A few weeks back, I estimated 20-25, but I think he's eclipsed that dramatically.

(via NBA Off-Season)

Here's Matt Berninger and the brothers Dessner - 3/5 of The National - performing "Anyone's Ghost" off of High Violet in front of garage somewhere in Los Angeles.

H/T to Each Note Secure - go there to see a clip of "Apartment Story" and "Fake Empire."

Their much anticipated, debut full-length Gorilla Manor hits U.S. shelves today.

Pitchfork gave it an 8.4 (out of 10). What does that mean? To quote Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez: "Now we can play forever." (Or at least tour for like three years.)

I saw this band three times at CMJ last year. I highly recommend this band. Get Gorilla Manor on vinyl here.
