I was going to put this in the "National - Boxer" thread, but I decided to instead just share it here, if that is okay with everyone.
I found this archive of National rarities, B-sides and Demos that I have enjoyed a great deal over the past week. It gives a lot of depth to their music when you can hear the very early work of a band, and how their songs change over time.
I mentioned the Boxer outake "Tall Saint" a while back, but I just listened to the demo version of "Slow Show". These are too amazing to sit in a freezer somewhere. At least check out the Liberation CD, but the early home demo called "No Profesionals" is a great bit of National history as well.
---------------------------- I'm the operator with my pocket calculator.
I was about to say, "another band with the word National in the name?!" I mean, I already get my iPod confused with The National and The National Lights. "At least it doesn't have Field in the name," I thought.
Then I found out this was something else entirely! I'll definitely check this out after work.
------ Aren't there any girls out their who like good music? I need to and want to meet them. My favorite bands are Overkill River, The Nife, Songs:Ohio, and Nuetral Milk Hotel. Please let me know if your into indy music and like to go to show's and drink beer's and makeout.

You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends when you pass them at night under the silvery, silvery citibank lights arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes glazing under oh you wouldn’t want an angel watching over surprise, surprise they wouldn’t wannna watch another uninnocent, elegant fall into the unmagnificent lives of adults
==== What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done; there is nothing new under the sun.
