“But, I am making a record. And I’d be lying if…it’s very weird to lay out something you did 12 years ago in all its complexity and then get inside it enough to be able to play it live, and not have that get into some of the newer stuff we’re doing.
“It’s early days. We’ve put down some great, great songs…I think what [listening to] Ladies And Gentlemen… has done is raised the bar in a different way. Rather than just copying the sonics of that record and saying ‘How did we used to do it?’ or ‘We used to do it like this’, it’s raised the bar, and I think that’s good.”

Automatic response to seeing anything Empire Records related is always going to be this scene, for me. I’m still not sold on the rest of the movie, but this was just awesome.

But being a collective means more than just amassing a large group of talented players. A large part of the Broken Social Scene aesthetic was the organic collaboration that emerged while creating You Forgot It In People as well as its follow-up, Stars. Drew and Canning, admittedly the core songwriters for the group, assembled the most talented of their peers, friends and fellow partners in crime, not to sit idly by, but to join them in the sandbox and get their hands dirty, too.
And they all dug in, up to their elbows. Unlike some super groups that wear the signatures of their members proudly on their separate sleeves, Broken Social Scene knows its strength lies in the sum of its parts. Who did what, though interesting to go full music geek about, isn’t nearly as important as what was being played, and, really, how well it all sounds together. The most compelling aspect about BSS, especially on their eponymous third disc, is that we get the sense that they would still be getting together and making this music even if there was no outlet for it. We are somehow irrelevant to the sweet chaos stirred up by their musical dialogue, and we should count ourselves lucky to be flies on sonic wall.

But what if you were a robot programmed very carefully, high-tech equipment that made you seem incredibly, incredibly normal? And then, okay, the robot — I’m going to call him Peter, you can’t look at that picture and not think he’s a Peter on some level — is designed as a super spy, so he’s sent to high school to keep an eye out for some SUSPICIOUS TEACHER or other. And he has to keep checking in with the guy who built him! Who is only recently out of high school himself, and is brilliant and dorky and kind of lame, but Peter thinks he’s responsible for the universe. Actually, he’s just responsible for Peter’s universe.

Officially it will be another 24 hours before the manhunt begins. That’s when Wired’s announcement of my disappearance will be posted online. It coincides with the arrival on newsstands of the September issue of the magazine, which contains a page of mugshot-like photos of me, eyes slightly vacant. The premise is simple: I will try to vanish for a month and start over under a new identity. Wired readers, or whoever else happens upon the chase, will try to find me.
