The National

the emo is strong in this thread

I have to find something else to amuse myself now the Nick Cave thread is done with.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Fair point. Maybe I'll just go for a full-sized image of Matt Berninger's face on my torso. Jed Maxwell style, then....

Do it!

I LIKE DAVID COPPERFIELD, TOO!

I reckon you could get some talented person to mock you up one of Matt's face. Then you could just take it along with you.

Nick Cave is not in that list! Therefore it is invalid.

Tattoos?

"My Middlebrow Fuck-Up"

"I leaned on the wall, the wall leaned away"

"Summe Love and Torture Party"

A bit shorter for you.

Briliant. The two acts mentioned in their write up are Leonard Cohen and the Cure.

That is why the National are fucking ace.

'I'm really trying to shine here'

Still think you should go with Matt's face though.

[carlosj]

How about, "put me in a chair, fuck me and make me a drink."

Call me old fashioned, but at least you should add 'please'. ;-)

Which one? There were several. .. lol (although others weren't)

You know, the big guy with 70-odd pages

I'll no doubt be posting in it when I get my album this week!

[Dog Burger]

Today's listening while I'm at work...

[Zoo Music Girl]

Gah, it's a never-ending supply of lovely things to listen to.

[Dog Burger]

Gah, it's a never-ending supply of lovely things to listen to.

Yeah they just launched into Sea of Love to a big roar from the crowd and I got the chills, had to down tools and watch the whole song while imagining that on the Pyramid at sunset. Woooaahhh.

Thank you for posting this latest batch Finally had a chance to sit down and properly absorb them tonight (although I clearly have the kind of job that allows me time to spend hours on this forum, it's more tricky for me to listen to and watch stuff at work).

Anyway, predictably they are all great so I am clearly going to have to spend some pocket money at iTunes to get my own copies. Exile Villify is my favourite I think. There's something weird about Lean in that I love it and think it's beautiful when I listen to it but forget it almost instantly afterwards! This must be rectified with further listens. I think it's like TWFM - I had to work at that album a bit to really love it, but in the long run it's more rewarding. The band sections of the video for Think You Can Wait reminded me of the amazing visuals they had at their gig, which I'd almost forgotten about. Not sure if you'll remember those

I love the weird gravy thing too! It's super-catchy. I need context though - what's it for? An advert or a TV show or something? They do seem to be a band with fingers in many pies.

Anyway, cheers again. I have a fairly serious habit now I reckon.

Edit: This is Rebecca by the way; I changed my username on a bit of a whim.

Bob's Burgers. They did another collab with them last thanksgiving, too. cf. The original.

Bob's Burgers have a song/musical number at the end of every episode in the credits, similar to the coach gags/blackboard lines in the Simpsons, I guess. St. Vincent also did a song too.

I really like Bob's Burgers

[Zoo Music Girl]

Ha - thanks Tuna, that one is even better! Brilliantly sinister, particularly for a vegetarian like myself

But WTF is Bob's Burgers? It's a US TV program I assume?

[Tuna]

Yeah. Used to be shown on E4, occasional reruns at like 3am. Quality programming. (genuinely)

Glad you liked them all

I know exactly what you mean about Lean, it's stirring, and sad and beautiful, but yeah, it does dissolve from the memory. Trouble Will Find me is a real grower - it gets its hooks into you and before you know it you are listening to it, literally, every day like an addict. Maybe that's just me...

Yeah, I realised it was you, Kylie - what's the new name a reference to?

And, oh, you're a fellow veggie, too. This gets worse... please tell me you're actually a burly man, named Brian, with hairy shoulders.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Really? Never would have recognised you from your avatar - you look so different!

I was going to change my avatar too but thought it might blow your tiny little minds...
