Id been told for years to check out "The New Pornographers", a Canadian "Supergroup" with my indie darling Neko Case as one of the vocalists. I like Neko so much, I was scared. Scared that shed let me down and Id have to take her off her pedestal.

Yesterday I bit the bullet and got all three New Pornographers albums. Fears were blown away, replaced by a smile. This is perfect poptastic rock. Awesome. Havent heard music this, er, FUN, in years. Lyrics are nutty and contain non-sequiters about flying into lesbian rage and such. Who cares? Great guitar hooks and frothy harmonies.

All three records get 5/5 stars.

Damn, its been a long long time since I replayed a band as often as this. Im a huge Neko Case fan and her songs are great--but these are great and just super catchy pop masterpieces.

"Mass Romantic" will be name dropped by hipsters twenty years from now.

Just posting to give the link to one of my new favorite music vids of all time:

"My slow descent into alcoholsm"

Perfect soundtrack for a Saturday night.
