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...

Going to see The National at another of my favorite venues this Saturday night, The Basement. As the name implies, it is a super small, wonderfully intimate venue.If you guys don't have the latest National record, Boxer, you are missing out on some great morose, brooding pop.

Genius filmmaker Vincent Moon produced this music video for "Start a War" off of 2007's Boxer. After dinner in Perpignan, a commune of southern France, The National and their friends break into performance. Dinner guests provide backing on plates, bottles, glasses, and pieces of wood. Moon's camerawork has a way of seating you right at the table for the show. More: http://www.blogotheque.net/T...

so, my dear friend david hyman loves to make fun of the fact that i like "the national". flavor of the month, overrated, they suck, bla bla bla bla. as such, i would like to dedicate this post to david. the song name is somewhat fitting. this is an impromptu jam session somewhere in france. a truly beautiful version of a truly beautiful song.

I've been looking forward to listening to this since I read the reviews on pitchfork (yeah, I know, so not hip to the scene to acknowlege you read it, but come on now). Anyway, it's awesome. Take a listen: This is the kind of music you want to listen to at sunset. Kind of calming, looping rhythms, a seductive voice, a beat that develops and is embued with promise. Basically, very positive. I do...
