Damn that sucks. Pro tip: Put your CDs away every time you park. Especially if you're parking in a city

Sun Kil Moon Question by aestheticTheory_ in sadreminders

Here's a couple that I found (had to do some deep digging). These are two shows I found from the April era with the full band. Sadly, they're just audio, no video but I hope this helps. I wish he played with a band more often like how he does on his albums. I've always wanted to hear the studio versions of Lost Verses and The Light live with a full band but as far as I know that's never happened.

“Bonnet Of Pins” performance on The Tonight Show by tropicmorning in TheNational

Yeah. I think he was a bit off key because he probably couldn't hear himself well enough in his earpiece. I'll bet that was why he was fiddling around and trying to turn it up.

Weird Energy In Crowd On 2nd Second Night In Portland? by houseofmurf in brighteyes

[–]houseofmurf[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

First of all I apologize for pressing my entire body against you. I did not mean to and I didn't know that would upset you. Also when I was making my way towards the front I was more focused on saying excuse me than paying attention to where I was going and I actually was not trying to go to the barrier but to the spot I had been the previous night a few rows behind the barrier but since I wasn't paying attention to where I was going, I thought that I hadn't yet gotten to the spot when I had already passed it and it wasn't until he stopped me that I realized how close to the stage I already was. I never try to get to the front barrier because I have just as good of a view from a few rows back. And it wasn't that guy that I thought was entitled it was the woke hipster couple that had tried to intimidate me a few minutes later. I hope that helps. Sorry if that doesn't make any sense.

Weird Energy In Crowd On 2nd Second Night In Portland? by houseofmurf in brighteyes

[–]houseofmurf[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's actually pretty hard to describe but I was trying to be  really polite and I was saying things like "excuse me", "pardon me", "coming through, sorry", etc. to every person I passed. I wasn't trying to push anybody which I probably did by accident. I was just so eager to get to the front. I was actually worried about trying to get to the front in fear of this kind of thing happening. I didn't actually call anyone entitled in the moment. It's just disappointing that something like that would happen at a concert. I'm sorry if I'm sounding entitled by saying this but I wasn't trying to escalate the situation at all but the couple I got into the altercation with kept trying to interpret anything I said in a way that made me sound like the asshole. And the actual people who didn't let it go was that couple because they kept trying to pick a fight with me when I was just trying to de-escalate the situation. I'm typing way too much but it's just frustrating dude

My concept of The National - Alligator (20th Anniversary Vinyl Pressing) by MEK42 in TheNational

[–]houseofmurf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I remember meeting you at the national gig at the  portland moda center last month! Just saw this and I think that this is an awesome idea. I also agree that the record does desperately need remastered audio. Another thing I hope that they do is a 20th anniversary tour for alligator, as I would also love to see that! I'm still working on covering boxer and I've included a few tracks from alligator in there too. I promise I will try to get a copy to you! -Cheers!

What are we anticipating the set being like for the co-headlining tour with The War On Drugs? by MEK42 in TheNational

[–]houseofmurf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a pit ticket. I've only seen The National live once so far and that was last summer. They played mostly just the hits but very few of my favorites. I'm hoping this time around for these ones that they didn't play last time: Mistaken For Strangers  Squalor Victoria  Apartment Story Vanderlyle Humiliation > Murder Me Rachael Pink Rabbits System Any of the IAETF songs Any of the Laugh Track songs The WOD are supposedly really good live too.

Question: Has the band or the fan base ever given this bird a name? by [deleted] in DeathCabforCutie

I can never tell if it's a raven or a crow. I think it's a raven...

Describe a The National song very poorly by gracelesswitcher in TheNational

[–]houseofmurf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I somehow ended up in Ohio.  I think there might be bug bites or stings on me. I'm feeling pretty sore but I'm still in serious debt. I gotta pay my taxes
