Carl Newman Reveals New Pornographers LP Details
"We're like Fleetwood Mac if Dylan joined."

The notion of a fourth album from a band like the New Pornographers— the side-project-gone-amok that, among others, harbors principal songwriter Carl Newman, Destroyer's Dan Bejar, and titan-voiced troubadour Neko Case— seems an almost impossible feat. It's hard enough keeping centrally-located bandmates together, let alone riding out the schedules of so many otherwise-occupied musicians over the many miles that separate them.

But against the odds, Newman tells us that the band's fourth LP of dashing, deftly crafted pop will be out in August, and will almost certainly be titled Challengers.


FUCK. YES.

Edit: Argh. The most commonly asked question in the universe is being rehashed in the Angelina thread. It makes me want to post a link to the first page of the thread.

Yeah, that irritated me too. Stupid people piss me off.

That's the only post that user made, too.

I wonder if it's someone we know...

poorfrances hasn't posted since March, if that's who you're thinking. Personally, I vote US Weekly reps.

Well, that's 'cause she got banned (woooooooot).

I dunno, just the combination of the random post from god-knows-who and prostiturtles riff about bio-parents having too many kids...ugliness, and it's the same ugliness as before. Like, get original with your hate, y'all.

She got banned? When? How did I miss this? I would have thrown a party!

There's something about Angelina and everyone trying to tell her what to do with her life and parenting that makes me want to shout at them to leave her alone. There's just too much room for controversial bitching about her.

Yeah, around the time the Britney thread got closed for the second time. [livejournal.com profile] vwlphb did a brief post about it.

I agree about Angelina. And no one's going to change their mind about her, so the arguments are just rage-inducing for no good reason.

I feel stupid for taking part in the rehashing of the "why doesn't Angelina adopt from America" question but it does seem like a normal question to ask. But I agree. It's already been asked to death. Angelina and Brad are damned if they do, damned if they don't.
