A National Experience

Artist:
Album:
Track:
Working the REM concert a few weeks ago I was more interested in opening act the National than either REM (love em) or the Mouse (not so good live if you have not experienced). I've been a fan since Mr. November crossed my Ipod last year. Since I have siphoned in everything I can find and have read amazing things about the band live. I was lucky enough to catch half the short set and was especially blown away by the live version of Fake Empire, which is duly represented on... MORE

New DVD + EP From The National

Artist:
Album:
Track:
Blog post image preview One of my personal favorite American bands of the 2000s is The National. Both of their last two albums (Alligator and Boxer) ended up as the #2 albums in the BAGeL Radio end-of-year charts in their respective years(2007, 2005), so it is most exciting to hear that any new National music will be forthcoming. In this case it is an EP of previously unreleased stuff plus a DVD filmed mostly during the recording of Boxer. Hat tip to The Tripwire for the heads up. Check out t... MORE

Current Obsession - The National

If I told my 16 year old self that one day I would like something that sounds like The National, I would have kicked my own ass. But I've had their stuff playing on a loop on my Ipod - to work, from work, in the car, etc. etc.

20: The National - Boxer

Much like a beloved comedy in the movie industry, Boxer, has more quotes and one-liners to offer than Superbad. As if it was written by Voltaire, the level of intellect presented by frontman Matt Berninger is in a league all it's own. Few may criticize the monotony of his vocal stylings, and rightfully so. But for the most part, this album has received incredible reviews, including the prestigious honor of "Album of the Year" on Paste Magazine's '... MORE

Petition To Ban January

Artist:

Other Tags: letterman
Free music video of Fake Empire (7)
January is just such a cruel, cruel month. Maybe not for you guys who were at the mog meeting, but for me it certainly was. Like Joxley already said in one of his posts, exam periods shouldn't be just after Christmas. First of all, it wrecks the days off you have, secondly, it gives your new year a complete false start. So for the past month I have had my nose in the books, at one point even at a pace of a novel a day, and I even had to work whole nights a time or two ... MORE

The big Idolator poll (http://pop.idolator.com/tag/idolator-pop-07/) went up today, agglomerating the results of some 454 critics. I was a participant, and if you have somehow missed my several-month-long pontification on 2007, you can check my ballot here: http://pop.idolator.com/331581/ballot-jennifer-kelly I have mixed feelings about these averagings of critical preferences, since all the interesting oddities get cancelled out and we learn, quel surpise, that a lot...

The National are heavy hitters for 2007's "Best Of" lists for their album The Boxer. Looking through MOG posts for the band, I didn't see one for the video for "Apartment Story," so here it is.

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 contenders. These are the albums that moved me this year, and quite simply, the album... MORE

Great time of the year to catch albums that may have slipped past me by reviewing Top Album of the Year Charts. Found this album on a couple of Moggers lists. Great find!

Seeing all your lists made me feel left out. I did post my list on Dale’s post some time ago………but here it is one more time. While looking at this list thinking that this guy Henry sure knows how to put together a fine list………you can listen to this song. A song that entered my mind while taking a shower this morning. Just to keep it PG-13 I will say that I shower fully dressed. I’ve done so since 1991 where I was attacked by 50 greek women on the island of Korfu, Greece.... MORE
