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.

i probably comment this too much but the national are my favorite band and oh dear me thank you for posting this. ive seem them live and it really is something beautiful.
i would kill to see them live
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.
