It's in a matter of hours, I just found out now. You guys hooked me up good last time for ideas but this time I'm pretty fucked. Don't mess around, just help me!

Why is it that all the best NP songs are written by Bejar?

why are hardcore Bejar fans so tedious?

Why was Superconductor so afraid to explore the use of multiple guitars?

Neko fans so boring.

Try probing the underlying politics of NP songs with him.

I've always wondered about the religious/Biblical allusions and how he came by 'em...

"So what's your deal? I didn't listen to your album, but I was on the internet and I asked a bunch of people there what I should ask you, and they all just made jokes. But, like, really, who are you?"

Who's better, the Shins or Rooney?

No, it's not gonna be right off the dome or anything - I have the first NP album and a vague idea of his history. But I don't have the new album, haven't kept track of anything surrounding him (I don't know who's making jokes on this thread and who isn't). Internet research is coughing up some stuff but it's pretty zzzzzz.

"So is it 'Stacy's Mom'-time yet, or what?"

― Aaron A., Wednesday, 5 May 2004 04:03 (9 years ago) Permalink

Ask him about the dBs cause they sound exactly lke the dBs, but with a girl singer. Not that I'm complainging about this.

what exactly is his point?

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 04:20 (9 years ago) Permalink

Will we ever get the NP to do a covers collection?

Will they ever do 5th Dimension covers live?

Any hope of Zumpano ever getting the admiration they so richly deserve/Does he like Zumpano, anymore, even?

Right under the wire there, derrick, I'll use those too. You're the one who got me into New Pornographers - are you living downtown now?

― LC, Wednesday, 5 May 2004 06:26 (9 years ago) Permalink

LOL I called him KYLE right at the beginning. I dunno if he caught it though and it went great otherwise.

― LC, Thursday, 6 May 2004 02:52 (9 years ago) Permalink

why were zumpano so much better than new pornographers are?
will his solo album suck? the sample on the matador site does.
why's he using government money for his record? np sells decently, no?

oh wait the interview has already happened.

nope; i'm on the eastside. ooh yeah.

― derrick (derrick), Thursday, 6 May 2004 15:27 (9 years ago) Permalink

Everyone does, even Nelly Furtado. Because it's there.

I love seeing the government logos on albums. Veda Hille's all have the Canada Council logo.

Remember the big flap when the Junos disowned Bryan Adams because his album was made in the UK, he'd moved away, etc. etc? I loved that.

I'm listening to Corey Hart right now, too, fuck. 'Never Surrender' came up on iTunes random play.
