Our Simple Plan boys are still in the studio in Vancouver, Canada, recording album #4 (yet untitled – but as we know SP, they will come up with the title minutes before the deadline). So let’s take some time to recap what’s been going on in the past few days:

The guys have already completed two songs from the upcoming album – that means (about) 10 songs to go – even though some of them are partially recorded already. As I have mentioned in the last post, one of the 60 songs that the guys wrote for the new album, leaked online yesterday as a demo version – the song is called “Famous For Nothing” (the song-title has been a general knowledge for a couple of months now, though). Famous For Nothing is about the so-called “celebrities”, who can’t really do anything are literally are just famous for nothing at all (Chuck confessed to be inspired by the stars of shows like “Jersey Shore” or “The Hills”).

Ever since being leaked, “Famous For Nothing” elicited very diverse reactions among the fans: of course there were those who didn’t like the song very much, but there were also fans who loved it. Important message to all of the fans from the SP guys is though that the song will NOT make it to the album – according to Pierre we should be looking forward to much better songs!

Aaaand speaking of very important news… here are some not so important, but definitely interesting (for some) ones: the guys celebrated Chuck’s birthday the day before (casue during his birthday they were locked in the studio working their butts off) in the Goldfish restaurant in Vancouver, Jeff started practising yoga and Sebastien loves the new Weezer record – Hurley – and also wrote another song along with his friend/musician Katie Rox.

And in my opinion it would not be a proper “recap of the last few days” if it didn’t include a gallery update. So, make sure to head over to the SimplePlan.cz gallery to check out the new photos from the studio, and then also thanks to CSP.com pictures from one party from this year, where you can spot Pierre with his friends, then also photos from the band’s afterparty from back in 2008 and last but not the least the pool party pictures from (what i believe it’s) the year 2008, which so far have been seen only very hugely tagged:

Perez Hilton, the famous gossip blogger leaked a demo version of a new Simple Plan song on his website. The song is called “Famous For Nothing”!

Check it out here:

The bad news is, though, that according to Jeff, who responded to this leak in one of his recent tweets, this song will not make the new record. No explanaition was said, but at least you can check out what the new Simple Plan’s album should sound like. It’s pretty dope, isn’t it?

And thanks to Nath, here are already the lyrics for “Famous For Nothing” (they are also available under “B-sides” in the Lyrics center too):

Sebastien posted on his MySpace a snippet of the songs that are going to be featured on his next – second EP (the first one was called “You Are Here / Vous Etes Ici”). So far, most of the released songs were promoted under the cover art you can see in the left corner and under the title “Et Les Robots”, which may be the title of the new EP.

The sneak peaks from the new EP in the form of a 5-minutes-long audio can be found here.

By the way, thank to Vero for letting us know about the first photos of Simple Plan from the Two Days A Week Festival:

Thanks to Pierre’s editing skills, here is a brand new vlog from Simple Plan’s recording studio. This time, Chuck is also present and he will once again give you a little tour of the studio. Also, you will be able for the first time hear some sneak peaks of the song “This Song Saved My Life“, which Simple Plan based on their fans’ experience with Simple Plan’s songs:

As you already know, yesterday Patrick Langlois dropped-by in the studio, where Simple Plan are currently recording their new album and shot there a short video for MusiquePlus. The video includes the recording of the song “You Suck At Love” and you can check it out right here (please excuse the quality of the video, we have to wait a little while till it appears on the MP website in HQ):

It’s been already few months since we’ve informed you about the title of a new song “Astronaut”, that might be among the songs on the upcoming Simple Plan record. The guys worked on this song with Julian Emery (british producer and song-writer, known for his collaboration with McFly) and Jim Irvin, who worked for example with Davidem Guetta.

Pierre anounced in his recent tweet:

“Working on a song called “Astronaut” that fans will L-O-V-E!!!!!”

Chuck also said that Astronaut is probably one of his favourite songs they have ever wrote. It seems like we have something to look forward to!

To summarize, as of now we have 3 songs for the new album officially confirmed by the band: Astronaut, You Suck At Love (which we already got to hear) and This Song Saved My Life (which is about SP fans).

By the way, check out these new photos in our gallery, which the guys posted on Twitter. The first two pictures are photos of polaroids that Jeff recently found at home, where you can see two outtakes from a photoshoot from 2003 and on the third picture you can spot Pierre and his cup of coffee:
