Beltmann Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I'm really digging the alternate version of "Terrible Love."Me too. That might be my favorite song of the year (any version). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HungryHippo Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I had no idea there was an expanded edition of this record. I actually just bought the vinyl from Best Buy 3 days ago and have been listening to it non-stop once again. looks like I'll be making that trek downtown for this tomorrow!

u2roolz Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjBDwyhMDqgI had no idea that they were on Letterman. My Comcast doesn't always have the right information for shows like this, so needless to say I was pleasantly surprised. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting night for music. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

augurus Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I'm curious as to what the awful lyric is in Racing Like a Pro. Can't think of anything that objectionable."Sometimes you bake a cake or something." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

solace Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 Good performance but what an awful mix. what part in particular didn't you like? sounded pretty great on my HD TV last night Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kalle Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 what part in particular didn't you like? sounded pretty great on my HD TV last night I just didn't like the way they mixed the drums or bass, they sounded really hallow and lacking in low end. If you compare Coversation 16 to the Afraid Of Everyone performance I think it's nowhere as good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TV performances almost always sound like shit so i thought it sounded quite good compared to most Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cooperissup3r Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 i just think the way they chose to almost totally drop the guitars during the chorus was/is a weird choice. The song felt like it kept stopping/starting, which is totally unlike the album version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renic Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 the only issue i had with the video was that there was no close ups of the dessner lads Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beltmann Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Yesterday I sat down to watch the Letterman performance on my DVR, and was deeply disappointed to discover that twice the local station had technical difficulties that caused the picture to blank out for 30 seconds each time. I'll have to settle for YouTube, I guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The song felt like it kept stopping/starting, which is totally unlike the album version.I noticed this as well and it was a little unsettling for me too. it was cool stumbling across this thread only to find out that they were on tv again so recently. I just got into another big National kick a few days ago and it was a nice surprise. ps: started watching their doc. A Skin, A Night and couldn't get into it at all. have any of you watched the entire thing and care to comment on it? it can be viewed on their YouTube page for free.

I wasn't too impressed. It's a doc that reveals very little about the band. I guess the director was trying to be "arty" but for me it's just tedious. A more straightforward doc--interviews, behind the scenes footage, and live footage--would have been more appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kalle Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 i hate Vincent Moon's full length stuff... both that, the Arcade Fire and REM films make me queasy Totally agree, if I wasn't huge fans of all those bands I would have never bought them. But hey apparently he's a bad person and thief so maybe there's some justice in the world. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HungryHippo Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I just watched the video for Lit Up and that was directed by Vincent Moon as well and I sort of enjoyed that. it flowed a bit nicer than A Skin, A Night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
