How many times have you found yourself thinking that very same thing this afternoon then, eh? Can you even count them on the one hand? If you're struggling to truck on into the weekend, then we've a rather apposite one to throw on and haul you through: the conjoining of the respective creative forces of Dinosaur Jr. main man J Mascis and the ever resplendent Sharon Van Etten , the collaboration is to my mind – and indeed my ears, as it just so transpires – something of a dream realised. In fact, I'd go so far as to [...]
Shut Down The Streets es el nuevo álbum en solitario de A.C. Newman , el cantante y compositor canadiense y uno de los componentes de The New Pornographers. El álbum ha contado con la colaboración de Neko Case, compañera en el supergrupo canadiense. Mp3: A.C. Newman. Encyclopedia Of Classic Takedowns
A.C. Newman is undeniably best known for his work with The New Pornographers . Nonetheless, I've always counted his solo albums, especially his first , amongst my favorite in his discography. In fact, although I'd be excited for a new The New Pornographers album any day, I'm maybe even more delighted when A.C. Newman (or any of the super group's other members for that matter) release a solo album. On his third solo album, Newman's songwriting is as crisp and clean as ever. Album opener "I'm Not Talking" is smooth, tight pop music at it's tidiest. [...]

Newman ha venido labrando, desde 2004, una carrera como solista que verá su continuación el próximo 9 de octubre , cuando el músico edite su tercer larga duración en solitario con el título de Shut Down The Streets . De este álbum ya hemos tenido la oportunidad de escuchar "Encyclopedia Of Classic Takedowns" y "Not Talking"; sin embargo, ahora el músico y su disquera han decidido ofrecer el stream completo del disco, una [...]
[mp3] AC Newman: "Encyclopedia of Classic Takedowns" AC Newman is a stalwart and consistent songwriter, whether under his own moniker or with The New Pornographers. Newman's songs are almost always filled with powerful and sunny vocal blasts, even if the material doesn't always match the rosy melodies. On this first single from his new solo album Shut Down The Streets (10/9 Matador), Newman is backed up by his longtime and always faithful collaborator Neko Case.

Menomena – Heavy is as Heavy Does [mp3] (from Moms , out now) Justin Harris and Danny Seim soldier on as a duo (minus founding member Brent Knopf who left to pursue his solo project Ramona Falls). The new album is more cohesive than previous collections, with their multi-layered, intricate approach to experimental indie rock focusing more on the subject of family relationships (but still brandishing their bare-knuckled take on friendship and sexuality). [...]
You know, I feel like I beat the world over the head today with some rock n' roll, so I figure we could close out the day with a little touch of perfect pop from our beloved AC Newman . The singer has teamed up with his New Pornos bandmate, Neko Case , combining for a mellow little pop ballad that's sure to give you a spritual lift as you try to wrap up the world's longest Friday. This track will be featured on Newman's upcoming record for [...]

It's not rare that a band frontman will pursue a solo career, but few have done it with as the success that New Pornographers singer/songwriter A.C. Newman has. His solo albums have included some of his very best tracks like "The Heartbreak Rides" and "Miracle Drug and his new album Shut Down The Streets appears to be following in the same mold. "I'm Not Talking" is the first single and it's an excellent marriage of vivid, serene instrumentation, hopeful lyrics and winsome harmonies. Just what you'd expect from one of the [...]

AC Newman – Not Talking [mp3] (from Shut Down the Streets , out September 18 th on Matador ) New Pornographers front-man delivers his third solo album – purportedly the lyrical content is more deeply personal than previous efforts.

Mientras esperamos un posible nuevo trabajo de los New Pornographers , no está de más escuchar qué se tiene entre manos A.C Newman , vocalista y uno de los fundadores de la banda. Según leemos en Matador Records , publicará su tercer disco de estudio en solitario el próximo 9 de octubre. Se llamará Shut Down The Streets y contendrá diez temas, de los que podemos escuchar "I'm Not Talking". La nueva placa ha sido grabada en Woodstock (Nueva York) y cuenta con [...]
I'm not going to lie to you; I think AC Newman is perhaps one of the best songwriters around. Sure, a lot of people agree, especially when you throw him with New Pornographers , but I feel like a lot of people overlook his solo efforts (sadly!). On October 9th Matador Records will be releasing AC's 3rd record, Shut Down the Streets , and hopefully you'll listen to this song below and realize just how awesome his songwriting is. Personally, his voice [...]
While it's hard to call 20092s Get Guilty a bad album, it really let me down after how much I enjoyed AC Newman's solo debut The Slow Wonder. That one is better than about half of the New Pornographers' records. So I'm a little hesitant to get my hopes up that this fall's album Shut [...]
