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."

Minutes from now, The National and Rob Swift are performing live from The Greene Space on WNYC's Soundcheck.

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.
