I can’t stop listening to: The National

I first heard this band near the end of the school year and I have been listening ever since.  I have two of their albums: Boxer, their most recent, and Alligator.  Both are equally amazing in my opinion and I think everyone should check them out.  I got Boxer first and couldn’t stop listening to the song Slow Show.  I really like the chorus, it goes like this:

“I wanna hurry home to you

put on a slow, dumb show for you

and crack you up

so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain

god I’m very, very frightening

I’ll overdo it”

On Alligator I really like Secret Meeting and Mr. November (check this out) but the whole album is really amazing.  I’ve found I’m not very good at describing music, maybe it’s because I don’t play any instruments and therefore don’t know what is going on technically but who knows.  I really like this guy’s voice and I can’t describe it other than I can’t stop listening and I think you should join me.  Peace.
