The National Debuted High Violet Track “Terrible Love” on Jimmy Fallon
The National gave a “super early preview” on Jimmy Fallon of the opening track, “Terrible Love,” from their upcoming full-length, High Violet. According to Stereogum, this hadn’t even aired as of yesterday. Nothing shocking to report here. Trumpets dance among a calm sea of guitar and piano as Matt Berninger’s voice scratches through the smooth [...]

Vampire Weekend Play a House Party in Barcelona
Look at this f*cking Barcelona house party!
Vampire Weekend apparently made friends at a local bar after a gig in Barcelona, and then somehow ended up playing at a random birthday party. Their impromptu performance of “A Punk” and “Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa” has luckily (for me and my mom, she loves Vampire Weekend) made its [...]
