Thanks mistakenforfamous, I'd been after Minor Star Of Rome for some time. I also wouldn't object to the alternate version of Wasp Nest if anyone has it.

Listened to it today, for the first time.
Thanks.
And as for About Today... got me crying. God I hate the song so much: why, why do I listen to it?! I's a beautiful version.

Wow!!!
Thanks to all. Nice forum, this one.

I had that SPIN-session for quite some time now, still great though!
Keep on sharing

This is the link for the alternate version of Wasp Nest. Can someone let me know that it works?

Ta

Unless I'm trying to download it wrong, it's showing up as a binary document as opposed to an mp3 of any kind. Thanks for the try though.

Works fine for me... I just had to add ".mp3" to the filename.

You guys rock! Thanks.

if the other one gives you problems..or won't work in your itunes...heres another Alternate version of Wasp Nest http://www.savefile.com/files/1005675
enjoy.

I just wanted to thank everybody for uploading their rarities, I think I've doubled my National collection since I stumbled across this forum a couple of days ago!

Today Sirius re-broadcast a previously recorded National studio session on their "Left of Sessions" program, so I recorded it on the off chance that it wasn't already circulating. They played the same four songs as the AOL Spinner session, but it's definitely a different performance ("Apartment Story" in particular is totally different than the acoustic Spinner version). They didn't give a date, but it seems that early 2007 is a fair guess. Anyway, here's the link:

Four songs: Apartment Story, Slow Show, Mistaken For Strangers, & Start a War.

One caveat: my computer beeped once during "Slow Show", at about 2:40, and that became part of the recording. Hope you enjoy it anyway!

(first post, by the way)

Thank you

O.K. - I'm brand new here. I am interested in finding rarities. Where do I start?

I don't think this thread is such a bad place to start
Some of the links might be active still, just take a look here and ask if you want anything reuploaded. Hopefully someone can help you with it then.

Thanks so much for sharing!!

I was just wondering where to start as far as what is the best place to start? There are so many links to different stuff. Some of it has to be better than others.
