Right. No argument here. Go and spend around £8 of your British pounds (or American or whatever) on Alligator by The National. Listen to all tracks, but pay particular attention to Karen, City Middle, Secret Meeting and Daughters of the Soho Riots. After you have had your soul suitably opened, then go and buy Boxer by The National and have the experience repeated. Did I mention, they are fucking excellent? uk.youtube.com/watch?v=-YHVo2NP1eo

Yeah, think we might have a thread or two about them already.
Fucking great band. Saw them a couple of times this year. Boxer is a outright classic. Have Alligator (I love Mister November...) and their debut as well thanks to marg. Excellent stuff. Hopefully there'll be some new stuff from them in 2009.
