The New Pornographers aren't on any shows tonight, because Dan Bejar is busy being better by himself.

i don't know the new porns that well, but my first and second impressions were that while they were excellent, they hit the gas pedal really really hard a bit too much of the time; the shins are certainly no minimalists but they don't seem *quite* as eager to impress which makes them easier to swallow for me

Every song on the new Destroyer album sounds exactly the same! (But I guess if yr a Shins fan, that's a good thing.)
The New Pornographers = much more in common with Basement Jaxx than any of these crappy indie bands. Super pop maximalism.

Although that does beg the question as to whether all music seeks to ingratiate itself by one route or another, some routes just being gnarlier and more flattering to the subcultural vanities of the listener than others ...

Is it true that they're Sub Pop's biggest current band at the moment?
(I didn't think much of the last new Pornographers record, bar 'the laws have changed', so it kind of kept me from looking further into them - from this thread, I'm guessing it would be worth it?)
