Brand New Band • Page 488

I am the Long Island Weatherma....Nope. I can't even joke.
No big day here :(

 

I know I should love the national, but I only kind of like them.

 

I love them, but I've spent a long time getting there and I still don't care about the first two records that much.

Alligator > Boxer > High Violet > Trouble > the rest.

 

Picking a favorite between Boxer, High Violet and Trouble Will Find Me is near impossible for me

 

I'm sinking like a stone in the sea

 

I'm burning like a bridge for new music.

 

In before lock.

 

I'd love a covers album from these guys.

 

"I say your name
I say I'm sorry
I know it's not working
I'm no holiday
It's nobody's fault
No guilty party
We just got nothing
Nothing left to say"




Oh I forgot this isn't The National thread...

 

All the National covers?

 

Brand New covering Little Faith


I'd pay good money for that

 

or Afraid of Everyone

 

Has Jesse ever covered any of Kensrue's stuff?

 

i could see brand new covering mistaken for strangers

 

Not that I know of!

 

Someone on the r/brandnew mentioned today that Merchdirect's customer service answer to the missing merch question is that they are no longer the band's provider. Still helping people with international orders though, evidently.

 

I vaguely remember them sound checking with Firebreather.

 

Yup. Has been known to occur.

 

Did they cut ties with Merch Direct?! But they're the best Merch company! Are they not friends with Justin Beck anymore?

 

I wouldn't be shocked if they went the MO route and decided to do everything in house

 

I do wonder how much Shopify will hurt companies like MD long term.

 

and on that day I'd die with the biggest smile of the world on my face

 

how is I Need My Girl their most played song? One of their worst.

 

It's actually great
