Finally an upbeat single! Drum intro = soft version of The Queen Is Dead. But yes, finally an upbeat single. Well done, Matt (and his gang). Album is out next week! It's been a long time!

Nice one, Lennon! Have you noticed the "download" button on left above the page? npr.org music is going to broadcast them performing their new album live for the first time coming Tuesday night, but 8 PM (Eastern time) means 2 AM for me? Sorry matt, you have to miss me this time.

This leaked over the weekend. I've given it two listens thus far and am happy with the results.

It's the way Itunes and Spotify handle music sharing. Once you're slotted into a particular day or time, then that's it. If you want to change a release date then you have to give them word within a week in advance. Because in the end, with any album there are a million parties involved. There are factors such as whether the artist has signed up for interviews, events, licencing. For a large act like the National, there are too many mechanism involved to push up a release date at the last second.

All the people I know who discovered the leak have already bought the pre orders and vinyl and concert tickets. The National are making money. Nobody outside fans are seeking it out.

meh. gotta keep it real--- guess i expected a little... more. maybe the studio versions will do it for me.
i will say this... it took a lot of balls for them to go out there and do the whole thing live before it was released. gotta give them props for that.

10 minutes to go. who else is listening tonight? I was in my warm bed, dreaming of Matt. matt: 'i screwed up the first verse. the first verse was wrong. let's do it again.' Aw, he did it again. He should have left his wine in backstage. You can listen to it again on here: www.npr.org/event/music/545815805/the-national-first-listen-live-presented-by-world-cafe-and-npr-musicnpr.org music is a truly fantastic website. It's where I discovered The National 10 years ago by an accident. I was looking for new music and found they broadcast The National gig in "all songs considered". and I just saw they're streaming Husker Du box set. Since BBC radio has no longer Evening Session and Peel Session, npr.org music is the place where all the music lovers are gathering.
