The National (Part 2) - High Violet & Tour

[BoMac]

Yeah, I found Infinite Arms underwhelming.

I personally LOVED their first two albums and quite liked Infinite Arms and saw them in concert two years ago. Great show and met the lead singer outside the venue where he was having a smoke. Nice guy.

Finally watched the ACL performance. T'was enjoyable. Funny how quick 30 minutes of songs goes by for a band you like, barely even felt like it'd just started when it ended.

"Conversation 16" on Letterman tonight, kids.

 

[IWasBored]

nice

22 days after I move out of the region, my dream concert will be happening in Chicago. How's that for a kick in the dick.

 

[PhilsFan]

The answer is to never move.

Gotta make room for a new golf course

 

[Imperor]

Where'd you get Trail o' Tears'd to this time, Dalton?

 

[PhilsFan]

An attic he shall seek.

I've been all over the place recently, but I move to Denver in early April.

 

[Imperor]

That's right. I was remembering Denver but wanted to make sure.

"Conversation 16" on Letterman tonight, kids.

Yeah, I remembered this about ten minutes after they played it.

 

[u2popmofo]

Thank goodness for the internet.

Thank it now.

 

[PhilsFan]

THANK YOU lNTERNET

 

[iron yuppie]

That was a solid performance. They gave the song a slightly harder edge than I remember it having at the concert that I saw.

 

[u2popmofo]

Was Sujfan there?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

One of the ugly guys from Arcade Fire played guitar and sang backup with the band. He was right behind Berninger. Good performance.

 

[iron yuppie]

No Sufjan, but the guy whom I just learned was from Arcade Fire had some ethereal backing vocals.

 

[PhilsFan]

Richard Reed Parry.

One of the ugly guys from Arcade Fire played guitar and sang backup with the band. He was right behind Berninger. Good performance.

The one that used to look like Napoleon Dynamite?

The one that used to look like Napoleon Dynamite?

hahahaha

The one that used to look like Napoleon Dynamite?

LemonMelon calls him that too. When we saw them at Lolla he kept saying it, but it was lost on me because he doesn't look like Napoleon Dynamite anymore, and I didn't follow the band when he did .

 

[u2popmofo]

Letterman's comment after the performance? "Come back any time."

 

[PhilsFan]

Did they censor "shitty thoughts I think"?

 

[u2popmofo]

I didn't notice any of that, he may have just changed the line. I don't remember, to be honest.

I still need to buy the bonus disc from iTunes or something like that.

"Shitty thoughts" became "city thoughts."

 

[IWasBored]

Yeah, I remembered this about ten minutes after they played it.

i remembered now when i came in this thread.
