I Would Try To Pick The Guitar

I'm In The Countryside Outside Of Paris, In A Beautiful Old Manor House. The Studio Is In The Basement, But We Decided To Set Everything Up In The Old Parlor And Dining-room Area So We Can Look At Each Other And (at) The Sunshine Coming Through The Stained-glass Windows. It's Pretty Idyllic, And I Think It's Spoiling Me. I'll Have To Go Back To Regular Life After This.

Be Alone Even When There's A Million People Around, Because Tomorrow It Will Be A Different Million People.

The Group-effort Sound In Recording Of Sea Lion Is Like, You Really Hear All The People In The Room And Hear Them Interlocking. Theres A Real Freight-train Energy Of All These People At The Same Time Playing.

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.

I Never Really Lived Outside Of The City Growing Up, But I'm Always Looking In Between The Lines Of The City, And I Magnetize Over To The Green Spots.
