Track:Baby, We'll Be Fine (Live)
I went to Los Angeles with one of my best girls, the ever-lovely Azin, to see the best band on earth this weekend. Will I ever recover?Nope.Brainy - The National | Baby, We'll Be Fine (Live) - The National {update: BWBF becomes one of my fav National tracks when performed in a live setting. The band employs a fuller sound & the result is gorgeous—and although this recording isn't from this wee

Song of the Day: The National - "Apartment Story"
-
Artist:
-
Album:
-
Track:
Hailing from The National's stellar 2007 album Boxer, "Apartment Story" seems almost musically deceitful. A steady guitar drone, organ, and drums propel the song through rhythmically mesmerizing lines about a stereo that "sings to itself or whatever it does/when it sings to itself of its long lost loves".But singer Matt Berninger's lyrics paint an astoundingly compelling portrait of contented a...

Album:Virginia EP
The National's Virginia EP was released on May 20th and the reason I took so long is that I simply forgot to pick it up. I wasn't the biggest fan of Boxer but it did make my top 20 list, like on most magazines. I will admit that my knowledge of The National's previous work [...]

Album:
Well, this year I put much more time into my listening and choices. It was an excellent year in music, and I had a really hard time narrowing albums down to two, top 10 lists (and even more trouble putting them in order, except for my absolute favorites). There is still a ton of stuff I haven't gotten to, but towards the end of the year, I just cut myself off from being able to add new conten...

I have so much love for Matt Berninger and his band. The National are originally from Cincinnati, but moved to Brooklyn to set up shop as a rock band. Way to take the frustrations that Ohio poses to free thinkers and turn it into beautiful music.Brooding, heartfelt songs abound on all of their records and they are great live.
