No Matter Who Weaves In And Out Of Your Life, Regardless Of The Quality Of Those Deep Friendships And Familyships, I'm The Only Common Denominator At This Point Who's Been With Me The Whole Time.

I Love Storms And How The Whole House Shakes. When I Was A Kid, There Would Be Lots Of Thunder And Lightning Storms, And They Would Knock The Electricity Out.

Music Is Pretty Intimate Stuff And I Can Only Work With Very Few People: Gonzalez Being One, Mocky Being Another And, On A Completely Different Level, Broken Social Scene. With Broken Social Scene Its Not One-on-one, Its A One-on-12. Its Very Healthy, Very Comfortable, Like A Big Pot Luck Supper Among Old Friends.
