So let's say you start a band. And you put out an album. And it's moderately successful. So you decide to go on tour.
Well, you didn't think that one through too well - you've only got one album, and a few of the tracks can't realistically be done live, at least not when Dan Bejar's missing as often as he is.
Yes, you're the New Pornographers. So what do you do?
Well, you play one of the songs you've written for the new album. Even if it's not in its final form.
Compare to how the song would end up:
(Really, it's just interesting for me to listen to an earlier version of any song and be surprised at what came first. I assumed the 'introducing for the first time' line was pretty much the first thing they came up with, not one of the last.)
