Karen is the by far the weirdest arrangement they ever did and it somehow works. Jumping from the key of G Major to C Minor, and THEN to B flat is so wacky but they nail it

'Secret Meeting' was the first National song I'd ever heard, and pretty much entirely responsible for kickstarting me onto them.



Same. Still a top 3 National song for me — could even be a contender for #1.



Looking for Astronauts is so underrated. One of my favorites as well, but it’s rarely mentioned.

Pretty much every song is classic, but Secret Meeting, Friend Of Mine, and Geese Of Beverly Road are probably my favorites these days
