Matt and I saw The New Pornographers Wednesday night and they were amazing. The last time we saw them in concert was five years ago in Brooklyn and the show rocked then, but I think they've definitely improved with age. All the bandmates were there including: Neko Case (the pipes), Carl Newman (the brains), and Dan Bejar (Bob Dylan on crack). It is pretty remarkable that they were all together---each of them have had very successful solo albums in the last few years. They played a great set for almost two hours. Maybe it was the combination of not having slept for two nights before, but I was delirious with pleasure and danced the whole time (with two of my favorite fans: Bea and Karin). I don't know about you, but a really good concert can sustain me for months. Check out "Letter from an Occupant" from two albums ago:

I can't believe I missed it. boo.
Thanks for the recap and inspiration. The last show I went to was at CBGB, if that tells you anything. I need to get out in the music scene more, I'm always happier when I do.
hey I know that song! you put in on a mix for me once, I didn't know what it was called though. thanks!
