The Feedback Loop: #8. The National - High Violet

Although The Interior has ever been a bit too dangerous to do it big in the pop world and a bit too elementary to make any big splashes in the post-rock world, these guys have been patiently creating dark and brooding rock for days now.

fifa2010 2010 in Review: The Best Picture and Best Lyrics of the Year
My favorite video of 2010 is the one for K'Naan's "Waving Flag," which was the official call of the 2010 World Cup. I have ever loved sports montages, and Waving Flag is the best I have seen since "One Shining Moment" in its early/mid 90's heyday. I know the combining of the fan and athlete shots, and I know the way they actually stayed with plays for several seconds (most sports montages these years are so fast-paced that you get no sensation of the plays).
