Picked up the Virginia EP and accompanying DVD today.

I've been meaning to get that for months now. About Today on the EP is so good. :bomb:

I am going to see them live in november!!

I wore my Bloodbuzz Ohio shirt today. :awesome:

I only know 1 person who knew what my shirt was......because I told her.

It's spinner.com 'The Interface'

 

i found it randomly on iTunes like last year, they have amazing stuff on there <3

^yeah, I recently found that. Pretty sweet site.

I think my favorite songs right now are Karen and Conversation 16 :wacky:

Awesome. Conversation 16 is my fav. off of High Violet.

The National Plan High Violet Expanded Edition

 

Earlier this year, Brooklyn brooders the National released their album High Violet, which debuted in Billboard's top five and scored a BNM from us. As a victory lap, the National will take theirs on November 22, when 4AD will release a two-disc expanded edition of High Violet.

 

The new edition of the album will feature the original LP on one disc, and another disc with eight bonus tracks-- unreleased songs (like "You Were a Kindness"), live tracks, B-sides, and an alternate version of "Terrible Love". We've got the tracklist below.

 

Also on November 22, the National will release the "Terrible Love" 7" on 4AD. "You Were a Kindness" will be the B-side. And in other National news, tonight in Madison, Wisconsin, the band will play a rally in support of President Obama at the University of Wisconsin, as the 4AD website reports.

:surprised:

I hate when bands do that. I'll just download the bonus disc.

this

My main issue with it is this: the bonus songs are usually tracks that only true fans are going to care about. And chances are true fans have already purchased the album. It's kind of arrogant to think all your fans will buy your album twice.

^ You're right. This is still a very good news. New songs from them = :D !

arrggghh it's R18. Usually I'd be able to go with a parent but this venue has stupid rules... I'll just hope for a wellington show :(

^ Aw, that sucks. I don't really see why venues need to have an age limit anyway.

 

You Were A Kindness was the new song they played at the show I attended! Excited to hear a studio version! :D

yeah I agree. it reminds me of when Radiohead re-released all of their albums (though emi did it without the band knowing). Instead I decided to just buy the songs I didn't have off iTunes, so I'll do the same here (so long as the album isn't Album Only)

in the business i believe they call it "cashing in "

You should be able to swap them in and trade up!
