Como ya sabemos, Columbia Records está celebrando el lanzamiento del nuevo álbum de Leonard Cohen , Old Ideas , con la serie de videos " Old Ideas With New Friends ". Donde artistas contemporáneos como Cults, Greg Dulli y A.C. Newman hacen covers a sus temas favoritos de Cohen. Ya vimos a Cults con su versión a " Everybody Knows ", a Greg Dulli interpretando " Paper Thin Hotel ", y ahora es turno de Bradford Cox, frontman de la banda Deerhunter. Cox nos presenta una versión acústica (guitarra y voz) del [...]
Carl Newman de The New Pornographers fue víctima de un robo ocurrido en la casa que alquila en Los Angeles, aunque afortunadamente el cantante y compositor no estuvo presente cuando ocurrió el hecho. "Alguien lanzó una maceta por la ventana de nuestro piso en Los Angeles y se robaron nuestros iPads" escribió Newman sobre el incidente, y agregó "algunas personas no son muy buenas" . Como consuelo para Newman , todo el contenido de su iPad [...]

The summer is here, and that means that the men are hot, hot hot. Two years ago, we had our list of hot women , and the temperature is now ripe for the opposite sex.

The fleeting guitar-pop of The Demos presents itself like a smörgåsbord of indie-rock influences. Pop pioneers like The Beatles and Brian Wilson can be heard in much of today's music, but the prevalence of contrived imitation over infused creativity now prevents listeners from fully grasping their impact on a variety of pop/rock styles. The Demos' [...]
The Stand-Ins , and its predecessor, The Stage Names , are essentially integral parts of my record collection. Will Sheff and company have long been creating mini-masterpieces of unique pop/folk/rock and even if the band released an album every year, it still wouldn't be enough for me. In the hiatus in between albums, Okkervil River hasn't been idle, and have actually been a part of two of my favorite albums from last year, including Roky Erickson's True Love Cast Out All Evil , and Shearwater's The Golden Archipelago . When I Am Very [...]
I'm going to just say it, the New Pornographers have made the most clever and quite possibly the best music video you're going to see all year. The Canadian indie-pop collective , who in the past have made some pretty inventive videos, outdid themselves with the clip for Move. The video, whose storyline is an imaginary biopic of the band, features a who's who of indie-rockers, comedians and movie stars. See if you can spot them all... Click here to view the embedded video.

![[Watch] – New Video By The New Pornographers – "Moves"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3191832_lg.jpg)
The New Pornographers got a comedic makeover…literally. In the new video for "Moves," directed by Tom Scharpling, best known for his work on WFMU's "The Best Show" and USA's "Monk," we see a graphic reenactment of the New Pornographer's rise to fame – it goes without saying, but it's hilarious. The band approached Scharpling, as adoring fans, to direct their new video asking that he feature the band more – a different approach from their past music videos. However, when scheduling conflicts prevented the band from shooting, Scharpling came up with the next best thing. He asked [...]
"Moves," the New Pornographers newest music video, off of Together , features an all-out ensemble that's worth watching again and again, even if the song does sound a little like Weezer's "Sweater Song." Paul Rudd, Bill Hader, Horatio Sanz, Donald Glover, John Oliver, Wyatt Cenac, John Hodgman, a cross-dressing Ted Leo, and an Independent Spirit Award nominated performance from Kevin Corrigan as Dan Bejar. Watch. New Pornographers - Moves
The video works, but give me the Kevin Corrigan-as-Dan Bejar full length. That's something I'd be interested in.
As one of many New Pornographers with a fairly regular output all of his own, Dan Bejar 's solo outings in Destroyer don't necessarily stand out as much as they would if he were the only member moonlighting. Even so, it's been a good couple of years since A.C. Newman and Neko Case went toe-to-toe with impressive individual efforts, so the people are most likely ready for another chapter. [...]
Filed under: News , Video Jason Creps If New Pornographers frontman Carl Newman ever wondered who would play him in a movie adaptation of his life, his question has been answered. The band's new video for 'Moves' poses as a trailer for a fictional biopic of the musician that begins back in the late '70s with a young Newman getting his guitar smashed by jocks and busking for used Kleenex. The flick ends [...]
Watch: The New Pornographers - "Moves" (Official Video) In which John Hodgman, Ted Leo, Wyatt Cenac, Horatio Sanz, Julie Klausner, Kevin Corrigan, Jon Wurster, Todd Barry, Videogum's Gabe Delahaye, Donald Glover, and a slew of other funny folks depict the The Rise and Rise of The New Pornographers for one of my favorite music videos of the year so far. Enjoy director/comedian/radio host Tom Scharpling's take on "Moves," the opening track off TNP's 5th LP, Together , above.
Filed under: New Releases Gary Wolstenholme, Redferns In a roundabout way, if wasn't for an opportunity to sing with Canada's Feist , Nicole Atkins may not have got back up on her feet so quickly and into a recording studio to make her new album, 'Mondo Amore.' The New Jersey singer-songwriter behind 2007's 'Neptune City' was hired a few years ago to sing backup for Feist on 'Late Show With David Letterman,' which led to [...]
Here is the latest and greatest in musical fun to watch and listen to online. All of it is free! Okkervil Newman Two of my favourites collide as Okkervil River are joined by A.C. Newman to perform the great new song "Wake and Be Fine" (from the upcoming album I Am Very Far ) on the Jimmy Fallon show. The Roots also join in the all-star fun. Video found at Pitchfork . She & Him [...]
While last year Okkervil River served as the backing band on psych-rock legend Roky Erickson's first solo album in 14 years, we haven't heard anything in the way of new music from the Austin-based act since 20082s The Stand Ins . On May 10, the "Smart-Rock" act will release their first new album in three years with I Am Very Far via their long time label Jagjaguwar. Earlier this week Will Sheff & Co., with the assistance of A.C. Newman of The New Pornographers, stopped by Late Night With Jimmy Fallon to debut [...]
It's been three years since the last Okkervil River album. On May 10th that all changes when the band releases I Am Very Far via Jagjaguwar . It features 11 new songs, produced and arranged by frontman Will Sheff in Austin, New York City and Connecticut. On Monday, the band performed a new song called "Wake and Be Fine" on Jimmy Fallon. They got help from A.C. Newman (New Pornographers) and members of The Roots. Check out that performance, below via The Audio Perv : [...]
The name of Okkervil River's new tune is "Wake and be Fine" from the forthcoming album, "I Am Very Far", to be released May 10th, presumably by Jagjaguwar . The release comes in time for the summer concert season and the billion music festivals that seem to be sprouting up everywhere. Watch out for the New Pornographer, A.C. Newman, in the video. He lends his vocals to song and the added percussion from ?uestlove really gives the song some punch. Okkervil River-Lost Coastlines [mp3]
Earlier this year at a solo show in NYC, Okkervil River frontman Will Sheff debuted some new tunes that were a-tumbling around in his head, which he said at the time may or may not become proper Okkervil River songs. But last night on Fallon, the band broke open a piñata of new treats, including the title for their forthcoming album, the release date, and a brand new song featuring A.C. Newman from The New Pornographers, a small string section, ?uestlove augmenting the drums, all couched in a power pop waltz that's one mighty [...]
