Good stuff from last weekend’s landmark livestream event, The National Live at BAM, directed by the famed team ofChris Hegedus and DA Pennebaker, highlighting the group’s brand new release, High Violet, one of dozens of great new albums falling out of the sky this month. All videos (beautiful, high quality) from the show arehere. Proceeds from the event benefited theRed Hot Organization.
I haven’t fallen in instant love with this one yet the way I did withBoxer andAlligator, but it’s starting to work on me, I can tell. Love that neurasthenic white boy music.
I like this.
Even a neurasthenic white boy on Trombone. He didn’t look at all like an Antoine.
In addition to The National, some of the people on stage are from Arcade Fire. I don’t recognize the ‘brass players- they may be Arcade-ians, because they have a metric shitload of members.
Speaking of shitloads, The National donated a whole bunch of money to Obama 08
