fanlistings
According to tfl.org, "A fanlisting is simply an online list of fans of a subject, such as a TV show, actor, or musician, that is created by an individual and open for fans from around the world to join. There are no costs, and the only requirements to join a fanlisting are your name and country. Fanlistings do not have to be large sites (although some are), they are just a place where you can sign up with other fans."
the new pornographers
Please excuse the summary shamelessly stolen from
Wikipedia for now! D:
"The New Pornographers are a Juno Award-winning Canadian indie rock group formed in 1997 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Their sound is highly influenced by such
power pop bands as The Cars and Cheap Trick,
although their songs are generally of a greater melodic and harmonic complexity. Carl Newman, who writes most of the band's material, has said, 'When I
seriously started to try to write songs, my main influences were, like, Burt Bacharach, Jim Webb, and Brian Wilson. Those were the guys I kinda looked at their
music and went, 'What the hell are they doing here?' I was just fascinated by the structures and the harmonics.' The melody of the first and eponymous track on
their second album Electric Version, for instance, begins with an arpeggiated diminished triad—a rare and strange opening flourish for a pop song.
The New Pornographers are frequently referred to as a supergroup—or an indie supergroup—because of the members' associations. Newman, however,
doesn't care for the term, explaining: 'I'm really tired of that supergroup label, and I wish people would stop using it. None of us were known at all outside of
Canada—I just don't think it's accurate.'"
Band Members, as of August 2007: A.C. Newman, John Collins,
Kurt Dahle, Blaine Thurier, Todd Fancey, Dan Bejar, Neko Case, Kathryn Calder
