LISTEN: Two more songs off The National's High Violet...

Seen and heard on Stereogum, deserves a H/T. Their post covers just how close tabs are being kept on new songs off High Violet - which I love.

Here's "Afraid of Everyone" and "Conversation 16," performed live at the Big Ears Festival in Knoxville, TN. "Afraid of Everyone" is my favorite song I've heard off the new record so far.

Most of #Lollapalooza Wheel-of-Fortune deciphered

H/T Consequence of Sound. Well done.

Here's who I got before I found this:

Soundgarden (easy)
Spoon (really easy)

Other thoughts:

If you were hoping to see any band whose name starts with O, I hate to burst your bubble.

For some reason, anything with a double-O that I couldn't get was driving me crazy.
 
I'm not going to Lollapalooza, so I haven't really been paying attention to when the line-up was going to be announced. However, if I was going to go and had been gearing up for the line-up announcement, only to get this, I'd think that was pretty sinister.

Hence, posting this for the good people planning on attending.
