The new songs sounded interesting on Pitchfork Live yesterday. Too bad the mix was so shitty.

I gotta be honest, my initial reaction to that new track was a complete and utter 'meh' (not helped by the fact that IT'S COMING OUT FOUR MONTHS FROM NOW). But after giving that Pitchfork concert/whatever a few spins, this shit is growing on me significantly.

It's nice, it feels like it could fit on High Violet. Reminds me of "England" a little bit.

It's way better than England. That's one of their most overrated songs for me.
This album is going to be good. |

They played the new album in full in upstate NY this weekend. There are videos:
The National played their new LP in full at Basilica Hudson shows (pics, setlists, video) |

Isn't it still two months until release?
 What a weird marketing strategy. It almost makes U2's look good.

Between them, and Arcade Fire dribbling out a song a week for no particular reason, I tend toward the 'just fucking release the thing already' view. It's highly unlikely that either album will deserve such an extended drumroll (although I do think the National's promises to be good and stuff).

Man, Aaron Dessner has really stepped up his shit on this album, loving the guitar. Not as sold as Matt on this song but I'm sure I'll warm up to it.
System Only Dreams still the best for mine. |

Any Aussies looking to get presale tickets tomorrow? At $140 including fees I'll probably have to sit this one out.
Looking forward to next Friday's release though, it's been far too long since Trouble Will Find Me. Might revisit that El Vy album in the meantime. |

Mate, I bought Shitney tickets for me and the missus this morning. We're going to the Melb show as well and would have done Auckland but for a friends' wedding.

The National: Sunshine on My B&Ck
Mate, well done for getting your ass to a decent city for the show, good to treat yourself outside of Melbourne once in a while. Hope it's not too rough when you jog on home.
Probably would have stretched to it but suddenly all our disposable income is going on nappies and tiny clothes. Blah. |

Shame we have to get an uber or taxi to the opera house, as your shitass city is designed like a rabbit warren and has no effective public transport. |

It's called Circular Quay Station. I know they only have trams in your village but you must have heard of trains one night listening to the wireless, yes? Whereabouts you staying? |

We'll stay with mates who almost literally live in an IKEA pop-up house in the inner-city, because the price of a small one-bedroom house in Sydney is more than Gina Rinehart earns in a year. |

It's a 500m walk according to google maps. If that takes you a full half hour to walk then it must be due to the sheer awe of being in a leading global city slowing you down, bro. And you know full well it's not the price of the place but the associated avocado tax. |
