It makes me so proud to hear about the influence of the Halifax Pop Explosion on Pop Montreal. Growing up in Halifax, I was a bit too young to be a part of the indie scene that was developing, but I knew about it, and even so, I never would have imagined that Pop was inspired by a festival in a smaller city. I like what Dan said about Pop being summer's final kick. I'm a sappy romanticizer and really experienced Pop as a "crazy exhausting beautiful time that you have to recover from" insofar as it reflected the general fall feeling of crazy exhausting beauty at its peak. Fall reminds me of Halifax. It's the real-est of all seasons out there. And, for most people I know, real = home in sort of backward sense of the fuzziness of life. And Dan somewhat full-circled that emotion in having Pop imitate life and reality be the expression of fall's Pop-y life-ing. side note: I counted the spam check equation of 9 + 3 on my fingers. Someone needs to get me an abacus for me to function normally in society.
