I did see her play Iota maybe seven or eight years ago. During the opener, she stood right next to me, at the bar. At no time that night did I find her the least bit sexy.
New Releases 8-23-2005
I was single, and into anything that moved me. She didn't move me.

i like "twin cinema," but i think that it's not nearly as good as "electric version," which itself wasn't nearly as good as "mass romantic." i undoubtedly like "the slow wonder" better than "twin cinema," that was a fucking great record. and of course the best record ever associated with a new pornographer is destroyer's "streethawk: a seduction." honestly, neko case gets on my nerves on this record. i gotta agree w/rhett a little bit, she just projects too much sometimes. chill out, babe.
the review on allmusic was pretty good i thought. they gave it 4.5 stars, but it seemed a pretty unenthusiastic 4.5 stars. but then again, they give everything 4.5 stars. "which is what makes Twin Cinema an endearing listen, if not a flat-out knockout." that's about how i feel.

Rodney Crowell's new album got universal acclaim on metacritic as well. Why aren't boardies raving about his album?
And Sufjan Stevens new album gets universal acclaim, and what I've heard of it would make me turn it off and turn on a New Pornos album right quick.

Best (and nearly perfect) when taken two or three songs at a time, as an entire album, Twin Cinema overstays its welcome.
It's simply too much of a good thing.
Also, the link was really just to point out the header of "Universal Acclaim."

But he's hell of a lot hotter than AC Newman, despite being twice his age.

Am I the only one who thinks the New Pornographers sound like crap?
…perhaps the makings of a lively debate, no? and I'm not just being contrary. I really do not like their sound…
Shame on her for having a differing opinion! This board should always be about consensus, and sharing the love. Like a Phish concert, with trendier haircuts. :D

You call it contrary, I call it provocative (and interesting).
I for one, can't recall a single thing you said about yourself or your musical tastes in your previous 1180 posts that allows me to distinguish you from the horde of other indistiguishable posters on this board. (though there are a good number who are distinguishable).

i can't say that being contrary on a consistant basis is all that interesting. i call it predictable and sometimes cute. but continue
I can't say that I am consistent in my contrariness. I post so often that it just appears that way. Celeste posts so seldom that it's hard to draw any conclusions.
I will say that it is more interesting to write a post that goes against the majority opinion than it is to be the eight person in an hour to say how much fun the New Pornographers are.

The songs I've heard from the pornographers never really did much for me. However, last night I heard a song off of their most recent that started getting good about two minutes into it. It may have been the first track. I don't know.
Originally posted by econo:Ditto. I really don't like them, or any of the members side projects.

Ditto for me too, as in liking some new song by a band I've never much liked. In fact, was surprised to find out that the song that I was hearing, whatever it was, was by them.
i'd say its more interesting to post truthfully than to write a contrary opinion just to be provocative. three people in a row could post that they don't like the new pornographers, afterall
