did you hear me John? 15 people went to see them at Longitude.Parquet Courts
They're sometimes pretty good at best.
not strictly on topic but I don't get the popularity of The National. They are terribly bland really, albeit good. But, given the lack of patience of your 'average' music fan, I don't get how they're so popular.
yes, I've seen them a few times and they're always great live but I almost never listen to any albums (other than Boxer every once in a while). They sold out the Iveagh gardens 2 nights in a row. They've sold out the Olympia 3 nights in a row and would probably mostly fill the O2 at this stage.Supposedly played a blinder in the Iveagh Gardens this weekend.

Future Islands sold out 2 nights in Vicar street on the back of 1 deadly song. I guess thats kind of understandable given the hype about it and all. But the National don't really have that standout tune IMO.
Don't get me wrong, I like the National and all. I just don't get how they're as popular as they are.
yup. heard so many good things about them from people I generally think have decent taste, so i listened to a few of their tunes some time last year. mainly around the time of this so called great show in Cork last summer. bland. boring. the hell are people going so wild over?not strictly on topic but I don't get the popularity of The National.

Can't get into The National. On the other hand I can't wait for Coldplay's impending singles album.
Will it have unreleased material on it?
I'm sure it'll have at least one new track to entice the fans who already own everything else. As an albums band they're just so-so but the singles have - on the whole - been pretty good and very listenable.
well either a new track or a limited edition callcard like the Corrs didI'm sure it'll have at least one new track to entice the fans who already own everything else. As an albums band they're just so-so but the singles have - on the whole - been pretty good and very listenable.

I'm the same, I've heard some snippets of their songs from radio ads & they sounded mind numblingly boring. Are The National one of those bands that are insanely loved by the Irish but everywhere else they're just a regular band?
