I really like all of the New Pornographers' output, you really cannot go wrong if you were to choose only one of their albums to spin. That being said, I think Twin Cinema is a really, really great power pop album. For me, Sing Me Spanish Techno is the focal point of that album. It's an incredibly catchy, driving pop song with great singalong-ability. If you have heard the song, then chances are you know what I'm talking about (and possibly agree with me). If you haven't heard it, I honestly think you're missing out and you can give it a chance here.The New Pornographers > Sing Me Spanish Techno

That is a fine piece of pop indeed. For me Mass Romantic is my favourite but as you say, you can't really go wrong with them. I once tried to see them live in Chicago at a ridiculously tiny bar attached to a warehouse by the river, but it was sold out in seconds.
they are pretty fun in a live setting. i've only seen them a few times, the best of which was when they were sharing a bill with cinerama at bimbo's in sf. their between song chatter was hilarious, filled with self deprecating jokes and laughing at some guy wearing a rush (the band) shirt in the front row.
Just announced they're playing Primavera! Are you in? You know you want to.
