I Don't Want To Have

One Thing With Montreal Is It's So Cold And Everyone's So Poor And Beer's So Cheap: If You Go To A Show You Have To Brave The Weather To Get There. So You Show Up And Everyone's Soaking Wet - There's A Sense Of 'i Trekked Through Three Feet Of Snow To Get Here!' I Think There's A Kind Of Camaraderie That Arises Out Of That, That's Important To Me As Well.

My Manager Lives On My Block; Four Of The Apartments In My Apartment Complex Of Seven Are People I Know. It's A Really Close-knit Community, And Almost Everyone On These Few Blocks Are Artists Or Graphic Designers, Because We Live Right On The Cusp Of A Warehouse District.

I Have A Lot Of Japanese Friends: I Grew Up In Vancouver, And There's This Huge Japanese Population Over There.

I Think My Music's Kind Of Cold, But I Don't Know If It's Related To The Weather. It Might Be Because It's Always Grey [in Montreal], It's Very Depressing.
