Today we are featuring the best thing from Cincinnati since Ken Griffey Jr. and Skyline Chili. Away from the stage, the members of The National are some of the funniest, most engaging, most congenial musicians out there. But this song pretty much wrecked me the first time I heard it, both because of the innate beauty of the song and the greater, pervasive sense of sadness and loss. It is a crusher. And it would not crush so much if it were not such a beautiful song.
“... everything is complicated by the presence of the opposing team.” – Jean-Paul Sartre

Lose Tunes Track 04
This edition of the Lose Tunes is brought to you by the bottle of Ridge 2006 Grenache that we had at the office on Friday afternoon. Yes, we drink wine in the office on Fridays and you do not. Sucks to be you.
