Um, what is it with blurghers and this band, The National? I mean, I could be wrong (I'm not wrong) but this shit sounds like it got pooped out by that chick who ran the Freedom School in Billy Jack.

that's why it's so good.
INDIE ROCK, NOT INDIE ROCK, BORING, BORING, DIE!
The National is so 2006.
I have a buddy who parties with and books shows for them, and even he thinks they blow.
I've long thought everything you needed to know about most of these blurghers could be summed up not just by their atrocious taste in music, but their inability to keep quiet about it. Like they think they're really putting you on to something by linking a Sufjan Stevens video.
I'm glad I'm old enough to not have to care about new music.
I just looked up The National at la wik. 6 pages of text about them. Compare to Ernst Röhm: 4 pages. So, at least according to one stupid metric, The National > Ernst Röhm. Maybe you should care!
eh, the national ain't so bad. the band that i've never been able to get is the new pornographers. it sounds like music composed to sell priuses. what the hell is the plural of prius?
anyway, blogging is all about signalling. righties signal all about how they're "realists" who understand the economy and international affiars better than naive lefties. and the progs signal about how much they care about brown people and know who the latest biggest indie rock band is.
Radly Balko is a prog now?
Who cares? METAL!!!
Xathur! All Reflections Drained. (LOL)
Seriously, if neo-bluegrass/post-rock-apocalyptic Nazarene preacher rock (Wovenhand) can get me sane through two hours in a dentist's chair, NBPRAN is the new thing!
Points to their Wikipedia page author for correct use of "comprise." Odd, this, when the band's name consists, irritatingly, of only a definite article and an adjective. The National WHAT, I ask. Also, too bad about the music.
They are an easy listening Indie Rock band. People like easy.
The singer is a baritone. Baritones are often overrated, see also: The Doors.
I don't hate them, I can listen to them. They aren't terrible. In ten years I probably won't remember them.
Yeah, if only all the bloggers listened to... what the fuck does IOZ like again? Oh, right, stuff shat out by some obese seventeenth-century church organist.
The National = Crash Test Dummies.
Dull music with a deep-voiced lead singer is boring no matter in which decade it's sold to a gullible set of anaesthetic listeners.
I know a lot of people who rave about The National, so I checked them out. Pure sad-bastard music.
ahem.
Dull whiny boy indie rock music. It happens. I don't get the Flaming Lips either.
Listen to Big Boi's new album instead. This is a banner year for hip-hop so far.
Hey, it's an improvement over the fucking Decemberists that they were all jizzing over a few years ago.
No...no, it's really not. Hate on the Decembrists if you want but they are, at least, really fun to make fun of!
hopefully some motherfucking Black Keys.
I hate the fucking Eagles, man!
Two good songs: Start a War and Slow Show. Other than that, they suck.
Por el camino del desierto
El viento me despeina
Sube el aroma de colita
Luna, luna de nadie
Ella a lo lejos
Una luz centela
La idea de mi estar
Quedar por la noche...
Such a lovely place...
Someone asked for the plural of prius. It is "priori".
That is all.
To be added to "Wut the hell is up with people liking that gutless, mallrock band Arcade Fire?" and "How tha fook did Wilco furtively capture the Greatest Band Ever designation?" and similar such conflicts of auditory taste and critical pretense.
fundie for the sentimental win
It's Dad Rock. You're not supposed to understand it until you have a kid and a house in the suburbs, but are tenaciously holding on to the notion that you are hipper than the people you run into at the parent-teacher conferences.
What is that other band that all the kids listen to nowadays? They suck.
The National is pretty indistinguishable to me from any other shitty post-Coldplay pop rock like Kings of Leon. They do have one lyric that I would like if early Robyn Hitchcock had sung it instead of sickeningly self-serious what's his face from The National, which is the line about being carried to Ohio in a swarm of bees.
Hey, at least Neutral Milk Hotel seems to be finally catching on...
So, tell us oh wize one. Who should we listen to?
No, YOUR favorite band sucks.
The National is pretty indistinguishable to me from any other shitty post-Coldplay pop rock like Kings of Leon.
What the fuck? As if Coldplay represented some decisive era or genre in rock music? Most people - that is, those who actually know what the fuck they're talking about - would classify Coldplay themselves as one of many post-Radiohead British bands. Chrissakes.
And have none of you hipster dipshits ever heard of Joy Division?
