The National - First Two Pages... & Laugh Track Album • Page 65

oh my god they played Abel!!!

 

"Noir-y" is a good way of describing it.

 

Yeah they fucking did. And Demons, too.

 

What time did soccer mommy and the national go on?

 

Also wondering this, I am going tonight.

Edit: setlist.fm says Soccer Mommy is 7:30-8:15 and The National are either 8:45-10:45 or 9-11.

 

Thanks! Going to eat before hand and want to make sure we’re done in time to see soccer mommy

 

8:45 is the start.

 

Every single night has confirmed that I made the right choice in going to all of them.

 

Baby We’ll Be Fine and Lemonworld tonight.

 

And another new song - Deep End.

 

I saw Lemonworld last year but wow, Baby We'll Be Fine?!? They're really going for it this tour.

 

Fourth new song - Tour Manager.

 

On night 12, they’re announcing a new album Aaron Won’t Produce Another Artist’s Album Again. It’s got guitars, Bryan is back on drums, and Matt is singing about New York and being drunk in a suit again. The liner notes is 14 pages rebuking their past creative relationship with Taylor Swift. Comes in 14 variants and the 1975 are featured on every song (not the full band, just Matt H making “jokes” over Matt B yelling). The boys are back.

 

Wild that they’re playing NEWER songs than their newly released album

 

Yeah. They have to be planning something semi-soon. That’s be cruel to do this and then release these songs in 4 years.

 

No. I'm not falling for that again.

 

they always do that tho don’t they??

 

Looking at the setlists for the Chicago shows has me very excited for next weekend. Seems like they are pulling anything/everything out for this tour. Honestly wish I bought tickets to both Portland shows, but back to back shows is a little much for my old ass and Edgefield is a pain to get to on Friday nights.

 

This is the best I’ve seen them perform in years. You’re going to love it.

 

Also, took four nights but we finally got Matt back in the crowd. It’s not going to be an every night sort of thing based on what they said but it’ll happen occasionally.

 

What’s your impression of the new tracks they did @bradpetrik ? Tour Manager, Deep End, and Turn Off the House, looks like.

 

I have a hard time whenever they play new things as I know they’re being a bit more reserved while playing them. I do think they sound good, would love it if they’re released and we get proper live versions of them.

 

A fifth new song tonight - Hornets.

 

Have not repeated a new song yet. Last night - Coat on a Hook.

 

Gonna play the whole of this rumoured newer album at this rate.
