currently playing: Billy Bragg — A New England

Best of 2003: The New Pornographers — Electric Version

It's the new sound that the hip kids are calling 'joycore'! Songs shouldn't have hook after hook crammed into them, but here they do! An official dance! Lyrics featuring spelling bees, the failure of traditional antibiotics, and Bush's daughters! The delectable Neko Case! Far too many exclamations! A record that cannot fail to bring a smile to your face; with a jackhammer if necessary. Go here and here. And you have to get this simply for Testament to Youth in Verse, where the band completely loses the plot at 1:59, and simply sings "no, no no, no" for two wonderful minutes.
