40.
artist:our lady peace
album:live
our lady peace were huge in the 90's right? i liked their stuff enough, but never really got it. i still picked this album up one night while out because i liked enough of their singles to know that id at least appreciate the live album, even if i would probably never bother with any of their actual records.
i think, though, that with this listen of the live album, i actually finally *got* OLP. it just kind of clicked for me. going through this CD, i realized, once again, that i know a lot more of the songs on here than just the two that i thought i did, and that i liked every one of them. the songs resonated with me this time in a way that just seemed to pass right over me on every other previous listen ever.
i haven't listened to this CD in a few years. i did, however, take a road trip recently, and clumsy was on one of the mix-Cd's i pulled out to listen to on the long trip. that song takes me back to drama club senior year. Jen Edwards (now Owens) had this CD and played the shit out of this song in the dressing room, but everyone seemed to be okay with that. i can picture standing in the art room listening to this song and getting psyched for the show that we were about to perform. (in retrospect, this song may not have been the best pre-game warm up out there, but it is what it is.)
at some point, after this project is all said and done, id like to take some time to revisit OLP's discography, and see what I've been missing out on all these years. I'm a sucker for 90's alt rock, and i love college-rock more than id care to admit, so i don't know why i never really paid attention to this band until right now.
