32 year old here - been cranking with either for decades son.

Those dial up modem sounds still give me wood.

I have 2 3 4 questions:

  1. In Deadlines, which Europeans are you talking about?

  2. Max, do you ever get mistaken for Adrian Grenier? And if you do, do you use those powers for good or for evil?

  3. How would you say your writing/inspiration changed between Jackson Square and High Noon (feel free to include Michigan Left too!)

  4. Is Michigan Left a reference to a Michigan Left? I always assumed it was a reference to some highway sign somewhere where you turned left to get to Michigan until I discovered that intersection was a thing.

Hey guys - thanks for doing the AMA!

We are expecting our first and when I first found out I was going to be a dad, I listened to Welcome a few times. Great song and certainly hit a spot. Did you know that Grant Lawrence plays it on CBC Radio 3 whenever he hears of someone welcoming a new life?

Anyway, onto my real question (with a bit of back story): Last year I saw Elliott BROOD up here in Whitehorse and I was discussing with Casey afterwords. I thanked him for trekking all the way up because I don't think anyone makes any money coming up here. His repsonse was that they really love the crowds up here (they were up for DCMF a few years ago) and compared it to St. John's. He said the best crowds they've played for have been here and in St. John's.

So my question(s):

  1. Have you guys played up here in the past? And if so, are the crowds comparable? (I figured you'd have the inside track on that, y'know?)

  2. When are you coming to Whitehorse?

Hey guys, thanks for the AMA

Torq: are you still doing work for the ceeb? I haven't heard you hosting in a while.

Also, when can we expect your tour to swing through the Yukon?
