such a sweet pop tune. can somebody tell me how in earth is this song on most of the radio stations in america? instead, we hear nothing but old repeated retreads of the same songs over and over again. thank god for the open access to music via internet.
I haven't listened to much of their work yet, But I have to say they are the newest band I'm actually interested in! Until I got into this band just today (10/04/08, well the fifth since it is past midnight) The Presidents of the United States of America were the newest band I was interested in! (They still tour and record new material, I highly recommend their Love Everybody album!)
This is awesome.Has this band been going long?.I have heard of smog and daniel johnston be4 but not the new pornographers.This band kicks arse (ass) plus that ocordian player is soooo pretty.
I can't believe they sound so amazing in a darn cab. There guys are amazing, the harmonies, the melodies, the energy... I'm madly in love with a bunch of pornographers!
totally great! Got to see these guys in Nov. in Western New York and t'was thrilling, and to just add some fuel to that fire, the latest release is my favorite... it's just so damn good
They're absolutely AWESOME! i love all of their albums! especially the last two ones ^^ twin cinema and Challengers, i saw them in Brussels a couple of weeks ago, but too bad Neko Case wasn't also there :)
I wonder if most NP fans would rank Mass Romantic least favorite. I think Mass Romantic is definitely their strongest overall, but I get the feeling that most people don't agree.
Woah! Pretty low on Electric Version. Listen to it again, please. I think it's their masterpiece. But that's not saying much seeing as that they've yet to fail
Same here. Challengers, well, I didn't jump right into it like I did with the other three albums... not at first, anyways. After a while, I was pretty much addicted to it with no way of recovering lol.
>Thorbie, yes challengers got it moments. But I still think it is not as good as twin cinema... in fact, not even close. But I agree that the album grows after some time with it... Twin Cinema is for me a masterpiece, it doesn´t have any medioker tracks and its hard/impossible to get tired of!
>anyprophet, hahaha shut up kids??? Have you even heard the albums??
I used to think so too, but challengers really grows on you after awhile. I find the songs to be much more infectious than on twin cinema. I remember hearing Mutiny I Promise You a few times, then all of a sudden I had the urge to hear it again and I couldn't stop hitting repeat.
wow these Black Cab sessions are fucking amazing!!!! What a great Idea for artists
