The New York Times is streaming The National’s new record “High Violet” starting today through April 27th.  Check it out at the link below.

They continue to show their creative mettle.  Sounds amazing so far.  And their great song “Terrible Love” (done on Fallon Show as viewable way below) opens the proceedings.

Looking forward to tapping my foot to the band at the Wiltern on May 22nd.  The last time there, Berninger came out into the audience during Mr. November and tightrope-walked a barrier while exhorting the crowd; and pregnant women in the audience went into labor.  National labor power.
