[ChrissySeebs]

This man inspires me every single day.

[camilitel]

you guys are good

[AkuTako]

[smartrocker14]

Does anyone know the chords for the song? It looks like at first it is C and then G, but I don't know the rest.

[lowbalancealert]

WIN

[captainclayman]

i hope you guys get a bunch of recognition from joystiq

you guys are hella cool

[philmed1]

i stumbled across the David Letterman performance of this song and I NEED to find it again. They performed it with another girl who mesmorized me. I cant find it now. It sounded a lil better than this. It wasnt Neco Case either, and I know nothing of this type of music.

[methodmaine]

@philmed1 Nicole Atkins was the girl in the funky shoes.

[lulz1978]

joystiq!

[paulthewall71]

i just heard a bit of this song on the joystiq podcast! I will be buying the cd very soon :)

[dannythegaminggeek]

@paulthewall71 Yes! JPAG4LIFE

[MusicJew158]

I really really want to visit Vancouver

[JahsirAtari]

Chords anyone?

[RichardBLongly]

One of my favorite artists in a category that I also place Bill Callahan/Smog. A.C. Newman's music is tighter and more... composerish, and Bill lyrics are a little more creative. Both clever artists! B\

[zooliedee]

Heard it Loved it in upper mass. They play such good music in that area of the states.

[sangReality]

what microphone is he singing into?

[RichardBLongly]

It's a Shure and it looks like it's a condenser. I haven't seen that particular mic before. I don't think I've seen ANY Shure CONDENSER. B\

[mznthrope]

@RichardBLongly It's an SM7, and it's dynamic.

[jasoneric]

THIS SONG ROCKS

!!! BELIEVE IT

[chrisboomfool]

who else heard this on npr??  i cant sop listening to them!

[aquelegaroto]

i reallly , reaally , love this song

[dpalter]

Damn this is good--new music, a great find.

[EpicSilver]

Just got off a flight from NY. It's 1AM in CHICAGO. Jet Blue was kind enough to show us David Letterman... I had never heard of this guy, but as I was sleeping with my headphones on, I awoke to this beautifully written and produced song. thanks to those of you who were quick to write the song's name on DL tonight. Made my job easier in my efforts of trying to figure out who this was.

[bandcouver]

He's also in The New Pornographers. Originally from Vancouver, BC, Canada. There's a lot of other amazing acts from Vancouver as well. Tune into bandcouver when you have a chance. You might be pleasantly surprised again.

[Onlydreamin1959]

I love the New Pornographers as much as your reference to Bandcouver! I'll mark that on my map (used to live there and would love to get back).

[AgentMull]

The New Pornographers are probably one of my favorite bands of all time. All of their stuff is so wonderfully written, performed and produced.

[denjski]

Saw him on Letterman tonite...great tune...and as for a couple of you...pretty pretentious

[indie500sessions]

great album

[Jeeenyus]

Amazing song.

[Ghostmaker16]

Totally awesome. Carl Newman is one of the greatest writers of our time.

[Masterdurge]

I've always loved his music and i am not sure if that is the same drummer from new pornographers but both are awesome love their style.

[afooosha]

keep it up you have a gr8 VOICE :D.. i like it ...

[manix1234]

Sounds good lads!!!

[damianmann]

These guys seem like a band Deadheads might jizz in their pants over.

[satirical78]

Unnecessary attempt at categorization (read: stereotyping). One that also happens to be totally off the mark. There is nothing particularly earthy, jammy, peace-y, twangy, marijuana-y, about A.C. Newman, or the New Pornographers, for that matter. Such a bizarre and asinine comment.

[damianmann]

lay off. i wasn't attempting to categorize Or stereotype dipshit. i was making an honest comment about my first (mark that....first) impressions OF THE SONG.
