They play at same time as Foals and Heartless Bastards and the end of their set overlaps with the beginning of Kendrick Lamar, which is a show I refuse to miss... There is going to be some tough decision making around that time.

I got to see both Kendrick Lamar and the National back-to-back at Bonnaroo, and I wouldn't be too worried about missing some of Kendrick. I'm a huge fan, but I was pretty disappointed with his show -- a lot of really awkward silences and spots where he would just stop and have the crowd rap for him. I've seen the National twice now and both times they've put on an amazing show.

I'm real torn on The National, not only because of KL, but because of them playing at the same time as Heartless Bastards and Foals. Have you seen Heartless Bastards or Foals play? Honest question...because I've never seen them...?

I hate it when rappers do that. I hope he doesn't do that during Lolla. My wife loves KL...that's one of the concerts (along with Eric Church) that she insists on going to, so I probably will have to be early for that one.

Speaking of KL, I LOVE this video. Skip forward to the 2:16 mark. Gives me the chills. I'd love it if something like this happened at Lolla.
