I loved the film. I went to the old people's showing on Sunday morning, so the most activity came from me, seat-dancing and singing (in the back where no one could hear me).

Hi. Looking for two GA floors for Wed 10/18. Gracias!

It was so great to see you again, and to hear one of my favorite debut rock records in its entirety. A fantastic show. I'm still laughing at Justin Hawkins' antics and historical digressions.

With reviews like this, consistently, across the US , Ireland, and the UK, this is hardly a band ready for retirement. All the songs from Frankenstein and Laugh Track that I've heard live sound amazing. I'm excited to see them yet again when they head back my way after the UK/Europe leg in...

I was at Homecoming, and the sorta botched announcement about the record drop (which you can see on IG) was hilarious. I'm still not sure if it's tonight or tomorrow night. Matt and Aaron indicated last night that they aren't really sure either. A few hundred lucky people were able to buy...

What a lovely offer but I am in NM. I looked into tickets and flights as late as yesterday and, while it is doable, I decided I might go to their Homecoming weekend instead, so it just was getting crazy expensive. The two Denver shows were the only time I've been in the pit for them because I...

Aaron said in an interview recently something to the effect that though the recording sessions started out slow and difficult, once they had a breakthrough the songs came pouring out, and that he felt like they had enough songs for a Kid A/Amnesiac situation. I have heard 7 or 8 new songs on...

Nice! I’m here for three of the four.

You might lose your mind with happiness. Last night’s show was brilliant. The new songs suddenly sounded like National classics. I could nearly cry just thinking they almost broke up, so I’m really grateful the new record saved them.

Unfortunately, I agree with you all on the new record. But given that Matt was struggling with both writer's block and what sounds like a pretty severe depression, I feel like this is the record they had to make. I do love the opening song, This Isn't Helping, and Eucalyptus, and I'd probably...

Ha, just came here to post this link. Really great piece I read with my morning coffee.

For people seeing only the $1000+ tickets, be sure you've unchecked the Platinum box in the filter so you only see VF tickets. I thought Platinum was all that was left until I did that and then it was easy to see the VF tickets. Of course, in some cases Platinum may actually be all that is...

I can get you a ticket for 11/4, section 305? I mean, are these tickets transferable? The whole thing is so confusing. Except sometimes it won't let you buy just one ticket. Anyway, I finally got a ticket for 11/4. I am so mad about the whole process I almost said screw it. Had to do this in...

It's now the third night of the tour since they added a Friday night date (on sale next Thursday). I will be there on Sunday as well. I might still try for Fri and/or Sat since I am making it a Chicago weekend with friends and other stuff to do there. I tried for Sat this morning and got...

I almost mentioned that but I couldn't remember exactly how it happened the second time. There was also that time I passed by a bunch of people waiting for Robert Smith as I was heading back to my car, so I hung out for about a half hour, got bored, decided 'this is stupid,' went back to my...
