As I mentioned earlier, I am still loving a lot of last year's great albums. In my opinion, Alligator by the National was the best of the best and I have not gotten tired of it yet. It's songs are sad and wonderful and full of incredible lyrics that stick in your head for days. I find myself humming "Secret Meeting" or "Karen", even though I haven't actually heard the album in days.
Even though I was living in New York when these guys were getting big in Brooklyn, I never had the opportunity to see them. Last year, when they made their first big national tour, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah opened and took the spotlight away from, in my opinion, a much better band. They played the Troubadour in late summer and it was just when I moved here and acted too late on the tickets.
But, now they return, months later at the Troubadour again. I am pumped to finally hear this music live that has been haunting my brain for months.
Will I see you there?
great show, indeed
