The National: New Songs "Ryland" and "I Need My Girl"

No time to chat, or take these new songs by The National apart, just time to grab them from the net, tag 'em and post 'em. But this is good news, the band are working on new songs for the next album.

These songs were ripped from streams posted by CBC Radio's program, Q. Check the page for videos of the songs or links to youtube videos.

Video: Spoon Interviews Howie Weinberg

Britt Daniel and Jim Eno of Spoon interviewing mastering engineer Howie Weinberg, who mastered their album, Transference. Funny stuff, in an inside kinda way. You can tell the guys in Spoon think he's hilarious and want to share that with everyone else.

So, here's a demo of "Utilitarian" that Britt Daniel came across while packing up his stuff to move. Maybe he came across this video as well, since it was recorded a year and a half ago.
