Let's start the guessing game of which track's were written by Bejar. I say "War on the East Coast" and "Wide Eyes." "Champions of Red Wine" seems too on the nose, but wouldn't be surprising.

I think "Another Drug Deal of the Heart" is an older Pornos tune, a B-side from "Together"-era, but I could be misremembering that.

Also, Carl was on The Todd Barry Podcast and said that Dan (and Neko) will be with The New Pornographers on their tour this fall. He (and Todd) also told a few short anecdotes about Dan. Worth a listen if you're a NP fan.

Never really been a New Pornographers fan but more Dan is always enjoyed. Your track guesses seem spot on. How many tracks does he usually have on each album?

He had 4 on "Mass Romantic," then 3 on all the subsequent ones.
