Nationalism for The National

The National >> News are my favorite band of the moment. Sure my favorite band changes pretty often but these guys are amazing. My enthusiasm is driven by a few videos I just came across on their americanmary website. They also have all their lyrics listed from Aligator and Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers. You can assure yourself that he does indeed say "I have weird dreams of you pissing in a sink, I think", or "It's a common fetish for a doting man to ballerina on the coffee table cock in hand." Lyrics like this are the ones that keep me coming back for more. With the extremely baritone voice you'll want to listen to every sylable. If you still haven't heard them they have a few tracks to download as well as some videos.

Wasp Nest (Cherry Tree)
Slipping Husband (Dirty Lovers)
Murder Me Rachael (Dirty Lovers)
Cold Girl Fever (S/T)

Look around any blog and you can find "All The Wine" or other tracks off of Aligator.
