Hey guys, guess what? The National rules. Besides the sure-to-be ridonkulous tour dates they have scheduled this summer with The Antlers (who are a truly phenomenal live act in their own right, seriously), the band just announced a slew of fall dates with Owen Pallett — the artist formerly known as Final Fantasy […]
This is the second installment of my Memorial Day mix, which will happen every, um, Memorial Day. Take a look back at last year’s mix here (sorry, the mp3s no longer work…can’t just leave them up forever!). We Knox Roadians hope you’re all having fantastic Memorial Day weekends. Last year I started off […]
Being the news-craving, mile-a-minute journalist I am, I just need to be on the cutting edge of everything going on in the world. So I know that there’s, like, an oil spill or whatever, and a bomb in Times Square, or something, and OMGZ THE NATIONAL ON LETTERMAN! I don’t know about you guys, […]

The fifth full-length album by The National, High Violet, is different from past releases, but it’s still unsurprisingly great.

Steady percussion kicks in about […]
AWESOMENESS. The National debuted “Bloodbuzz Ohio” this morning on BBC radio and while several blogs jumped at the radio rip (we were quick to hear it as well), we finally have been given a high quality version courtesy of their label 4AD. By the way, it’s really good. Mix of Alligator and Boxer […]
Considering I know you guys don’t read any other music publication besides Knox Road, you might be asking, “Hey, Jon, what’s going on with those guys in The National?” Well, so much is going on with those guys in The National! We just haven’t covered it. So now it’s time for a supermegapost of […]
Another week, another video I’ve somehow never posted. This is getting ridiculous. I know how much you all live and breathe every word I say (type), you know? What’s that? Shut up, you say? I’m not that important, you say? Well, ha! Tell that to my supportive mother!
A little while ago, The National […]
