According to Rolling Stone, A.C. Newman and Neko Case are assembling demos for the next ensemble record as The New Pornographers. Obviously, no release date is set, and there's not much else we know about the release, but it's still exciting news! The story doesn't end here though. In addition to a new LP from Case (TMT News), Newman is also set to release a new solo album, Get Guilty, expecte...
AC Newman, lead singer and songwriter of The New Pornographers, is set to release his second solo album, Get Guilty on January 20th. This follows up his highly acclaimed 2004 debut solo album, The Slow Wonder (along with many acclaimed New Pornos albums), and is sure to be highly anticipated. This song comes off of [...]

The New Pornographers became the second entity to break the collective hearts of Europe this week. Following in the footsteps of M.I.A., the band has cancelled their dates overseas (and one show in Canada), citing personal reasons.The following message was left on their "Myspace page...":http://www.myspace.com/thenewpornographers"We regretfully must inform you that we have had to cancel our tri...
I have never really given The New Pornographers a chance, no matter how many people have told me that I needed to. A few months ago, I recollected all the fine and decent people who’s opinions I respect and decided to buy their debut album, Mass Romantic, and then waited three months before giving it [...]
.....if that title doesn't get me some hits I don't know what will... ha......and speaking of hits... Canadian supergroup The New Pornographers contains the likes of A.C. (Carl) Newman, Neko Case, Dan Bejar (of Destroyer fame) and more... They make sparkling, intelligent music for people that like some talent to go along with the hooks... I lean heavily towards the Newman / Case side of the NPs...
I saw the NP's on Monday and I have to say that it was one of the best shows I have seen in a long time. I knew Neko was scheduled to be there, but was surprised when Dan Bejar was there as well. I've read many times that he rarely plays with them. He came to Boulder and will come to Denver in November, so I'm contemplating going again.They played mostly stuff from their last two albums, wit...
I had a blast last Friday in Tucson seeing the New Pornographers. Seems like they played almost everything from Challengers and Twin Cinema. And then a fair amount of songs from Mass Romantic and Electric Version.They played so much it seemed that A.C. Newman seemed to be asking his bandmates what song to do next during the encore. Everything I've read about The New Pornographers says that Dan ...
This will undoubtedly get me into trouble, but I have nothing else to write about at the moment, so here goes...I reviewed the New Pornographers album Challengers last week and found it excruciatingly dull. I don't actually like writing negative reviews, whatever people think. This was assigned, because Challengers is a huge indie record and people want to read about it. They probably don't...
As the frontman for the New Pornographers, AC Newman's been stuffing records full of consummate pop arrangements for the better part of a decade. Here comes another one - "Get Guilty" is due Jan. 20 and features cameos by Jon Wurster, Nicole Atkins and Mates of State. Matador included a preview on their fall sampler, Intended [...]
I've been trying to tweek my computer speakers to get the best sound output. I don't have crappy speakers (Harman/Kardon shielded sticks with a pretty good sub-woofer), but they are almost too fancy. There's presets that I can tweek with the speakers, and then there's the iTunes equalizer that I can also play with. Given all those choices, I ended up with a pretty good bass sound, but the voc...
This song really got me going this a.m. on my ride to work.I have been riding my bike to and from work for the last couple of weeks. What with gas prices hitting...ouch...$3.75 a gallon. And what with global warming and all.Yes, I wear headphones and listen to music...No, I don't wear a helmet.I got priorities man.I heard that this song made the cut on the "Heros" soundtrack. It was used in ...
It may have taken 30 plus years, but I know what I want to do with the rest of my life. I want to be Dan Bejar.Seriously...he has the best job in rock n roll...stumble onto stage, beer in hand...BEER ALWAYS IN HAND....sing your song...stumble back off stage. Repeat this maybe 4 times a night...and your work is done.I would LOVE to be a fly on the wall of a New Pornographers band meeting...The ...
