Checking In

Yep, I'm still here. Just got back into town last night and leave tomorrow for Dublin to see The Frames on New Year's Eve. Can't wait.

Figured since I've been remiss in updating, the least I could do is give you a song in my absence. I discovered a short set of demos from The National's Boxer LP floating around on the internet today. Very interesting stuff. Most interesting, to me at least, is a radically different version of "Slow Show". The album version is my favorite song on the CD, but there's something about this version that I really like too (maybe it's simply just a great song, no matter how they play it).

Have a great New Years, and see you in 2008!
