The National - "Mr. November" (Live From Pitchfork Fest '09)

Say what you will about Pitchfork, (and I do...often) but they know how to put on a great festival. They are just now beginning to upload the videos from 2009's edition and this video of one of the best songs of the last ten years is a particular standout. Enjoy, and keep an eye on singer Matt Berninger, it's like playing Where's Waldo.

saw em at the electric factory this past may, i cannot wait till they come around again in support of their new album (no word on a release date, yet, though). it was so incredible.

i was trying to go to that show but i couldnt get anyone to go with me/something else came up

but i saw in an interview with aaron dessner that the new album is aiming for early/mid 2010

ah i got aaron's pick at the show. plucked it off the shoulder of a tall man next to me. i am so stoked for the new record.

it'd be sweet if they could play live somewhere in a nearby city sometime soon. maybe get a preview of the new material. i should do some research. and make some money, too.

they played a few new ones live: 'vanderlylle (sp?) crybaby", "bloodbuzz ohio" and "the runaway" live.
