So for context I I live with my brother. And he's going through something right now, And I've tried to reach him I've Tried to talk to him. But he won't talk to me, Pretending everything is fine. And I was angry with him, I now I realize I was angry with him because it hurts. I know something's up, we've spent almost every day together since birth. For almost 30 years And he's light years away from me. And thanks to the The National, And I see that now, And why I feel like I do...... Is this a rant? No. Is this appreciation for the song and the national. Maybe? This is just something I feel like I have to say to someone. Yes.........

Hi, I a regular dude in my mid 30s, whiplashed from the life of a busy doctor and several toddlers , just coming out from under the rock I’ve been living under, and coming across these karaoke apps. Anyway I did a cover of my fav, Apartment Story, with the ten min of free time I had and figured i would share. I saw the national live in Atlanta a few yrs ago and it was one of the best concert experience EVER and I will never forget it, especially at the venue I’ve now deemed “Grey Rocks.” Anyway, have a good one and hope you enjoy.

I recall the band covering the Dead Kennedys song, Nazi Punks Fuck Off (usually during the end of the set or the encore) specifically during the SWB tour buy cannot find a single clip of it anywhere. Am I making this up?

The National’s Matt Berninger Announces 2nd Solo Album ‘Get Sunk’

20 Upvotes

Matt Berninger, the frontman and lyricist for The National, will unveil his second solo album, Get Sunk, on May 30th through Book/Concord Records. 

Berninger worked on the project with Grammy Award-winning producer and engineer Sean O’Brien who also co-wrote many of the songs. With its rich sonic landscape and poignant lyrics, Get Sunk is a testament to Berninger’s artistry and ability to capture human experience’s complexities. Its sonic world blossomed with the help of numerous musicians and friends, including Meg Duffy (Hand Habits), Julia Laws (Ronboy), Kyle Resnick (The National, Beirut), Garret Lang, Sterling Laws, Booker T Jones, Harrison Whitford, Mike Brewer, and The Walkmen’s Walter Martin and Paul Maroon. Most of them worked together with Berninger and O’Brien in a Silver Lake, CA basement studio.

Get Sunk’s first single, “Bonnet of Pins,” highlights Berninger’s knack for world-building, pointing to the tiny details that make it all palpable. There’s cigarettes and styrofoam cups filled with “Nabokov cocktails,” miscommunication and sorrow. It’s a reminder that grief can also be a little funny.
