    I like the National - but this seems a bit much

    I completely agree. I just figured that many of us here are vinyl junkies and some people might be upset if they missed it. £120 is way too rich for me.

    Cool concept and intriguing to have it offered on vinyl....but I dunno, that's a long time to listen to the same song repeatedly. Would def be an interesting meditative experience.

    Ha. Will be interesting to hear if they changed subtle inflections and instrumentations from song to song based on that particular moment during the performance. Say one version may be colored melancholy (aren't most of their songs??...ha) while three versions of it later may contain more of an energetic burst.

    Has anyone seen the documentary Mistaken For Strangers yet? About the lead singer and his brother's relationship. Just saw it pop up available on demand on cable and wondering if it's worth a watch from someone who's seen it.

    I don't think it's the same song on a loop over six hours is it, I assumed it was like a six hour jam session to the tune of Sorrow...?

    I have to admit, I'm intrigued by the concept, but I won't be spending that kind of coin on it.

    they played the song over and over again, apparently 108 times, and i remember reading there was one version with no drums as the drummer went to the bathroom or something.

    It's definitely worth a watch. I really enjoyed it. Definitely more about the relationship between them than the music.

    Thanks, as much as I can appreciate the art of it and the discipline, the jam session I could get behind, not the same song on repeat.

    Like it - too much touring has made him crazy and that's a good thing.

    Like what I've heard of EL VY so far. Had tickets to see them at the Troubadour coming up in a week and a half but gave them up to see The National play a benefit show in the same venue two weeks ago (National actually debuted a new song called "Roman Candle" at the show).

    Yeah, @smarchee recommended EL VY to me, and am just listening now. Like what I'm hearing so far! Not so sure it's exactly filling a hole that needed filling or anything (uhhh, that's what she said!!) - it's pretty similar to The National simply because of Matt's super distinctive voice - but it's good music for sure. Would consider buying the album(s?). :)

    Cool - it's been awhile and they toured forever with the last one
