I'm just reading this post now, but I typically don't like the ultra pop sound that comes out of the new pornographers, save a few songs here and there. But, to the dismay of several friends of mine who know my taste well, and to my surprise as well, I have had this record playing almost non-stop. Second to that is Do Make Say Think--Winter Hymn Country Secret Hymn. Good post and I'm jealous that you got to see them, but I did see the Shout Out Loads when they came in May of '05.

I enjoyed the show so much-- 'The Myriad Harbor 'was definitely a highlight for me from the new album!

Totally agreed. It's a defining moment on the record if you ask me --- which is why I want more from her.

She sang adventures in solitude which is probably the best track on the
record

It was a solid set, but I was hoping to hear something from Carl Newman's solo record. Dan Bejar's solo stuff is much better than his New Pr0ns stuff in my opinion. Neko's solo stuff can be hit or miss. Todd Fancey put out a solo record (EP me thinks) that's pretty good too. Catherine, who plays keys and sings, should be front and center -- I can't get enough. Don't know how it was in NYC, but I could hardly hear her in Boston.

I still see no improvement on the old pornographers.

Certainly one of my favorite bands out there right now. That touring lineup is usually the exception to the rule, though. Neko doesn't tour with them all the time and the other guy (Jim something, his name escapes me) is an odd dude who also isn't with them live most of the time. This is probably their best lineup, though. Just a terrific band.

They're kind of an all-star band, so the line up fluctuates and changes both in people and in numbers. When I saw them live in SF on the Belle&Sebastian tour they only had 5 or 6 member. Plus, Neko was on her own tour, so she wasn't with them (which was a downer). Still a great show though. I dig Twin Cinemas much more than the new album.

All of your NP posts paid off nicely for you, and also for the NP's. I know I bought Challengers on Amazon's MP3 service (which rocks) after the 3rd or 4th of your posts about it. I'm still digging it.

I have not heard that group before, but I liked them. Might have to get some songs on the ipod.

Raj Bala and I caught their show at the Roxy in Boston on Tuesday night. They're truly a great live band, given all of the harmonies and layers of instrumentation and vocals. Neko Case's voice was striking.
