I Didn't Really Get London

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.

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 Would Try To Pick The Guitar Up Sometimes, Like, "hey, Remember Me?" It Was Like Reintroducing Yourself To Someone Who's Got A Grudge.

I Think That's More A Reflection Of The Fact I've Never Been A Student Of Any Particular School Of Writing, Or Even Listening.

You Just Never Set Roots; You Take Pleasure In Simple Conversations, Because You Know You're Not Going To Have Much More Than That. It's Very Isolating, And That Can Be A Good Thing.
