The National: North American Tour + MP3s

YES! The National are one of my favourite bands and are incredible live, you've got to see these guys, although it would help greatly if you picked up at least one of their albums to get yourself pumped for the show. I'd recommend Alligator, their most recent release. This tour will be in support of their upcoming record Boxer which is out May 22 on Beggars.

Here are the tour dates and here's a link to check out eMusic's free trial offer of 25 mp3s... where you can get any of The National's albums.
