    My girlfriend loves them....all she listens to. I think their kinda boring, monotone. Of course she also likes interpol a great deal as well.

    The studio comparisons to Interpol are warranted IMO ... but live, The National have tons of emotion, where Interpol, are pretty stoic.

    I love both bands though.

    Yeah I kind of agree with the boring and monotone assessment...but for some reason, I really like them anyway. I really think it's an acquired taste.

    If you're not going to see PJ in Philly, they are playing three shows in Brooklyn on Oct 28, 30 and 31 ... but, I'll bet you're going to PJ, aren't you?

    Well, of course I'm going to Philly Friday and Saturday...but I am aware of the shows you reference...it's not a regular full National show though, right? It mentions various vocalist etc., which I'm not interested in..

    you're right, but, it is Kim (pixies & breeders) and Kelly (breeders) Deal ... and Shara Whardon of My Brightest Diamond ... but yeah, not a proper show.

    The email from Ntl said 100 copies at RT. It will be an exclusive at the show. I'm sure there will be a fair amount.
