Musical Monday!!!

Hey chickadees and chuckadoo - now that we're all friends here, I think it's time to do something with you all that I do when I make friends with new people in RL: introduce you to my favorite band. Presenting: The New Pornographers. I know Mox and smartE are familiar. ;)


One of my favorite early songs



One of my favorite newer songs

If you love this, they're all over iTunes, and you can visit their website. This is the only band I will pimp, but I don't promise this is the only time I'll ever do it. I love TNP with the heat of a thousand suns.
TNP opening for Death Cab for Cutie last year at the McMenamin's Edgefield. TH took me for my birthday!! Best. Birthday. EVER!

So, had you already heard of them? Are you converted??? I promise I will post something vaguely Twilight-related soon (although the pic above was taken at a Death Cab concert and they were on the New Moon soundtrack, so there's your connection. PHEW! Vaguely Twilight-related after all!). Happy (musical) Monday!

Well I liked them! And I'm going to Twilight them up but saying the lead singer reminded me of Victoria! Her coat would have been a good look for Victoria.

now Mr. ATP is an official music expert (inhisownmind) so I am going to insist he listens to this tonight and give his opinion.

Sounds like it was a great birthday idea! Go TH! -TT

well, i definitely have heard of and read about this band. I never sought them out personally, but they have been all over my mojo magazines. If I was at a club and they opened for the band that I went to see I would turn to my friends and say this band is pretty cool and buy their CD.

I would let them open up for my band.

Well, helloooo there, Mr ATP! Here at CheaperThanTherapy we always welcome husbands, and I'm glad you made it over to check out TNP! I'm sure they would be flattered that you would let them open for your band.

I find a lot of people say they've heard *of* this band but not heard them, which is why I like to pimp them. Mass Romantic may be my favorite album OF ALL TIME. I'm no expert, just a fan.

Thanks for stopping by (and thanks, TT - the lead singer is Neko Case, she does solo work, too)!

Hmmmm someone mentioned them once and I sought them out and actually downloaded one of their songs. I am not sure if it was you, Mox, or someone else but I liked them alot. I love when people pimp music - I love to find new stuff. Thanks

I had never heard of them before, MB. I agree with DD. It's nice to find new stuff.

Very cool that it brought Mr. ATP out to play, too ;)

@Mr. ATP - Go Cardinals!!
