Ok, to start off, I have two corrections to make. First, in the post " Atlanta Album Preview: Nomen Novum " I had listed what I believed to be a possible tracklisting to Nomen Novum 's upcoming debut album, November , but I in fact gave you the possible tracklist Nomen Novum 's second album comprised of songs they are performing live already. The tracklist for November looks like this: intro / new coke permanent makeup I collect things/pow-pow little witches don't look up my face her body [...]
... Feist , c'est inviter quelques amis à chanter avec soi quand on passe à la télé. Parmi eux, vous reconnaîtrez peut-être Nicole Atkins ainsi que des membres de Mates of State, Broken Social Scene, The National, Grizzly Bear ou encore The National. Et selon The New Pornographers justement, c'est compter dans ses rangs Neko Case et ne l'utiliser qu' aux choeurs, laissant de côté ses talents de composition. Le nouvel album du groupe, [...]
The craving for the new New Pornographers album "Challengers" got the best of me and I bought it online. I've been listening to Twin Cinema for a couple days to quell the anticipation, but it only made it stronger. I listened to the two tracks that are being used to promote the album "Myriad Harbour" and "My Rights Versus Yours", and they satisfied me for a while and then I saw them perform on the Letterman show a couple nights ago and now I have to say I have fully succumbed to the New Pornos Fever. If you haven't heard [...]
Here are three albums that will most likely make my year end best list for vastly different reasons. M.I.A. – Kala ( buy ) Although I enjoyed M.I.A’s debut album, Arula ( buy ), the glow wore off after several listens. Yet the exact opposite happened with her latest effort, Kala . While a few tracks stood out immediately, like the insanely catchy single “Boyz” ( previously posted ), the album itself needs to be digested a few times before its true [...]
I watched the beginning of the Late Show with David Letterman but stepped out before the The New Pornographers got to play at the end but in the back of my head I knew I could rely on youtube the next day to catch the performance. One of my favorite NP songs. think tank
I put up a review of Challengers a few days ago and almost immediately took it down entirely because I was unhappy with it. This is attempt #2, and it's really only here because I wanted to write it. I owe attempt #2's existence to Bill of I Rock Cleveland , who wrote a review of Challengers suggesting the New Pornographers' had suffered from what he deemed " Sky Blue Sky syndrome." I always love Bill's reading reviews because he has a knack for cutting through other people's [...]
The New Pornographers performed the lead single from the recently released Challengers , "My Rights Versus Yours," on Monday's episode of The Late Show with David Letterman . While a pleasant track, neither Stereogum nor Pitchfork 's Marc Hogan had much to offer in the way of commentary in terms of the performance. The single doesn't ring with as much enthusiasm as previous recordings; that combined with the level of excitement offered by the band's live performance (or lack of) make me question whether or not The New Pornographers are becoming indie rock's [...]
New Music looks at the latest album from The New Pornographers today, released yesterday and titled, Challengers This is the 4th full length effort from the so called "supergroup" made up of Destroyer's Dan Bejar, A.C. Newman, and Neko Case among others. A.C Newman again takes care of the majority of the songwriting on this album, penning [...]
Download: The New Pornographers - "My Rights Versus Yours" The New Pornographers are kicking off promotion for their just-released-as-of-today LP Challengers and made an appearance on TV's "The Late Show With David Letterman" last night (August 20th). The band performed "My Rights Versus Yours", which is Challengers ' lead track. You can see the video of the performance at the top of this post. (Jonathan Graef)
Since Dave is notorious for scripting out his entire show on cue cards, you can't really blame A.C. Newman for seeming to have done the same for the New Pornographers performance of this song. Dude did just get married, so he has better things to do than, you know, remember the words to his own songs. As for the age old "What all New Pornos showed up?" question, it's a yes on Neko Case but a no on Dan Bejar.
It's been a few weeks since Carl & Christy's got hitched , so the New Pornographers had ample time to rest up after the NP nuptials and bring Challengers to Letterman's live studio audience last night. There's a Neko but no Destroyer (not with them on this NYC trip -- sorry Bowery Ballroom -- choosing to join for the Pornos' jaunt through the city for October's Webster Hall shows instead). Watch Mr. Newman's picking hand after the pick-up, rocking that power-pop shuffle. And while you're keyed in on Carl, note the downward cast eyes. And [...]
See below for The New Pornographers' performance of Challengers tune, 'My Rights Versus Yours', from last night's taping of The Late Show (Letterman). MP3 of track at bottom. MP3: The New Pornographers - My Rights Versus Yours
The New Pornographers played "My Rights, Versus Yours" on Letterman last night. Neko is looking good as usual. Challengers comes out today kids, if you didn't buy early and get a bunch of extras pick up your copy today - we suggest the vinyl.

[Video] The New Pornographers - My Rights Vs. Yours (live bei David Letterman) Das ist aber eine tolle Überraschung am Morgen, Neko Case und Kathryn Calder zusammen auf einer Bühne. Und Hochzeiten spielen sie jetzt auch? Währenddessen kehre ich nach anfänglicher Enttäuschung mehr und mehr zu Challengers und seinen langsam zündenden Hooks zurück, wenn man erst mal begreift dass das Album andere Absichten verfolgt als sein Vorgänger braucht man sich auch nicht am Vergleich der beiden so sehr aufzuhängen. Kann man natürlich, ändert aber nichts [...]
