The New Pornographers - My Slow Descent

[ElDuderinoxD]

great video for a great song!

[pipaspaz]

OOOHM!!!!!!! GREAT

[nhumensk]

that guy has a terrible haircut

[billyidolplastic]

This should be the new theme song for the charity named Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo (RodeoHouston). They increase the number of locations to buy liquor, wine, and beer every few years. For alcoholics, you can get free alcohol (wide selection) at each one of about 140 meetings/parties for the 70+ committees. Everybody is invited to the committee meetings.  There are so many people in most of the committees that nobody knows if you are a member. No cash needed to get your fix.

[lebarosky]

Canadians are so fkn nice to one another. Americans do not pour the booze in each other before they start kicking each others' butts.

[TheBeaudrie]

Right on.

[L1NKSYST3M]

They recorded last tuesday? Fuck!

[andrewreid623]

Just Give'r

[mickdimas]

The first time I heard this was watching the Wedge on Much Music years ago in the states and I said "Fuck Yeah This ROCKS!!!!!!!"

[rainydaymoon]

I saw a covered up pilsner can, this must have been made in Saskatchewan. As for the sherry comment, that is sherry you can get in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. I had it myself once tastes like something you would not have a full bottle of. Some drunks buy it because its cheap, cause when you are already drunk taste does not matter. The song is solid and Neko is a great collaborator with these guys I hope they do more sometime in the future.

[lonelywurm]

@rainydaymoon

I dunno about the whole video, but the building the guy walks out of at the start is the east tower of Suncor Energy Centre in downtown Calgary (formerly the Petro Canada Centre). Recognized it first thing.

[ihavethebrain]

what are these guys drinking, sherry??

[ihavethebrain]

great album



[rainydaymoon]

I

This video has a FUBAR theme. I liked the addition of Neko Case, she works quite well with the NP's.

[unlitdarkness6]

so these guys just do covers?..

[101Volts]

@unlitdarkness6 They don't. I can think of seven different covers they've released and there's only one cover in one of their main albums.

[Bravestardmc]

Terry and Deaner ftw

[sophiawv1923]

A fast descent into musical mediocrity. Sounds like a garage band.

[TheBeauHunk]

@sophiawv1923

defintely a unique (to them) sort of song... you should listen to "electric verstion" and "twin cinema" also the vid for "the laws have changed" is purdy cool.. if you don't like them, just go listen to the band broken bells instead.

[damosuzuki777]

saw these guys front row about two years back. lovely show. (The female keyboardist is a bit of a looker too)

[iameric5790]

@wooofums If I had five words left and I'm about to expire and the only thing I had left was to curse Tron I'm probably not going to say Tron funking blow.

[wooofums]

tron funkin blow

[EPeters208]

Is that Thomas Lennon from Reno 911?

[coolcoz1]

@EPeters208 Look like it, but not quite. I get what your saying but at the same time it can't be.

[RaoulGuapo]

Now playing on Radio Vaduz on FB

[MadAshSamuels]

This video is hilarious.

[1023greenking]

i dont feel good at all...they lied :(

[ShxtBlowsUp]

i just saw them live, and let me tell you they are even better live! the new pornographers are such a gift.

[missteenwordpower5]

@ShxtBlowsUp i saw them live and went back for more! twice in the same summer.. oh yes.

[101Volts]

Great live performance on June 13th. It was the last song of the encore.

[missteenwordpower5]

@101Volts wait were did you see them at??

[101Volts]

@missteenwordpower5 Columbus, Ohio.

[miguelitof]

WTF?

[smackie9]

wow I remember nights like that but we were on something else ;)

[karpiediem]

man, that business guy is super cute.

[dogterd]

Dude.... turn down the "Suck"!!

I wanna go camping with these fuckers.

[AceTurbo1]

Awesome video with the guys from Fubar. Where's Tron?

[hitman275]

@AceTurbo1 Who cares? Tron funkin blow!

[brandnutopian]

Oh backyard drinking fight parties are the fucking best!!

[cowshrptrn]

this song's got too happy of a melody for such morose lyrics, but i guess that's part of why i like this song

[101Volts]

@cowshrptrn Listen to their cover of "When I Was A Baby". Its much darker lyrically but the song sounds so happy.

[AnneAnnalynn]

so so bored any guys want to rescue me

[mrearthboundmisfit]

@AnneAnnalynn From what?.. are you being attacked by zombies or mexicans?

[101Volts]

The New Pornographers are truly amazing. They're my favorite and they're just as good as The Beatles if not better.

