THE NATIONAL--POST HERE

Welly well I'm so excited to have the opportunity to see THE NATIONAL live at the crystal ballroom in Portland on 1 October. It's about fucking time, the last time they came around here was a couple months ago and it was a 21 + show which I could not attend. If you haven't heard them, you must be living under a fucking rock by now! LISTEN TO THE NATIONAL, CRY, BE AMAZED, ALL HAIL THE MOTHERFUCKING NATIONAL!!!!!!!!

Hell yes!!! Disorder is also my favorite Joy Divison song too.... is it just me or does anybody else hear the Joy Division in The National?? I pick up a tribal drum beat similar to that of Joy Division... and The National's vocalist has almost a baratone quality similar to Ian Curtis'.

Favorite tracks on this album are Fake Empires, Mistaken for Strangers, Start A War, Slow Show... you know I just can't put them in any order. I love this band too much.

So the show was really amazing. St vincent opened for the national (I don't really like her muisic I actually stepped outside to smoke a joint while she played her set).....

The national put on a good show opening their act with Start a War...the audience was so receptive. I personally had chills going down my spine..
