“Two of the people in our band are huge Radiohead fans and they went and downloaded the record and they didn’t pay anything for it. They both ordered the box set, but I was just like, ‘You fail!’ This one time you had an opportunity to put money in their pockets and you chose not to. We all laughed about it but I felt really sad because even our favorite bands are worth nothing to us, because we’ve got a culture that’s convinced that we’re rich." (read full article with Tegan).

Fellow Michiganders,

Someone (That'd be me) waited too long to get tickets to the sold out St. Andrews show. Then, I was going to go to the Borders In-Store but rumor has it that wrist bands and standing in a long line in the cold will be involved. Despite my love for Tegan and Sara, well, I'm just too old and grouchy to do that. So, I have a special request -- please, please, please record the banter! Please? Thanks!

"'I think Tegan and I always felt like outsiders,' said Sara, calling from Dallas. 'Not like outsiders in a bad way. I don't think anybody was ever, like, mean to us. But we always felt like we were always on our path and doing our own thing. I was always kind of envious of the scenes with like Broken Social Scene, Stars and Dears.'" (read full article).

"Another downside to being able to afford a big tour bus is that they get people loitering around for autographs. Not always fans, but "weird men" who want autographs to sell on Ebay. According to Sara, people will stand and wait outside of their bus for them. They say they want autographs for their daughters who are big fans. "And, you're like 'really? And your daughter prints off, like, 38 photos and wants you to sign in blue ink?," she says sarcastically." (read full article).

"Tegan's not complaining, though; every day's not a pizza party. Especially the last couple of weeks, when the guttural crooner went without clean clothes, sporting inside-out socks and reversed undies. Now able to slip on something that won't repel people, Tegan can breathe - and so can those around her." (read full article).

"Ashley: Sara, feel free to not answer this because your personal life is none of our business, but an article was published a couple weeks ago where you talked openly about your relationship with Emy and implied that it had come to an end... is that true? Or possibly just a journalist twisting your words? Her style is really important, I think, to the branding of your band... I just love how it fits so well with your tastes and the music you're making. Is she still going to be involved with future Tegan and Sara artwork?

Sara: Yes we have decided to take a break. And yes she will continue to be involved in our career! Our collaboration on art and visuals was an amazing part of my life for the past five years, and it would be very difficult to lose that. So we are working hard at being art partners."

"Someone asked me the other day if I worried if people dated me because they wanted a song written about them," she continues with a laugh. "And I said I didn't worry about it because most people that know my music, know I'm always writing songs about me [laughs]. Songs about what is happening to me. Someone else might inspire me to write about me, but it's still only about how they affected me. So it's about Tegan. I'm gay -- it's what's happening in my gay old life. But I don't think that makes me off limits to people who aren't gay. I think anyone who has felt anxiety in a relationship can relate." (read full article).

"Do you really think your mother loves you equally? My mom realizes that our daughter-mother bonds are as strong as it could be. But ultimately, the bond between Sara and me is stronger.

Do you have identical tastes in women? Sara has always picked suitable and loving partners. But we go for very different people. Sara's more introverted and shy, and she dates completely different people than I do. I'm more gregarious, and that attracts a different type of person." (read Dallas Voice).

"The most fascinating thing about Tegan and Sara is not that they're identical twins, or gay, or anything of "interest" like that. It's that they don't actually write their songs together--they write separately, from their homes in separate cities, and then mess with each other's work." (read full review).