[hockeyDG05]

Tron Funkin Blow

[isotopefun]

Neko's harmonies in this tune just fucking rock.

[fronterapdx]

simply the best... better than all the rest

[savantiflag]

Its Pat from YTV lol

[danilovico]

i´m gonna get drunk

[tunaleg]

hey it's allistair coulter!

[doodiethief]

Thats the guy from Reno 911

[overthatfence]

Bit of a tune this, isn't it?

[thatpunkfromDC]

this is me and my friends not drunk...

wow

[rasmusgirlfree]

really fun if you drink beer this video is better

[LTandDS]

The video is pretty damn good as is even when sober! :)

[laphish]

Is that Dean?

[Wof91]

Nice Song!!!!

[mglasson]

what a waste of a good song

[dannyeder]

surely what you really meant to say was 'what an amazing and life-altering experience'!

[AwakePublius420]

That vid reminds me of me and my friends when when we would be hanging out getting lit up and having fun.

[AwakePublius420]

That reminds me of... well me!

[CowyChan]

:) !

[blank15951]

The mustached actor where the hell is he from!?!?!?!? He's way too god damn familiar and it's bugging me.

[fleeperzonk]

Pat Kelly. Perhaps you're thinking of Good Morning World?

[zeenat89]

he hosted 'the zone' on ytv

[anderoomcleod]

lol, yeah, it bothered be forever and I used to see him on YTV.

That makes me feel really really young. Except that was like...over a decade ago...which, conversely makes me feel old.

I'm confused.

[fatboy2800]

You're not the only one, my friend.

[cally999]

Great music never gets old, and this is the greatest contemporary music ever made.

[Karlifornication]

That was pretty awesome.

[thapatkelly]

i heart pk

[dimestime]

FUNK U TRON!!!!!!!

[bolerocrew]

Too bloody funny!!!

[channie333]

lol!! xD

[lfccogs]

lets all have a drink and look happy this is cool stuff

[GiveMeCollegeMusic]

holy FUCK

[chickflap]

you know you love it!!!

[jaboxer]

you just gotta giver!

[peachisme]

getter done!

[lockyer]

At 38, I should be too old to gush about bands but the NP's do it to me EVERY TIME!

And this song in particular is pure, unadulterated pop genius.

Gush, gush, gush, ad-infinitum....

[number7gracestreet]

I am with you. Why am I u-tubing this song/video in the middle of the night? Why am I still a giddy teenager whenever a record's chords/lyrics/smilin' face gets me happy? Guess we're lucky enuff to know what makes us happy. Same age as you... and Neko, for that matter...

[lockyer]

"Guess we're lucky enuff to know what makes us happy."

I couldn't agree more. The juvenile days of defining what one likes by what one doesn't like, are happily long-gone.

The songs and bands I used to publicly deride (and secretly tap my foot to) now take pride of place with all my old punk and indi albums.

I saw The NPs here in Australia last year (minus Niko sadly) and was terrified that they'd be a let down.

A "let down"? What was I thinking?!!! They were so damn good! gush, gush.....

[syberpat]

Pat Kelly! and the dudes from FUBAR, awesome stuff! and this is totally what it's like in Alberta, everywhere.

[Genovation]

@syberpat tru dat

[SENSFAN77]

PAT KELLY!

[marlinfisher11]

Who's Pat Kelly?

[SENSFAN77]

the main character the guy in the suit is him. he is god

[Eigen000]

Awesome crap. Decadence is beautiful.

[khashood]

this is a crazy drinking-theme video

[zazz8]

you need to watch FUBAR to truly appreciate this video

[parkdale420]

FUCK TRON!!LOL

[zazz8]

if i had like 5 words left before i was going to expire and like all i had left to say was like curse tron i dont think i would say tron funkin blow

[relativesteel]

Ahhh Im floating around Youtube drunk on a Tuesday night and come across this song. Perfect timing. Salvation. Lovely

[scottyleach]

I have always loved TNP and always will!!!

[gandertron]

reminds me of Slacker (Richard Linklater)... Love it

[Catty112]

[spacetraavelisboring]

That's great!

[Drakelah]

Wow...  Karsh looks like a porn star.

[artofvoice]

Tron funkin blows!

[twistingincognito]

Hahahaha! I like I like.

Hey anyone know what happened to the video of "All For Swinging You Around"?

[stochasticstu]

Terry and Deaner...Classic...Fubar rules!!!

[Hyduk42]
