The National (electronic, indie, genre, albums, American)

why do i always have to be the one to make threads about bands other people already listen to?? don't be so goddamn lazy people!! ( indielectro,by people i mean you *points accusatorily*)

*turns back from indie to thread*
i just downloaded alligator, it's pretty awsome, i suppose it's americana, it sounds like nick cave, does that make him americana too?
i wonder what the other albums sound like.

do you realize how much music I listen to? I can't start a topic on every good band I like... that's what my radio station is for!! I assure you, they are very high in rotation right now - so you will hear them every three hours or so (no band plays more than every 3 hours on my station).

Uh.. as for genre of this - it's pure Indie. I don't like the americana title they get as you wouldn't say that about Pixies or Pavement even though some of their songs are a bit americana/folky... not that any of these three sound much alike - I still say just pure indie...

I just got their first album and it's surprisingly ****... big let down

I'm on a lot of message boards mainly to keep my fingers on the pulse... I often find things at weird times as well. Last band I'm really getting into is Electrelane for instance and they aren't very new. I'm also going through about 20 new albums a week so even the very good ones are muted by the sheer amount of music I need to get through...

what do you mean *must install soon*? It works with any music player!! You are running out of excuses my friend!

Re National - Sad Songs For Dirty Lovers - is the one I just got... didn't realize there was more than one early album. I'll check out the other ASAP and let ya know..

For some reason I thought was about National the electronica band but, The National is wonderful. S/T is my favorite album and, IndiElectronica, your radio station is damn good.
