The New Pornographers - Twin Cinema  

It's time for some power pop after wallowing reading the news and listening to Gene Clark.  

I have a handful of albums on both cd and vinyl. This is one of them. 

My friend Tony introduced me to the New Pornographers, putting a bunch of tracks from this album on a mix cd for me. It was 2005 and we were still making mix CDs then. He's a ridiculously talented musician and I remember him telling me how much he liked the harmonies and drums on this. On first listen I was hooked. I went and bought the cd. We then saw them at the Gov shortly after this release and it sounded fantastic live. It was a small crowd but I remember thinking it was one of the best indie gigs I'd been to in a while (along side Deerhoof who we also saw). I put this cd on in the car sometimes when I need a bit of pep. Yes my car still has a cd player.

We were in Big Star Magill a couple of years ago and someone had sold their indie vinyl collection. A lot was not my cup of tea but this original was there. I almost didn't buy it thinking I didn't need it, but I'm glad I changed my mind.

It's now given me the pep to go brave Ikea.
