Should we start a new one? Too late now to say no, it's already started!
Got the latest full length from The National spinning while waiting for the new season of Lost to start in a bit. Alligator. Been listening to this one a lot lately. Loved the EP from last year, a lot. And wasn't too sure about this one at first, but really starting to love it. Full of colorful lyric fragments that stick in your head long after the music stops. You wear your skirt like a flag from the song "Lit Up", which also comes with steady pounding drums and a great celebratory post-punk sounding chorus. Little musical vignettes that make you smile later. Karen put me in a chair ... fuck me and make me a drink from "Karen". No lyrics anywhere to be found in the liner notes or online (probably posted someplace but I didn't try very hard). Sometimes that bugs me these days in the internet age where I've become accustomed to having everything at my fingertips, but in this case I think it's refreshing because it forces me to pay more attention and try to decipher them just like when I was a kid. This one's definitely high on my year end list, even though many people seem resistant, or even immune to their charms. Not me, I'm way too easy
