I always feel weird googling The New Pornographers on my work computer...I just hope if I ever get fired for smut it's for actual smut and not perceived smut. Anyways, yadda yadda yadda limited Record Store Day release. Or I should say half-limited, as the title song of this mini-slab of vinyl is from their last full-length "Together". A great song and all, but maybe not worth racing out for. The b-side "A Drug Deal of the Heart" is a new track though, and a pretty good one at that. Yeah, it sounds just like the bulk of their catalog, with AC Newman leading and being backed by Kathryn Calder probably. But I like the bulk of their catalog, so that's a-ok with me.
By the way Tom Scharpling made an awesome video for "Moves", starring a ton of comedians. Of course Jon Wurster is in it, but Kevin Corrigan as Dan Bejar was inspired casting. And Todd Barry as a record store clerk. And they have Wyatt Cenac in the band, for reasons unexplained. Well, it's funny, I guess that's all the explanation you need. Watch it here.
