The New Pornographers have always had a great sense of humor when it comes to making music videos, putting out some truly  irreverent clips for songs like My Slow Descent Into Alcoholism, Use It and Moves. So it should come as no surprise that A.C. Newman, the indie-pop band’s front man, would also go down that road when it came to making a clip for his latest solo album Shut Down the Streets – which was released back in October. In the video for the record’s lead track I’m Not Talking, which also features Neko Case on backing vocals, the singer-songwriter decided to play on his vintage AM pop sound, as he performs it on the set of what looks like a 1970′s cable access show.
