The National are a great band we should keep discussing.

[u2popmofo]

Those douchebags better come to Utah for this album, or I'm flying somewhere to finally see them.

 

[gump]

This is great news. Can't wait for the new album. I'm catching them at the Barclay's Center, that should be good.

 

[Imperor]

Those douchebags better come to Utah for this album,

Go see St. Vinny + Byrne. Just announced today. You won't be sorry.

Come to Seattle. I'll get you drunk and we'll download some torrents.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Come to Toronto. I'll get you drunk and we'll go eskimo tipping

[iron yuppie]

Fantastic news. Now they just need a Chicago date.

 

[PhilsFan]

Come to Philadelphia. The show will probably get canceled and we can pass out drunk in the parking lot outside the Sports Complex.

 

[LemonMelon]

Fantastic news. Now they just need a Chicago date.

It's going to be Lollapalooza, unfortunately. I would say Pitchfork, but the headliners have already been announced and the National would headline over Belle and Sebastian at this point.

Oh bloody hell, I hadn't even thought of that. I really, really don't like Lolla, but I would make the trip for Matt & co.

 

[LemonMelon]

I'd try to meet up, but there's no possible way to find anyone at Lolla.

This fucking blows. I've seen the Nash twice, neither in a headlining spot. The other possibility is that they're skipping Chicago entirely, which would also blow.

 

[nielsgov]

Great news.

 

[BoMac]

Will probably fly back home to Montreal for this one. May decide to stay a full week and see Bloc Party as well.

 

[intedomine]

Can't wait!

 

[cobl04]

Fucking awesome.

Hope they're back here within the year.

The National to Release New Album in May, Announce Summer Tour | News | Pitchfork

Couple months away.

Fuck yes. Even sooner than I thought. The most anticipated album of the year for me right there.

07-02 Zagreb, Croatia - Salata

Oh they just love us here.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Told ya.

 

[anitram]

Yippee! Toronto in June!

 

[bono_212]

Ugh, Lolla again, most likely. I really want to see them on their own. Why would they play the same festival twice in three years. Just do your own show, fuck.

 

[IWasBored]

I see no Boston date. I am most displeased.



Bunbury festival in OH? Bunbury puts on a festival and it's not metal? (And someone other than mofo remembers that dude?)

 

[bono_212]

Oh...I remember Bunbury.


And now I miss him.

 

[djerdap]

Told ya.

I'm very happy to be proven wrong! But I'm still skeptical about a new Pearl Jam record this year. Even Stone Gossard agrees with me.

This has been said before, can't be said enough: screaming from Berninger on this record. Please.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Yeah, I'm just pokin fun. And I agree about the PJ. It keeps looking more and more like 2014.

I can't fucking wait for this Nash album. Sweet nibblets!

 

[intedomine]

I'm not a fan of Berninger's scream, one of the few reservations I have about this otherwise brilliant band. It ruins live versions of Mr November for me... and Abel has never really blown my mind.

 

[djerdap]

Heresy. The climax of Available is the best thing they ever did.

 

[IWasBored]

Mr November pwns live because of the screaming and mic stand bashing.

 

[djerdap]

Walking into the audience all the way to the opposite end of the hall as well. Berninger is such a great and unique frontman. For such a downbeat band, they're tons of fun live.

 

[phanan]

I'll take a couple of screams to mix things up as well.

 

[cobl04]

Walking into the audience all the way to the opposite end of the hall as well. Berninger is such a great and unique frontman. For such a downbeat band, they're tons of fun live.

How good is it when he starts screaming on England?

"Cos they're DESPERATE to entertain"

 

[djerdap]

The endings of Afraid of Everyone and Terrible Love as well. High Violet should have really had screaming on the record.
