"An American Editors"
Lauren Laverne, I want to sick in your cunt.
I laughed
I sucked my teeth and made that noise of unsureness, I laughed again, I chuckled nervously. I'm still unsure.
become sure
it's funny and sexy
she's grotesque
she looks exactly like
a two-legged heather mills
OI, LAVERNE NO!

Eavis lend me your gun!
AIDAN!
Remember the windmill times?
that was yesterday..
so of course i do. Was cool meeting all you lot.
i'm currently sitting in my sister's flat in Bermondsey looking after her cat watching Glastonbury highlights before heading back to Nottingham tomorrow.
i like that you're posting more
:D
^ this
I've owned boxer for a few months now
but never actually listened to it, because i thought that i hadn't finished with Alligator.
I suppose i'll have to start listening before i get a chance to see them. Only knowing 1/5 is not good for a band i find amazing.
The National at O2 Wireless Festival
this Friday,hmmm should I get a ticket? Is £45 too much, I desperately want to go and see them but not heard great things about Wireless, make my mind up someone!
They'll only play for 40 mins or so
National play surprise session this friday!
A friend just told me that The National are gonna be doing a surprise session on the O2 stage at Wireless this Friday (4th July) at 3pm!!! The stage is pretty intimate so it will be a good chance to see this wicked band before it gets hectic in the evening. Spread the word!
STOP JAGGING!!!!!!!
woo, they're playing green man
and i'm going.
woop
seeing them for the 5th time on Thursday at Werchter
me too!
except its for the first time.
hehe yeah
and at least they've got a whole hour and its at a good time of day (better crack out the red wine)
although i was completely emotionally drained after the last time i saw them. But my friends from home who are into music now all love them so it should be good.
i've not been this obsessed about a band ever
And they are in the tent there
which is a great festival venue. Looking forward to seeing them, not seen them before.
One of my favourite bands.
I love them.
Leds Met tomorrow!
pretty excited actually and think it may be a wise move given the hideous amound of clashes at T in the Park this year
has it sold out?
and if not, how much are tickets?
i finally have money, and will be all over it if they've not sold out.
dunno if it's sold out
I'm guessing it isnt
its 14 quid plus charges anyway xo
According to Jumbo Records' website
it is sold out.
I agree
American Editors?
How on earth could anyone think this let alone declare it to the nation?! Can't wait to see them tomorrow in leeds, i have high hopes.
talk about
saving the best til last.... they were utterly brilliant on the John Peel stage last night....
Going to see them for the first time next week
Hugely excited.
slow show might be my favourite song ever
Someone please,
please tell me where I can find them on iplayer at Glastonbury...if they are on it at all.
Did anyone record this/know where to see it?
It's bands like this that make being a fan of music so fucking brilliant!
videos on iplayer now...
http://www.bbc.co.uk/glastonbury/2008/artists/national/
no,
it isn't.
it is
and it is ace
You are my hero.
hehe
i keep seeing myself in the lion hat. good times.

that person.
As do I
My last.fm page will bear this out.

I should've bought Alligator 3 years ago when Amazon recommended it to me. It's pretty much integral to my life now...
I don't like them
Byeeeee x
bye indeed,
and good riddance :P
Thanks everyone
Because of how much people had talked about them on here before, I went and watched them as my closing Glastonbury band.
Albums have now duly been ordered.
They're such a surprisingly good live band
They're not charismatic as such, but they make up for it with intensity. Their Dublin show in May was AMAZING.
I'm still planning to write a novel
just so I can call the female protagonist Faye Kempire.
I've posted this before, and will keep posting it until someone lols.
the national
rule
who
supported them tonight?
they were shit
Caroline Martin
was supporting and I wasn't impressed either. However, The National were awesome. Easily the best gig i've been to this year.
lol
:-) I still fucking love them. Have I mentioned that before?
I loled into myself the first time
I'd buy it
^ that was in reply to scagdensir
Yay!
*searches around for biro with which to compose magnum opus*
^^
