Want one of your own? Head to The National shop and check out the current sale items. Wish I’d waited a little longer to buy mine – I shelled out top dollar two weeks ago, and I coulda saved myself some big bickies! But then I wouldn’t have the shirt now would I?
My first taste of The National was a random download of ‘All The Wine’. Back in January 2008 I wrote about listening to it for the first time as I walked down the street to the shops:
I think a couple of people mistook me for a crazy person as I ambled along the footpath grinning like an idiot and chuckling to myself, but what did I care? I had just discovered The National.
And another one of my favourites:
You’re all humming live wires under your killing clothes.
Get over here, I wanna kiss your skinny throat
You’re a wasp nest, you’re a wasp nest

I’ve only just discovered these guys and am definetly liking what I’m hearing.
Great shirt, by the way.
Ohh sometimes I wish I could go back to those early days when I was only just discovering them myself! I’ve devoured all I can find and am now waiting impatiently for their new album. Then again, there is something comforting about spending time with your old favourites.
Glad you like what you hear, and yes, the shirt is pretty neat!
hey….. I really like this. Never heard it before. Thankyou!

Cool band. Check them out. Thanks for details. I especially like “All Is Wine”.
It’s a good one!
Yeah they are an awesome band. Thank you!
You’re welcome Daniel, thanks for visiting!
I love; LOVE All The Wine by The National. It’s such a feel-good song, & there’s hardly any of that anymore these days.
The National are so great though.
