Carl "AC" Newman is één van de frontfiguren van The New Pornographers. Net als zijn collega's Dan Bejar en Neko Case brengt de man ook solo-werk. Get Guilty is de opvolger van het mooie Slow Wonder uit 2004. Het nieuwe album zit nu in de mixfase en zou in januari 2009 verschijnen. Een album om alvast naar uit te kijken. Ondertussen hier nog een nummer uit Slow Wonder . AC Newman - Miracle Drug MySpace Website
Over the next few days, the lads from Okkervil River will be releasing a series of videos via their brand new youtube channel , featuring special guests (who you may have heard of) 'standing in' for members of the band. This first episode sees Carl Newman, of New Pornographers fame, filling in for the Shearwater -bound Jonathan Meiburg on 'Lost Coastlines', except Carl sings Will's original part, and Will does Jonathan's. Confused? Well, just watch the above clip and prepare to be spellbound by all its splendour, as it is [...]

Carl Newman of The New Pornographers is nearing completion of his second solo album (under the initialed A.C. Newman name), which is set for a January release. His debut The Slow Wonder was a slice of guitar pop that had some wonderfully catchy songs, not unlike the Pornos, or even his older band Zumpano. Newman on the as-yet untitled album: "My friend John Wurster, who drums with Superchunk and the Mountain Goats, did most of the drumming," he says. "A singer named Nicole Atkins did a lot of singing on it. She's a [...]
watching the new pornographers live on pitchfork.tv reminded me of how much i missed their 2005 album twin cinema . one of my favorite moments in that record was what they were playing at that pitchfork festival - "the bleeding heart show", a song which begins mildly enough, only to meander its way to a glorious, hair-raising singalong. may this album find its way home to me someday. mp3: new pornographers - the bleeding heart show

Since I discussed Destroyer earlier in the week, I thought it only fitting to write about associated musician Carl Newman. Newman, who acts as the primary leader in the New Pornographers (in which Dan Bejar of Destroyer performs), released a solo album a few years back under the name A.C. Newman. And, honestly, I think it's better than the New Pornos' albums. But, I must admit, I have never really been very into them -- despite everyone around me saying otherwise. So maybe I'm just missing something. In any case, The Slow [...]
Up to this point in my life, I've never had a brush with death. There I was yesterday watching an out of control SUV barreling down on me and my measly Toyota. My life flashed before my eyes as two seconds felt like an eternity. When all was over, nobody was seriously hurt. Lucky. Thankful. It's moments like these that makes you take a step back. It made me think of my family and how much they really mean to me. They bring joy to me everyday, and for this I am [...]
Reaching 35 in this column feels like an accomplishment, and maybe that's because society itself sees reaching 35 that way. After all, once you reach the age of 35 (if you were born in the U.S.A. and a non-felon) you can hold the highest office in this great nation of ours. If you've been married for 35 years, tradition holds that well-wishers festoon you with coral as an anniversary gift, and you don't have to be a clownfish or a sea anemone to know that coral is pretty special. Speaking of reefs, the winning 35 song has been closely linked [...]
Souvenir of Canada Ritrovarmi una sera con tutti i libri di Douglas Coupland raccolti negli anni sparpagliati per la stanza, tra il divano e il computer, con un blocco per gli appunti e molte penne infilate tra le pagine. Mi sentivo come se stessi ancora preparando un esame all'università. E mi piaceva! Non sembravo troppo preoccupato di dovermi ritrovare a parlare in pubblico di una nazione che non avevo mai visitato, né di dover tagliare con l'accetta finti giudizi letterari pieni di fraintendimenti. Stavo solo provando una volta [...]

AC Newman's singing love songs photo by Jason Bechtel Congratulations to Carl (A.C.) Newman of The New Pornographers , who wed Matador Records marketing manager Christy Simpson this weekend. The New York Times reports that sometime bandmate, alt-country chanteuse Neko Case serenaded the couple with "a set of songs about love gone wrong." Mates of State also performed for the attending crowd, which contained band members, Matador employees, and various industry folk, as did comedian Eugene Mirman and even A.C. himself, who announced, "I just got [...]
** To explain Challengers , I first feel the need to give some background on what makes the New Pornographers the Canadian sensation they are. With Twin Cinema , the New Pornographers seemed to have became more comfortable with more subtle hooks and more drawn out climaxes in a way they'd never been before. *** Electric Version and Mass Romantic were somehow both subversive and almost garish; as a teenager I was drawn to them because I saw them as being more sophisticatedly rebellious than the music my peers listened [...]
The New Pornographers Carl Newman was married last Saturday, August 4th, in his new 'hometown' of Brooklyn to Christy Simpson, a Matador Records project manager. Belated congrats to Carl and Christy and here's wishing you all the happiness you desire. Here's a couple of pix of the couple on that special day (source).

The New Pornographers Carl Newman has been very open, if not obsessive, about his influences and here's a great sounding audio example. This is the band Carl sang in before the New Pornos were formed, Zumpano, doing a CBC radio session of all Burt Bacharach covers back on January 26th 1999. These songs will sound familiar to many, even if you don't recognize the song titles, these songs have entered the collective musical conscious due to the simple fact that Bacharach is a genius. 1 Intro 2 twenty four hours from tulsa 3 Interview 4 anyone who had a [...]
For no particular reason, other than I've been listening to quite a bit of it lately, I decided to christen today Power Pop Friday and share some of my favorite examples. This may be a precursor to other genre-related days, maybe Disco-Punk Monday, or I'll more likely than not just forget about it forever. For now, though, enjoy some of my favorite power pop as a nice start to your weekend. AC Newman - Miracle Drug AC Newman - Drink to Me Babe, Then The Broken West - On the Bubble [...]
Daydreams of Patagonia , red meat and the beautiful rhythms of incomprehensible Spanish; the only thing stopping me from wishing that this year would end however, is the knowledge that there'll be another one starting in it's place.
