I don’t think the “Sea of Love” video that came out today is any kind of superlative moment for The National, but I do think that it illuminates why the band as a set of personalities has been capable of creating and sustaining such a unique magic.  You can mine sublimeness from darkness alone, but having friends helps.

sociopathsanonymous: Tell me, do you like Neutral Milk Hotel? Their early tapes were a little experimental for my taste, but when Avery Island came out in ‘96, I think they really came into their own, both commercially and artistically. The whole album has a fuzzy, trumpety sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalsim that really gives the songs a big boost. He’s been compared to Four Volts, but I think that Jeff has far more crazed, over-the-top vocals. In ‘98 Jeff released this, In The Aeroplane Over The Sea, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is “Holland, 1945”, a song so catchy, most people probably don’t listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it’s not just about Jeff Mangum’s obsessions with Anne Frank, it’s also a personal statement about abuse and incest brought about by his dad! Hey Paul!

People will kill you over time, and how they’ll kill you is with tiny, harmless phrases, like ‘be realistic.’
