Kinda sucks Brent left. Hopefully they'll continue to put out great albums

Menomena and New Pornographers on tour together? While both are great thats a strange pairing. Totally different sounds. Should make for a bunch of indifferent New Pornographer fans and a lot of bored Menomena fans.

Wasn't much of a surprise Brent left. I read an article in a portland newspaper about how those three dudes all hate each other and can't be in the same room together when they make an album. I think it's great we got the records out of them that we did.

Article is entitled "Everyone Loves Menomena...except Menomena!"

Some quotes:

"The band members are barely on speaking terms. Knopf, who plays piano, synthesizer and guitar, doesn’t talk to bassist Justin Harris unless he has to."

or

"Still, that doesn’t mean the three members are getting along; in fact, they spend as little time as possible together"

i could never understand the infatuation with bands like deerhunter, waavveess, girl talk, et al when an indie rock band that can actually PLAY their instruments goes by so unnoticed....

Why do I feel like I've just seen a movie trailer where all the best parts of the movie were distilled down into that 30-sec clip?
