Since Broken Social Scene are Canadian, one might think they’re immune to the harsh temperatures that winter brings. Not true. In fact, the members of BSS are still human (I know, right?) and are just as susceptible as you and I when the temperature drops into the negatives. To survive their upcoming Forgiveness Rock Record (TMT Review) US tour in February, BSS have decided to form a cuddle pile before they go on stage each night, to keep each other warm and to maintain positive group morale. Sounds like a good idea to me, although Brendan Canning’s bony white arms don’t exactly scream “nurturing warmth” to me.
