The Recording of Stolen Diamonds:
Filmed at Red Moon Studios, Gisborne, while The Cat Empire were recording their new album, The Recording of Stolen Diamonds Behind the Scenes series provides a unique insight into what goes on in studio when this unique band comes together to make new music. With thanks to Jan Skubiszewski & Billy the dog for letting the cameras in.
Stolen Diamonds is the seventh studio album from The Cat Empire. The band chose to record for the third time with friend and Producer Jan Skubiszewski, this time at Red Moon Studios in Gisbourne, in the country side outside of Melbourne.
Felix says this about the album:
“The band wanted to create an album full of songs that would translate directly onto an international festival stage. That’s really been the broad ambition of each album since Steal the Light. You could say that Steal the Light, Rising with the Sun, and Stolen Diamonds work as a trilogy - all produced with Jan, and all an integral part of our live sets around the world.
In terms of the production we weren’t afraid to add layers and experiment with sounds outside our usual collection. But we also kept coming back to the simplicity of the melodies and the song’s direct impact.
The rhythm section parts and the arrangements are some of the most sophisticated and sonically interesting we’ve ever recorded. Some feature guests singing in French and Spanish, and as always it’s hard to pin down the extent of the various cultural influences, but there’s also that distinctly rough (and proud to be) Australian edge that’s at the heart of this group’s sound.
We didn’t rehearse for this album. I had a collection of songs written in the midst of a whirlwind of touring and performing the previous years, and Harry came in with a collection of ideas that developed more within the studio. In either scenario - other than the songwriters - the band were hearing the songs for the first time as they learned and recorded them.
After all these years and sonic miles, we’ve come to trust our instincts and first impressions musically, and that’s an exciting place to be as a band. I hope that some aspect of that feeling translates to our audience, where even though they might be listening to the song for the first time, it feels as if they’ve known it all along.”

Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
