The National - First Two Pages... & Laugh Track Album • Page 48

preordered the white LP yesterday

 

The National set to release a 15-track CD of deep cuts, solo and collaborative rarities, including two unreleased tracks

interesting

 

interesting, ordered it

 

Hopefully it's still available in a few days when I get paid... Very interested in that CD.

 

you know where to find me in a bit if there's anything especially interesting on here

 

i doubt this is the "other project" they've teased that'll be the home of Weird Goodbyes. still intrigued to see what's on the disc though.

 

Are you telling us you're... easy to find?

 

I won't find you, but Trouble will.

 

still think a collab-heavy sister EP/album is coming

 

Doubling down on my prediction of it being a remix album, with different artists rearranging and singing over unreleased National stems/arrangements. This magazine CD seems unrelated.

 

ooh, that would be interesting

 

my 10 year old PC with a disc drive (which hasn't been my daily driver in 4 years) also picked the wrong time to finally give out, so i'm either gonna order this and buy a disc drive (which would probably be useless at this point), or wait to see if the unreleased songs/deep cuts end up somewhere to listen. hoping for a CD-quality version of Warm Singing Whores and not just a vinyl rip, haha.

 

turns out we're getting the OTHER PB collab tomorrow

 

This Isn’t Helping is out there because Apple made a mistake.

 

great song, one of my favourites on the album

 

4AD: so they're putting out a Phoebe Bridgers collab as the last single, got it?

Apple: yup

 

where can I hear it? - an old who is bad with the internet

 

I don’t see This Isn’t Helping available anymore.

 

New song = Trouble Will Find You Again, Virginia and I’m here for it.

 

Your Mind is Not Your Friend is now on streaming and it is really good.

 

it’s so good

 

Yep it is so so trouble

 

not hitting as hard as the other three singles for me but I'm still very into it

 

Placing my hate in spoiler tags again so as to voice my concerns but not rain on anyone’s parade: I feel as if this band is just showing me paint swatches of like 4 different shades of the color gray over and over again and going “hmm?” I can’t stand this song lol cute video, though.

 

East LA kids will recognize some of the concrete play structure animals in the last portion of the video from Vincent Lugo Park in San Gabriel, CA. I played there as a kid and recently took my toddler and I was like “NOPE. You’re not climbing this 14 foot tall concrete animal with tiny eroded toe holds and zero rails or handles.”
