There are a lot of musicians I've met on Twitter where it was like, 'Hey, I like your music' - and then I ended up meeting them and it turned into a friendship.
added although best ended fire forward fuel great looking opportunity perhaps players returning season
We are all looking forward to the 2005 season. The 2004 season we had some great success. Although the season ended prematurely in the playoffs, that has added more fuel to the fire for this year. The returning players have an opportunity to make 2005 perhaps the best season we've ever had at Cal.

There used to be a lot of industry in Montreal, and now there's not, so it's really easy to get huge, empty spaces where you can practice and make music or make art for very, very cheap.

good
I'm not good at being, like, a sexy girl.
art freaked people totally unless worried
I'm not interested in making art unless I'm totally freaked out and worried people are going to hate it.
sort
I'm not, like, a natural performer. It's sort of a thing that I've had to learn to do.

alone complete computer hours work
I need to be able to work for 20 or 30 hours in one go in complete darkness, alone with just the computer glow.
record
I want to make an a cappella record to release for free.
It's interesting to be a front person who is controlling the majority of the sound.

I've seen Animal Collective live, and I suffered permanent hearing loss from that show!
beings curve human learning music natural obscure
The thing about music is it's not an obscure pursuit, it's a very natural thing for human beings to do. Once you put in the effort, the learning curve is very fast.
I've always been very intense about everything I do.
