writer for writing you into a couple scenes...because it felt like I was in some crazy movie, with God's drummer!" (Taken from April 2004 issue of Chart Magazine when Jeremy was featured on a page called Canadian Idols (various rock stars with their idols). There's a picture of him with Elvin Jones with the above quote).

Read another article from Rolling Stone about Raine's involvement on Avril's upcoming CD, "Under My Skin."  Thanks to Lisa and Johnny for sending in the link.

According to an article in the Winnipeg Free Press, Raine Maida will be in Winnipeg, MB on May 20 to attend a special luncheon to raise awareness about the city's destitute. His wife, Chantal Kreviazuk and son, Rowan Michael K. Maida will also be in attendance. This is another example of how caring and involved Raine is. Thanks to Aynisha for making us aware of this.

Check out a site from the UK called spiritualmachines.net.  Currently, only the forum is up but Chris is working on the rest of the site and hopes to have it all on the net soon. Thanks to Chris for sharing his site with us.

In the April Issue of  Chart magazine, Jeremy is featured on a page called Canadian Idols (various rock stars with their idols). There's a picture of him with Elvin Jones with the following quote underneath: "When you meet Elvin Jones, the baddest--motherf***er ever to play drums--hang out with him, trade up Richard Pyror and Redd Foxx jokes until the room is silent from everyone rolling around laughing, you have to take a minute to thank the script writer for writing you into a couple scenes...because it felt like I was in some crazy movie, with God's drummer!" ----Jeremy Taggart, Our Lady Peace. Thanks to Jen and Robyn for sending this our way.

In October of 2002, a band called Fingertight toured with OLP.  Now they have released a CD and OLP is thanked in the credits.  Thanks to Danielle for the heads up.
