I love having my two favorite songwriters sitting next to each other and talking about each other's work.

Nothing better than a Winnipeg February, nothing like -40 to make you feel alive. And yes, I hate Winnipeg.

@kawaramachi907 There's a new solo album by John K. Samson coming early 2012.

@awesomeness23456 Agreed, as did John K. Samson when I (briefly) talked to him about it last Sunday (he played two amazing shows in the Netherlands - check my many videos of these two gigs).

If this song does one thing, it makes me want to VISIT Winnipeg some day :).

@EasilyWowed i stayes in winnipeg too for kinda 2 month and.. fell in love with this town !!!

[awesomeness23456]

@mc96af he doesn't hate winnipeg... basically this is a love song to winnipeg...

[EasilyWowed]

No one is laughing anymore near the end, are they? I'm not from Winnipeg; but I get it; having stayed there for awhile. It could be said for SO MANY places we either live in or come from. EXCELLENT! Winnipeg: still love it!

[mc96af]

What a great song. Like he says...or someone said at some point, everyone hates the town that their in. It's something that we can all relate to.

[peaceric]
