Christian College Cancels New Pornographers Concert

Christian College Cancels New Pornographers Concert Because of The Band's Name

You may be wondering why anyone could find offense in the New Pornographers’ music, which conjures feelings that skirt the line between happiness and pure bliss.

Calvin College has no issue with the band’s music, but that troublesome name is something of a deal breaker and forced the Christian college to cancel a show that was scheduled on campus.

I don’t know whether to be madder at the cancellation or the fact that Calvin College got the New Pornographers before my school (which shall remain nameless).

According to Pitchfork, a press release from the college explains:

“After weeks of discussion and consideration, the irony of the band’s name was impossible to explain to many. The band’s name, to some, is mistakenly associated with pornography. Consequently, Calvin, to some, was mistakenly associated with pornography. Neither the college nor the band endorses pornography.”

“The irony…was impossible to explain.”

Telling people that the New Pornographers are not actually pornographers (as far as I know) didn’t work?

Levi’s And Urban Outfitters Plot The Last Secret Generator Series Concerts With Deerhunter And Neon Indian

Deerhunter // Revival

Levi’s and Urban Outfitters have united forces to bring free live music to the American public but decided to make a little more fun having people guess where these shows will take place, especially since the shows are all powered by a generator and could take place anywhere. The final two installments of this Secret Generator Series were made just a bit more concrete with the announcement of the final performers: Deerhunter lit up Chicago on September 25th and on October 5th, Boston will get to chill with Neon Indian.

The location information that is currently available is the result of thorough investigative work by Urban Outfitters’ Facebook friends and Twitter followers so now that the events are winding down, you should also keep you eye out for new clues by following the Urban Outfitters Blog HERE, checking your local media or texting SECRET to UOUOUO to guess the mystery locations, which will be revealed on 48 hours before a show.

Minus The Bear Announce Headlining East Coast Tour

Seattle-based Minus The Bear had already announced plans to cover the West Coast of the U.S. but nobody was sure what was going to happen with the East Coast.

The band had scheduled a little jaunt over to Europe with pals Jimmy Eat World for the beginning of November and it looked like East Coast fans would be left out.

Luckily for those fans, Minus The Bear have announced an East Coast tour as soon as their plane touches down back in America.
