New Releases 8-23-2005

I picked up the porno's and howl....
 
 Ive had both downloaded for awhile now....howl I like, its just a departure, but it grows on you
 
 twin cinema is brilliant..I think Use It and Sing Me Spanish Techno are just two great, great songs

[Relaxer]

Wow, the New Pornos tickets are going to go fast. I also picked it up and am loving it right away. Song #1 has such a great riff. I didn't particularly like Electric Version, but Mass Romantic is in my Top 25 of all time. I loved that disc, and still do.
 
 I also got BRMC but haven't cracked it yet. That's another one where I loved the debut but never really warmed to the second one.

[Random Citizen]

Add me to the "Twin Cinema" lovetrain. Borders (at least the one in Silver Spring) has the new BRMC for $10.99. They had the Warlocks disc as well, but I didn't get it this time. I may have to go back and pick it up. Looking forward to that show with the BellRays.  <img src="http://www.dimpleandasmirk.com/_images/avatar.jpg" alt=" - " />
 
 Also, iTunes added the new Franz Ferdinand track, "Do You Want To," to its store. I listened to the 30-second sample. Meh. It's OK, but it doesn't sound that different from anything on the s/t.

THE BLED - found in the flood
 also came out...but since pass the flask is one of the greatest albums ever...the new one sucks...with the exception of a couple songs.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Based on what I saw this summer, that will leave a lot of people with tickets to a dull show by a band completely lacking in stage presence and sex appeal.

Well, that's sort of true. I saw them at the Black Cat about 2 years or so, and sure, they don't prance around like the Hives. However, they have great musical chops, their enthusiasm is infectious, and the songs crunch even better in a club. Did you see them at a festival? That doesn't count.
 
 And personally, I think Neko Case is quite hot.

I don't like the band, but what does sex appeal have to do with anything?

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Neko Case is  pretty, but she's just not sexy (to me). Do you understand the difference?

i got my copy of twin cinema on saturday through matador, with the bonus 7" track "high art, local news". i didn't have anyone to brag to though, cause none of my friends like this band.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Rock shows are, in part, about eye candy. For me, the artist should be visually appealling. They don't have to be sexy, but should at least be interesting to look at. New Pornographers are neither, to me. If the visual appeal isn't there, why not just stay home and listen to the album?...particularly if the band doesn't really engage in witty stage banter or change up the songs...which is the case with New Pornographers.

Nope, not at a festival. I was front row at their Celebrate Brooklyn show this summer.
 
 And if they were a truly good live band, it wouldn't matter what venue it was that they were playing.

Rhett doesn't allow silly little things like facts to stand in the way of a good contrary opinion.
