I recently spent quite a bit of time in Sheffield, England, which is where Im from. I wouldnt move back there, but its funny when you spend a bit of time in the place where you were brought up. You kind of realize how that place has had quite a big effect on you or made you a certain way. – Jarvis Cocker
