    Yep, and the label.

    I see Beggars Banquet own 50% of the stock, which is good news indeed.

    Yay for Cylob!! I've been wanting this a while. =)

    My Matador pick o' the week:



    Electric Version (2003)

    Unfortunately, when examining the New Pornos' catalog, Electric Version often gets overlooked in favor of Mass Romantic or Twin Cinema, which is a shame...though the other two albums are excellent as well!! MR and TC may do a bit more dabbling in different types of song styles and genres, which earns it critics' approval, but when it comes to straight-ahead power pop, Electric Version is definitely their tightest and punchiest set of songs. This album is essential for anyone looking for one of today's best indie bands, but then again, so are all their albums.

    Key tracks:
    All For Swinging You Around
    Testament to Youth in Verse
    It's Only Divine Right
