They've also done some great videos. I already posted the video for
the new album's first single, "Civil Twilight":

And here's another for the first single from the last album,
RECONSTRUCTION SITE, "Our Retired Explorer (Dines With Michel Foucault
In Paris, 1961)":

And a live performance of another favorite from that album, "One Great
City!":

Also, the Weakerthans took part in a tribute album to the Rheostatics
(great, hugely influential Canadian band who broke up earlier this
year), which is available only as a digital download from Zunior.com.
Their cover of "Bad Time To Be Poor" smacks strongly of another of
Winnipeg's favorite sons, Neil Young, a la "Like A Hurricane":
