of Montreal – Heimdalsgate Like a Promethean Curse Lyrics 18 years ago
Kevin Barnes:
Well actually, Pitchfork got that wrong when they were reviewing that song. It has nothing to do with illegal drugs. It’s a song about the chemicals in your brain, just like the natural chemicals and trying to balance them out and that sort of feeling that you’re not really in control of your emotions or of your outlook on things. A lot of times it can be totally warped by this imbalance…it’s almost like you’re being betrayed by your body or your mind. It’s kind of a song about, if you kind of step outside of yourself saying to the physical part of your body, like, “get it together man, you’re ruining your life” or “you’re ruining my life.” Or our life, whatever.

Xiu Xiu – Pink City Lyrics 18 years ago
i think it was his fiance, not just girlfriend

"R.C. - Too bad. What is your worst vacation ever?
J.S. -AHHH! ....let's see.. it was kind of complicated in terms of what made it the worst because aspects of it were the best vacation ever too.I took a trip to India after I graduated college, but the person I went with was someone who I was dating. It turned out that I realized during the trip very clearly that it I was no longer to be dating. That made it incredibly miserable for a majority of the trip. And then, because it was India, every once in a while you'd see something that blew your mind and was the most beautiful and astonishing thing on the entire planet. It was very confusing. But it sucked. Largely.
R.C. - So you got there and then realized what?
J.S. - She just had super incredibly, inflexible culture shock, which led to her being a complete maniac and freak the entire time. Just really mean and shortsighted and eurocentric and unbearably difficult. She was kind of like that anyway, she just made it much more clear. And we were engaged. She had a lot of absurd ideas about what our married life would be like . It just got to be bad news. But again, interspused with some of the most exciting wonderful things on earth. It was odd.
R.C. - Well it seems like it would be good to have such a strange...
J.S. - ...yeah, for sure. I guess looking back on it, it was an intense trip. Maybe not the worst, but certainly the most intense."

Xiu Xiu – Clowne Towne Lyrics 18 years ago
But because of changing living arrangements, Xiu Xiu’s sound was affected.

“It was just in technical ways. Well, kind of emotionally, also,” Stewart explains. “I ended up moving to places where I had to play more quietly; before we had recorded in a place where we could make as much noise as we wanted. Like the song ‘Clowne Towne’ (on the new album) is about how I moved into a house where everyone was younger – I’m 32 and everyone was around 20 – and I was looking to make a bond, but I ended up being fucked over by everyone there.”
