Does anyone listen to The Weakerthans?

Only got their 1st album from '97 - its still a good one tho

I think their albums are progressively better... their newest one just came out. So good.
I've had a hard time finding other people who listen to them in NYC.

hrm ... maybe its music for roadtrips rather than riding subways?
Just downloaded a song from the new CD, yes I should probably buy it ...

the weakerthans rock. i just saw them a few weeks ago in tucson, az. great band live. reconstruction site is great, although left and leaving is incredible.
i think they're one of the most underrated bands around. john sampson's lyrics are pure poetry.
you can download some songs or stream the whole new album here:

your band made a film, nic? what's this "original motion picture" business about?

ah thats the name of the album nathan - if you knew the band you'd know what a freakin effort it was to get the record done - a total cc de mille production - the title just came from that
>_<
