Toronto was AMAAAAZING. I could have had them go on for another 4 hours, happily.

Sigh. :cute:
 
I ended up having awesome seats. About 10 rows back, just right of centre. When Matt walked through the crowd for the first time and made his way across, he was right infront of me. Pretty awesome.
I too could've stood there for another 4 hours. about 20x better than the last time they came and even that show was awesome
 
That video reminded me: They were quite charming with their banter all night.
Also, that was the second song where Matt came in at the wrong point and the band had to adjust (minor complaint to an otherwise flawless show)
 
October 11.

Alright, so last year the only two tapings I wanted to go to were Okk and St. Vinny. Accomplished both. I have to be there for this. I'm going to pull every string I've got at KLRU (which is two, but still).
 
I bought Austin City Limits Sunday tickets, primary for The National. Can't wait. :hyper:
 
My 9 year-old future brother in law went to Miller Park and now he's singing Abel and thinks alcohol is amazing. Pretty soon he'll want a Penn State brochure.

High Violet update: I dig it.
 
The drumming on the live version of Anyone's Ghost blows my mind every time. Its so subtly intricate. Perhaps Bryan's best drumming to date in my imnasho
 
Though the headline makes it sound like a given, which seems like it may not necessarily be the case after reading the article in full, it'd be pretty sweet to have The National guesting on Sufjan Stevens' new album...returning the favor and all for High Violet: Sufjan's New LP Features the National
 
Sweet. The soundtrack to The BQE was phenomenal, I'd like to see the accompanying film sometime.

Also, "Mr. November" -> "Abel" is a killer mix combo.
 
So I think I've spent enough time with High Violet now to properly evaluate it. Get ready:

I love it as much as their previous albums and refuse to rank them. It's different than its predecessor, sure, but much like Boxer, it came around at the exact point in my life to make it more special than it actually might be.
 
Just came back from their show, amazing as always. We got Available and Daughters of the Soho Riot, so I can't complain. Very special guests: Annie Clark joined them for Vanderlyle; she stayed on with Sufjan for Afraid of Everyone.

Matt was his usual self and actually climbed to the first balcony at Radio City Music Hall for Mr. November. That thing is humongous.

And Terrible Love continues to rock live.
