FSRN: "So Far Around the Bend"- The National

Not only did the National compose one of the best albums of 2007 (GET BOXER NOW), they curated what could be one of the best albums of 2009 (the Red Hot compilation "Dark Was The Night"). One of my favorite tracks off of the first DWTN disc is the National's own "So Far Around the Bend." It's unusually upbeat for a National track, but the melancholy lyrics ruminating on loneliness and depression are nothing new. Enjoy.

FSRN: "No You Girls" by Franz Ferdinand

Pretty cool video for arguably the best track off of the latest Franz Ferdinand album. Enjoy.

FSRN: "Geraldine" by Glasvegas

"FSRN" stands for "Favorite Song Right Now." I'll try to post a few songs a week. These will be my favorites tracks off of albums, or just random new singles, or songs that I've loved and am revisiting.

This song, "Geraldine" by Glasvegas, combines the fuzzy, shoegaze elements of Jesus & Mary Chain but douses it in classic, melancholy Britpop. Enjoy.
