The Download
Musicians might not have a 401(k) to fall back on, but at least they can make a small fortune on eBay. A corset worn by Neko Case recently fetched $300 for charity, but don’t expect the alt-country goddess to open up her hamper to the highest bidder just yet. Her side project with A.C. Newman and Dan Bejar, the New Pornographers, is readying Challengers for an August release. Head over to the band’s site to download the first single, “My Rights Versus Yours.” Full of sputtering guitars and impeccable harmonies, the album’s opener suggests the members of this Vancouver nine-piece won’t have to resort to the shirts on their backs anytime soon.
