two new songs from The National


the band showcased these two gems a few nights ago in Boston:

The National - The Runaway (live, Boston 23 May 2009) [mp3]

The National - Blood Buzz Ohio (live, Boston 23 May 2009) [mp3]


looks like the follow up to Boxer is going to be excellent. at least these Brooklyn boys won't disappoint me.

BONUS:
The National - So Far Around the Bend [mp3, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!]
this is probably my favourite song from the compilation Dark Was the Night, one of the best releases of the year so far. do buy it if you haven't already, it's an incredible collection featuring some of my favourite artists (Spoon, Beirut, Sufjan Stevens, Andrew Bird and Arcade Fire off the top of my head) and it's for charity (AIDS research a la the RED campaign). pick it up on AMAZON
