Today's choice was a toss up between "About Today" and "Lucky You". I went with this one because it had a video, while the other only had audio. Both are from the same album, "Sad Sangs for Dirty Lovers", and both do a great job of highlighting some of The National's awesome characteristics (such as the vocalist's deep, depressed voice). The National made some noise in the music world with their latest release, "Boxer", by getting onto the national television circuit playing their single "Fake Empire". Hell, even Pitchfork liked their album! Also, for you Sufjan lovers out there, the third song in my post today, "Ada", features Sufjan Stevens (not vocally).
