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"
9 months ago

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...

The National - The Virginia EP Review
about 1 year ago

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 [...]

NEW EXCLUSIVE VIDEO INTERVIEWS w. Matt Berninger from The National~ At Happy Hour in Brooklyn

A couple weeks back, on a hot and steamy day in Brooklyn, I met Matt Berninger from The National at a quiet bar with a permanent all-day happy hour. Matt had just returned that week from an extensive European tour and he was just recovering from jetlag and months of bus living. We grabbed lemonades and brews and chatted about things most people don't already know about his album "The Boxer", hi...

Ah, our need for order and lists! My best of 2007 in music.
about 1 year ago

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...

The National - Taking that Ohio angst global
over 2 years ago

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. Tonight @ The Wiltern if you are in the Los Angeles area...gonna be a...

Fellow mogger Ciana and I went to see the National @ The Wiltern on Friday night....great show...as a fellow Ohioan, they did me proud...St Vincent was not so great...she had moments, but I think she was a little too ambitious with her multi-instrumentation!But the highlight was as we were leaving...and just like a line from 'Start A War'...we saw C-list celebs and ex Newsradio costars Dave Fo...
