STRINGS! WHISTLING! TOPICALITY!: Welcome back to KLT5M 109 FM. This post goes out to Jenn. with two Ns and a period in DC.

The New Pornographers (alternate Spaceboy name: New Proggers) have a new single, "The Crash Years," streaming on their Facebook page and available on iTunes. In my opinion, it kind of splits the distance between Electric Version and Challengers mood-wise and tempo-wise, and incorporates some of the "here-are-some-notes-right-at-the-end-of-Neko-Case's-range" shenanigans of Mass Romantic. Actually, it sounds to me like Carl Newman has been listening to his old Elephant 6 records. As you would expect, it's catchy indie pop.

  2. Woo-hoo!  Thanks for the present, Isaac!  Just downloaded it.  Also in Neko Case news:  apparently she and Kelly Hogan have joined up with Jakob Dylan.  I didn't need convincing to go ahead and get tickets for their upcoming tour stop at the 9:30 Club, but for those who do, the reviews out of SXSW are very promising.

  3. Sweet.  I want to see them live, but I should probably not spend ALL of my money on concert tickets.  Frightened Rabbit tickets were pretty cheap though...
