Proving once again that Pitchfork is absolute shit.

8/31/2005 4:25:41 PM

I think the album is pretty damn good. it's a more cohesive album than electric version and I don't have mass romantic so I can't comment on that one.

8/31/2005 4:32:06 PM

BTTT they're on Conan tonight.

too indie for the fork!

if somebody tells me a site that has more frequent and reliable news and reviews music that i give a shit about, i would definately check it out

pitchfork has nutted over everything ac newman has done

personally i think the order is

1)mass romantic
2)twin cinema
3)electric version

but i blow loads over all 3

9/17/2005 1:08:16 AM

that was ok, but i think "Use It" is one of the weaker songs on the album.

i really dig Zumpano, Carl's earlier band. been spinnign them a lot lately.

9/17/2005 1:33:07 AM

i saw ac newman this summer at intonation and it was just ok...i loved being able to see him but the music didnt translate great live

thought the same thing tonite, still looking forward to seeing them in a month

9/17/2005 1:39:00 AM

I've been listening to this a lot lately, and I found it to be much better when I dropped my expectation that a NP album is all about seventeen million hooks per second. It's more of a harmony-hook record.

It's still my least favorite of the three, though.

9/18/2005 12:29:37 PM

still good in my book. been listening to mass romantic alot lately though and it's pretty solid. AC Newman knows how to write a pop song, that's for sure.

just took a looksee over at the cat's cradle schedule and

"THIS SHOW IS COMPLETELY SOLD OUT"

10/4/2005 7:16:19 PM

im seeing them on the 21st so if you have negative comments please dont post them until after that

k, thx

10/4/2005 7:30:49 PM

fuck the haters. there is no possible way I will not enjoy this show.

10/4/2005 7:37:04 PM

i agree

though i really dont think their songs translate that great live

at least from what ive heard of the new pornographers live, and what ive seen from ac newman live

but i dont care, i still cant wait, and i get to see the decemberists the night before (both walking distance) and am going to south bend for the ND game the next day!!

If anyone has any extra tix, I'll pay whatever is needed.

10/5/2005 8:52:17 AM

i saw them on monday in denver. it was an incredible show. they played almost every single one of their songs and came out for two encores. if anyone is going, you are in for a great show.

10/7/2005 12:43:03 AM

That is definitely a pic of the decemberists. I saw them in Asheville last week and they were fucking awesome.

This was the only show this fall that I truely wanted to go to and can't make it.

10/15/2005 7:59:28 PM

It's gonna be awesome. Big ups to tommorrow night.

10/15/2005 10:32:31 PM

I was just thinking to myself, if they were to pull out any covers, who would they possibly cover? I'm not really familiar with any of their influences.

10/15/2005 11:41:22 PM

I know they've done "Graceland," "Cruel to be Kind," and a bunch of Heart covers.

10/15/2005 11:49:27 PM

Fucking great show, everything I could've wanted. The new girl adds some nice intervals to the harmonies.

10/17/2005 12:59:49 AM

Pretty great. New girl is pretty too. I liked the drumming.

10/17/2005 1:04:49 AM

everything I expected
fuckers put on a kickass show

10/17/2005 1:08:04 AM

awesome show, Neko is fucking amazing, Bejar's better live (and his progressive drunkeness was hilarious), new girl's friggin hot

10/17/2005 1:11:00 AM

anyone record this?

10/17/2005 1:56:49 AM

I saw someone with a binaural mic in their pocket, so keep your eyes open online.

Bejar was indeed damn good live. His bows after every song were ridiculous.

The dragged a little on "The Laws Have Changed." No big deal, but it tears the roof off when they push it.

10/17/2005 3:36:45 AM

great fucking show. I was in heaven.

10/17/2005 11:42:22 AM

^^ yeah, i noticed that draggitude too.

i got the new Immaculate Machine CD at the show. it's great, i like it better than Twin Cinema.

10/17/2005 11:16:45 PM

4 part harmonies?
i had goosebumps for the entire show- it was unbelievable.

10/17/2005 11:43:46 PM

There were points when six of the eight were singing at once. It was ace.

10/18/2005 2:02:46 AM

yeah, immaculate machine were awesome

10/18/2005 8:55:51 AM

glad everyone had a good time

im going to see them friday in madison, and the decemberists on thursday!

10/18/2005 10:28:56 AM

They (pornographers) were awesome!

but im sorry - that destroyer guy sucked. His band's music wasn't all that bad ,but his voice sounds like a creaky door with rusted hinges.

Some of the worst vocal lines/melodies I've heard in a while -- it had no structure. Everytime he got up there to sing with the pornographers -- I went to get a beer, he threw it off.

10/18/2005 1:10:23 PM

dude was drunk. I loved how he chugged his beer between lines

10/18/2005 1:11:25 PM

yeah i know but even sober and on the record he sounds like that. I went to see Spoon at the Merge lineup about a year ago, and Destroyer played and he sounded the same. #@$@# terrible.

10/18/2005 1:46:39 PM

appendicitis for the NP bass player postpones tonites show in madison

quite the buzzkill

10/21/2005 8:59:03 PM

oh mang, sorry to hear it dude

10/21/2005 9:06:53 PM

I could play the bass.

10/21/2005 11:14:31 PM

they say it is going to be rescheduled in the very near future

heres hoping

10/22/2005 12:25:40 AM

They're doing two dates in London in the start of November and then coming back to the States for one show in Seattle on the 19th before heading to Germany, I wouldn't be surprised if they rescheduled Madison and Minneapolis in that window.
