Scott and I will probably never see eye to eye on The New Pornographers. Looking at Scott's music tastes on MySpace, I'm reminded of a House episode where a doctor said a person's protein (or something) levels were only off by two percent. House's response "If your DNA was only off by two percent, you'd be a dolphin."
My love for The New Pornographers (aside from Neko Case's voice) is the thing that always sucker punches me: the soaring chorus. I believe the power of an awesome chorus is the reason I have almost every genre of music in my collection. And "Sweet Talk Sweet Talk" has a doozy of one. It starts off like a verse fit for a "Glee" episode. And like a Nirvana song, the volume gets way amped by the chorus. It's a familiar formula, but done right, it lifts you to the stratosphere every time. Ladies and gentlemen, the single to beat in 2010.
