The National are a great band we should keep discussing.

[nielsgov]

I'm already addicted to Don't Swallow the Cap. Damn, this has to leak soon.

 

[u2popmofo]

No leaks.

 

[Imperor]

 

[bollox]

I might actually save myself for the physical release and wait until then to listen to this.

 

[Imperor]

I would do the same (found it very rewarding for High Violet), but that box set is gonna be delayed. Suppose I put the download on my phone and plug my phone into my AV receiver.

 

[Danny Boy]

Suppose I put the download on my phone and plug my phone into my AV receiver.

Scumbo will destroy it remotely.

 

[u2popmofo]

With my mind.

 

[Imperor]

Never you fear, I meant the download they provide me on release day.

 

[iron yuppie]

I'm going to wait for the release as well, unless they stream it on NPR or something. As excited as I am for this album, there is a boatload of great stuff coming out between now and then.

 

[IWasBored]

With my mind.

Jedi bastard.


I'll wait til the album is out. Now that I've realized the errors in my old opinions regarding depeche mode, that's kind of all I want to listen to right now.

[cobl04]

They're here for Splendour and then more dates later in the year

 

[LemonMelon]

Oh goooooooooooooooood for yoooouuuuu

Here, they're playing a 60 minute set in a field out of a couple oversized speakers to a crowd of unappreciative, drunken slobs.

 

[u2popmofo]

I hope Australia is overrun by feral cats.

 

[cobl04]

Hey, the ticket will likely cost me around $90. I hope that Twilight park thing you do is overrun by angry koalas.

 

[No spoken words]

I hope you both have to one day spend copious amounts of time with JT.

 

[cobl04]

I think JT and I would be great buddies.

 

[No spoken words]

Ice buddies, maybe?

 

[Imperor]

You can't have a party without ICE.

 

[LemonMelon]

ICE to see you.

 

[No spoken words]

You can't have a party without ICE.

 

[Jive Turkey]

I hope you both have to one day spend copious amounts of time with JT.

I think JT and I would be great buddies.

 

[u2popmofo]

This will likely surprise no one, but I really like Jeremiah Johnson.

 

[bono_212]

I wondered who that was. It's like Zach Galifianakis' bad-ass uncle.

 

[No spoken words]

That head nod kills me. It's the little things that most amuse me.

Hey how about the National and their music??? Right?

You know, seriously, we're so close to this album being released, it's a big deal. Like, some albums come out and I'm happy to listen, but not truly super excited...this one, though, is a big deal to me. Amazing how much love I have for this band, and how legitimately high my hopes are.

Wahay. Hoping they do sideshows in July too, but that may be pushing it.

Man, I seriously hope they don't go up to arenas next tour.

New album soon!

 

[cobl04]

From what I could gather it'll be a one-off Splendour show than back later in the year, much like Japandroids, who did one-off Laneway shows and is back later this year.

 

[monkeyskin]

Yeah saw that the Japs were coming back. Looks like they'll be great shows but I just saw them at Laneway.

Chvrches on the other hand, oh yes.

 

[djerdap]

Anybody seen here A Skin, A Night? It's supposedly awful.
