...favorite song on there is "Good Intentions Paving Co." but it feels a little bit poppier than your other work. Actually, a lot of the album does. I think part of it was a reaction to the previous record, Ys. The experience of making Ys was quite intense and formal for me. I paid such close attention to every tiny little detail - the syntax, the lyrics, the distribution of syllabic entropies, the interior and exterior rhyme patterns - there was a lot of activity and it felt a little frenetic.

But then on the other end if I got too extreme with it, people would be like, "Oh my God, are you O.K.?" I couldn't quite figure...
...order is being maintained. In Whistler, police have said arrests are lower than what they would typically be during New Year's Eve or, for that matter, your average rambunctious summer weekend. Still, while walking through downtown Vancouver after a long day's work, you can't help but think, These must be the drunkest Olympics ever. (Watch a video of Olympic athletes training...
