Calexico Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 On a brighter note...Dolores Caterwauler's new single stalled in the lower 50's chart position way behind Right Said Fred and their 2007 version of classic single I'm Too Sexy. Poetic and Justice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Review: http://thelineofbestfit.com/2007/05/19/the-national-boxer/Inteview: http://thelineofbestfit.com/2007/05/23/qa-the-national/ I actually read the review the other day from somewhere else not realizing it was your blog I think someone linked to it on The National forum, but I don't really remember. Anywho, great interview/review Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marino13 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Over lunch I downloaded two extra tracks off of Itunes without having to download the full album. They are "Blank Slate" and "Santa Clara". I think they are b-sides from the Mistaken for Strangers single. Hopefully they're still available for everyone! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think they are b-sides from the Mistaken for Strangers single. Hopefully they're still available for everyone!they're both really great tracks as well! Blank Slate is a finished and more uptempo version of Keep It Upstairs from the Abel single, which i liked a lot too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chendizzle Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 They've added a second Boston area show at the Middle East in Cambridge, June 22. Now I have to decide if I want to go 2 nights in a row, hmm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Out Of Tune Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Excellent record. One of the year's best, definitely, and I really doubt it won't be in my top 5 by year's end. It's so wonderfully cohesive. Anyway, here's how I rank the National material I have: The National 7/10Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers 8/10Cherry Tree 8/10Alligator 9/10Boxer 9/10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marino13 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 At that rate, the next one will be 10/10!!! I planned a mini family vacation to Chicago around The National show next week. I talk up Shedd Aquarium, Navy Pier, the beach, the zoo, etc, etc., but I really just want to go see these guys at the Metro. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
