Hello all, heard an interview with Bryce on the radio in Dublin the other morning. He was talking about how they like playing Dublin etc. and sent the DJ a recording of Fake Empire from their November 1st show in the Olympia 07'. Its a great version and the crowd are incredibly loud, would love to hear it again.

Does anyone have this recording?

Any help greatly appreciated

Oh my god!! What station was that?? Phantom?
I would lurve to get my mitts on that

Download "The Kiosk" podcast.

Bryce interview starts at 10 mins.

Listening to it now, will post what time the Fake Empire recording begins at...

could it be the virginia-ep version?

that sucks about Fake Empire. What im gonna do though is edit everything down and post just the Bryce interview up in mp3. i'd do it now....but my wife is on the computer that has all my equipment and good programs on it, taking some gay quiz.
ill try to exhaust my resources and try to find the version of Fake Empire.

by the way...im not sure if any of you has seen this...but is a great friggin clip...its a video of MATT deciding to head out into the crowd while performing Mr November. The kid towards the end who gets tangled up in his mic cord is hilarious.

sorry...i forgot to post the link, didnt i?? sometimes, the little hampster stops running around in my wheel.

The two best moments from "The Virginia E.P."

Youve Done It Again, Virginia http://www.savefile.com/files/1559815
Forever After Days http://www.savefile.com/files/1559819

i dont care if its a demo. "Forever After Days" has just catapulted it's way into my top 5 favorite National songs ever.

ooo i'm going to resist on those - knowing A Skin A Night is in the post!

I really like the sequencing on the EP. I also really like that they called it an EP when it's 48 minutes long.

mistakenforfamous you legend! Ta for editing it down and ta to coveredincake for posting the link.

ok....somebody started a topic for FOREVER AFTER DAYS and posted a link to it from i guess from some French blog.
That version sounds alot like the e.p. version as far as quality of sound is.....
now the one i posted above here, sounds way more beefy and thick....or at least i think it does. there doesnt seem to be anything different about the instrumentation to me...just the overall sound and master....can someone please help me out and compare the 2 and tell me im not friggin crazy and that its not just all in my head????

Hello everyone and thanks for all the links!
Is there a good live recording of Apartment Story besides that in White Session? I'm looking for a version where Matt sings higher in the last chorus ("we have our looks" etc) and the backing vocals are more prominent. This makes the song even more perfect than it already is. An example of what I'm looking for is the Craig Ferguson version: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=nFcD5HS_Chc
