The New Pornographers - Use It

Let's flash back to the year 2005, shall we?  I'm still in disbelief that it was seven years ago...back then I was twelve years old, turning thirteen, and most of my new discoveries in the world of music came off of the radio.  Detroit's new rock/alternative station, to be exact.  Lucky for me, Vancouver's The New Pornographers had their song "Use It" on regular play, and even as the band slipped off of my radar (and everyone else's for the most part), this tune stayed in my head.  Call it the seven year itch, but I had to have it, and I finally got it.

"Use It" is a fine blend of indie rock and punk, poured over ice in a highball glass.  Oh, my metaphors.  But it's a few things.  Catchy, for the most part, with a high energy level and drums that I am in love with.  And where can you go wrong with a band name like The New Pornographers?  Use it tonight?  Maybe listen to "Use It" tonight, and let me know what you think.  I think it's a throwback to Harvey Danger, but you listen to "Flagpole Sitta" and be the judge.
