November 7: The New Pornographers - Electric Version
Hm... first of all, if you call your band the New Pornographers, I don't think Wal-Mart will carry your CDs. Just a tip.
This album was very well-reviewed when it came out two summers ago. I bought it, listened to it once, and then promptly forgot about it. Well, it's time to drag it back out.
Apparently this is some sort of Vancouver collective that's all people from other bands. Didn't I do Broken Social Scene, the Toronto collective, a few months back? What's with Canadian musicians getting together in collectives to record albums? Anyway, this has exactly three great songs on it: "The Laws Have Changed," "All for Swinging You Around," and "Miss Teen Wordpower." Coincidentally, those are the songs that best showcase Neko Case, who is apparently the talent in this bunch. The rest is pretty ho-hum.
I believe I'll download those three, and then sell this disc. Ain't technology great?
