Is there a better band working in America right now than The National? I don’t think so. I don’t think you will argue with me after you witness this exceptional live performance of “Afraid Of Everyone” that the band performed live on David Letterman only a few hours ago. Oh and guess what who adds guest vocals? Sufjan fucking Stevens. Why are you still reading this? Watch it already:
Favorite it, like it. Hit replay. Right now.
