TA (see previous post) told me about how the National formed as a band.
Apparently Matt Berninger had a huge loft in Brooklyn were he used to hang out with friends. TA told him he should do something more inspiring than just play pool and smoke, so Matt started a band.
TA told him to book a concert at Radio City Hall, and that he needed to create some kind of a signature act, like walking through the audience with a really long microphone cable.
I think he might be lying, though. In fact, I made all of that up. I'm the liar.
