Like a hitman,like a dancer

A.C Newman.
Ok so only two songs up on his myspace but you hypemachine him out of it and you'll fall in love with him too.
Get Guilty is A.C Newman's sophmore solo album. To be honest I thought this was his first. I first met his music two years ago when he was still with The New Pornographers (who in my opinion are far superior musically than this solo stuff). But anyway The New Pornographers werent going to last forever so this solo A.C Newman stuff will suffice - that makes it sound like its not good but it really is. (Check out The New Pornographers too if you already havent.)
This live version of 'Heartbreak Rides' was the only one I could find -





Just out of the woods and yelling down the mountain,
all I really wanted was to go downtown
and so we ride.
The hearbreak slides.

She led the modern sunset to your window,
gestured with a plane jane hand,
she said "Let's go."

"Allez!" she cried.
The heartbreak rides for free.

California adds some casual bedlam,
something in the basic swing of things led them to victimless crimes.
The heartbreak climbs.
Playing with your words, a girl and two headlights,
blinders on the interstate, we want the good life.

"LA!" she cried.
The heartbreak rides for free.
