The 4/14 New Pornographers Show Should Have Been Cancele

Damn.  When I saw this at 1 AM I wasn't able to find my new favorite emoticon for this board:

 That's really all that missing.
 
 As for two bigs chunks of the band missing, how many tours has Bejar even been on?  One or two?  That's definitely a vast majority of shows without him.
 
 I'm honestly curious: what's the big deal about having Neko there? A pretty voice?  The bragging rights of seeing her on stage?  I don't really get the draw.

I don't either -- that's what I'm trying to say.  I thought they were fantastic without her and that Kathryn did a great job in her own right, but I was offering room for the possibility that since I really don't know what shows with Neko are like, maybe there's something I'm missing that would justify the whining about her absence.  As it is, I thought it was a great show and I didn't really care one way or another about Neko being there.

She has sex on-stage with anyone who asks nicely and then she does your taxes for you.

I knew dcist would whine about it:

I can't imagine that anyone can sing like Neko Case.

the bragging rights, i would imagine. everyone who saw BSS at Lollapalooza in 06 with what, almost everyone there, feels really cool that they did.   if you people all just lived in Canada, none of this would be such a hassle!

or that she's (you know) part of the band

And again this morning.
 
 Then in the car going to work.
 
 Then during my lunch break.
 
 And right now as I type this.

Is that Neko Case?  I'd be pissed if she wasn't on stage last night, either.

Good lord.  I bet...

[godsshoeshine]

to me the bottom line is you have to accept that ac newman is the only member that is ever a sure bet to show up at a np show, unless they bill the tour differently from the get go. they didnt do that here, so no one should have been surprised
 
 now, it takes away from my enjoyment of the band if neko and bejar arent there, and i'd go if at least either are supposed to be there. they didnt bill it that way when tickets went on sale, though
