Leider scheint dieser Song nicht auf dem Album zu erscheinen.

– David says he is having a great day at Osheaga because he saw Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros (a band he wanted to see for a long time because a friend of him plays in the band).

– He explains that he came to see Cage The Elephant, but the band didn’t came because their bus driver couldn’t cross the border (apparently because of a drug affair or a criminal record). Then he jokes saying that Simple Plan hire good bus drivers, and for them a tourbus is like their own home, so people are allowed to take drugs but not in the bus.

– The interviewer notices the funny situation that the Cage The Elephant’s show is cancelled while Simple Plan had to cancel their show in China, and she asks (kidding) who had troubles at the border there. David answers that it wasn’t because of the border but because of “Mother Nature which decided to start crying, make flash of lighting and thunder” and it was too dangerous for them to play in these conditions. But he says that the band wanted to play for the fans: they did a real acoustic show with no microphone, just guitars and then a megaphone and they moved around between each songs in order to be close to the crowd. He explains that most of the people there went away when they heard that the show will be cancelled but some other stayed and he says that these fans are “super hardcore” fans.

– He also talks about the album, saying that they are going to start the drums, then the rest during August, after their last show in Levis. The album is going to be a good continuity for them, with a new producer (Brian Howes). The interviewer asks about the duo with Rivers Cuomo, from Weezer; David says that it is already done, it is a co-writing work with him for a good song which is going to be recorded.

– David is “very, very, very excited to see Arcade Fire” on stage. He bought the vinyl of their new CD because it released before the proper CD. Then he talks about vinyls, he likes to listen to music on them. He even has the last record of Simple Plan on vinyl that he bought in the USA where it was released in several colours as a collector item. “It’s cool to have your own band on a vinyl”.

– The last book he read: it’s rare when David reads, but the book was The Perfum, by Patrick Suskind, a long time ago. [Patrick comes and says David can’t read and explains him that a real book is a book with words and not only a book where there are images open out from it]

– The last movie: The Green Zone (that he liked) and the Millennium saga (that he loved), during the 15 hours flight to China. Moreover he thinks that the American adaptation of the Millennium saga is a big mistake and a bad idea because it will be hard another Lisbeth Salender as good as the original one.

– Best summer song: Caesar, by I Blame Coco, featuring the singer Robyn on the chorus.

– With who he would like to collaborate: with Robyn as female singer, or Weezer. Since it is happening he says that it is kind of a dream coming true for them.

A few days away
Current mood: amused
I had a longer rant to write… Sometimes 140 characters is just not enough.

We are just a few days away from bed tracks tracking. Chuck got done with his drums and we will start the rest next Monday, after the show in Levis QC. I’m not gonna lie to you, we’ve been writing for a little while now and we felt like the studio was gonna be next month, 6 months ago. But it’s here, we’ve started, and Jeff, David, Pierre and I are up next. Chuck killed it in Vancouver. That where the producer is from and he really wanted to do drums at his studio.

Anyhoo, i can tell you that now that we will all be together, there will be a lot more Vlog filmed by Seb and edited by Pierre. I have this nifty little camera… Not DVD quality, but pretty awesome. Remember that China Vlog? Yeah!

So, take care and keep on checking Twitter for fun facts.
