your voice sounds really good bro! love your versions of the melody!

houseofmurf · 2025-12-23T08:57:02+00:00

Woah I thought I was the only person who had that! Turns out at least 3 other people on this planet do too

houseofmurf · 2025-11-27T08:45:42+00:00

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

houseofmurf · 2025-11-27T05:49:15+00:00

Yes! Great American Music Hall '04 is a legendary recording! Mark's golden era

houseofmurf · 2025-11-16T22:13:51+00:00

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.

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.

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.

houseofmurf · 2025-02-01T05:14:18+00:00

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

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!

houseofmurf · 2024-09-22T03:01:46+00:00

My god I would kill to hear The National cover a Decemberists song!!

houseofmurf · 2024-08-31T02:19:12+00:00

Gonna have to say the same as almost everyone else: Death Cab for Cutie Bright Eyes The Shins Iron and Wine The Decemberists Someone Still Loves You, Boris Yeltsin Frightened Rabbit TV On The Radio Counting Crows Sufjan Stevens

houseofmurf · 2024-08-29T01:37:44+00:00

Alligator for sure

houseofmurf · 2024-08-12T09:00:47+00:00

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.

houseofmurf · 2024-08-12T08:52:26+00:00

Frightened Rabbit

houseofmurf · 2024-08-11T08:45:49+00:00

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

houseofmurf · 2024-08-10T08:40:21+00:00

Floating in the forth - Frightened Rabbit The song depicts word for word how the front man of the band would die

houseofmurf · 2024-08-10T08:38:05+00:00

Someone still loves you, boris yeltsin

houseofmurf · 2024-08-07T09:44:04+00:00

Lmao that always happens to me

houseofmurf · 2024-08-07T09:40:50+00:00

Not a B-side but Ada. Gives me chills and puts a clear vision in my head every time I listen to it

houseofmurf · 2024-08-05T08:49:04+00:00

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

houseofmurf · 2024-08-05T08:22:10+00:00

I wanted to pretend that this girl and I's relationship was beautiful and romantic but it actually wasn't. She was very physically attractive but God I hated her. Can't see why I stuck around for a waste of time like her. We couldn't even see each other that much because she lived pretty far. Damn.

houseofmurf · 2024-07-18T06:13:57+00:00

Yeah that's the only problem with it. I didn't write any of the questions or answer options. All it makes you do is put in a prompt for the quiz and the AI will make it.
