The National

[Zoo Music Girl]

Noooo! Say it ain't so! If I dislike this gig I don't think I could handle the disappointment. Thankfully, I don't think that will be the case.

How was the setlist? Any new additions?

was just thinking 'what album's Lean on!?' but then realised it's that new one they did for The Hunger Games

glad to see Abel is back! think i'd be quite pissed if they left that out

[Zoo Music Girl]

I have a bad feeling that they'll play Abel tomorrow and not tonight They seem to be alternating tracks.

I haven't heard Lean - will have to check it out.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Gah I really want All The Wine too! Please please please please

[Anders Krogh]

What are the chances of getting a ticket from a tout tonight?

Quite high I reckon. Someone earlier in the thread seemed to think more would be released today? Can't vouch for that though!

[Anders Krogh]

Thanks. Yeah I saw the post about releasing more tickets around lunch time. I'll try that first but failing that I guess I'd better try my luck at the door.

Don't think it's been posted in this thread, but there's a film out on the National currently - (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2737310/) Mistaken for Strangers. It's playing at the Leeds International Film Festival now. Ironically, it's filmed by the lead singer's brother, who's not really into them.

http://www.leedsfilm.com/films/mistaken-strangers/

In a brilliant subversion of the standard rockumentary, Tom, the younger brother of Matt Berninger, lead singer of ascendant indie darlings The National, went on tour with the band as a roadie with camera in tow. A metalhead at heart, Tom is more interested in the people and occasion than the band themselves. Proving consistently ineffectual as a crew member, he’s often treated as an irritant by his subjects, but proves himself a consistently inventive filmmaker capturing a wealth of compelling and intimate, funny and moving footage of the heady experience of a touring rock band on the rise.

Thanks carlosj Not heard about this - sounds really interesting! They're a band I don't know much about as people.

You're welcome. Get yourself to Hyde Park Picture House in t'Leeds tomorrow then

It's currently ranked 3rd film by the overall viewers. I liked 'My Sweet Pepper Land', set on the Iran/Turkey border. OK, so I sound like a lovey, but I'm stewarding and get to see a variety of films for free.

Sounds like a pretty sweet deal!

Yeah I wish I could! Just had a look and it seems it's not on in London any time soon. Will have to get the DVD then.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Yeah, starting to think I spoke too soon with all "my London is the best" bravado. Bollocks to it!

[carlosj]

See! Us Yorkshire folks don't need to come down to that smelly London.

What with that and Wild Beasts looks like you're becoming a cultural black hole!

To be fair Scruffy, I just refer to the place as South South Yorkshire, so no-one feels excluded.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Anything north of Watford Gap is t'north. My friend from Wolverhampton never tires of me referring to him as a northerner.

[carlosj]

Eeeeeee, by gum

[Zoo Music Girl]

You got to feel a little sorry for them midlands' folk. They're southerners, referred to by you lot as Northerners. They don't really belong anywhere.

It's about there that the beer starts to be flat as piss too.

Wolverhampton has a place in my heart though, for it is the first place I saw Nick Cave. God knows what he was doing playing there mind.

Oi! I emigrated to the Midlands from Surrey years ago and love it. Apart from the accent it has a lot going for it!

So are you Nationalling tonight then? Or too hungover? (Yes I am making The National into a verb - deal with it!)

I am sooooo hungover!

You may have turned Nationalling in to a verb but I've turned it in to a soap opera. I still haven't made my mind up!

Im also very angry with myself about last night so need to give myself a stern talking to!

It's a tough one. That's why I put those gigs two days apart because the older I get the worse I am at recovering from a night out.

And I chose the opposite dates for AF and TN because I knew you'd be there, having your tantrums/obsessing over musicians much older than you
