in my best clothes
Pitchfork posted the dates for the National's upcoming Fall tour. They'll hit the Media Club on October 2nd. This is exciting for me in and of itself as Alligator, the bands latest, is right at the top of my list of "I still need to buys," and "Mr. November" is one of my favourite songs from this year. Upping the ante, however, is the opener. The band that (almost) everybody loves to hype, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah will warm up the crowd.
Common tickets are on presale now, regular onsale is Friday at 10am.
