The National

New signed and unsigned prints to support their crew



I don’t think I’m going to get one but I really like them. I already have 4 National related pieces hanging in my apartment, soon to be 5 when the frame for the Cherry Tree Vol. 3 print arrives. But I really like these pieces!

I think they are pretty cool, but no way could I afford the signed ones (that are now all sold out). Debated unsigned, but decided not to. I wish The National would stop tempting me to spend so much money... I rested this time though!
 
I'm sure I'm not the only one who received an email about a typo on the Soundwaves Art website--the artworks are actually limited to 100 copies each, not 50 as originally stated. Not an issue for me, but the email opens the door to cancellation for anyone tweaked by the error, so perhaps there will be some availability for anyone who regrets missing out?
 
My final copy of Serpentine Prison (translucent chartreuse) is finally shipping! Was reading the shipping email and found this bit (in red - emphasis mine) at the bottom funny yet ridiculously sad... who would actually try to contact MB about their order????? :oops:

Lol. I think the National and the companies they partner with are just very savvy and proactive about setting boundaries with their customers.

You should reply and ask them to give you his number just so you can be sure you know which one not to text.

I got mine a couple of weeks ago. That seems really late... I think it's worth giving them a shout.

Agreed. They were all supposed to ship out like 3 weeks ago. Odd that you haven't received it yet. Email cherry tree, they're great and will address it right away. Hope you get it soon!
 
The Bros working support at Cherry Tree sent me a new jacket and print. A+ support experience. Good band. Good support. Would do business again for the 2021 release in 2023.
 
When will they announce the 2022 tour? They had said more dates were going to be announced for the US and Europe for next year, but they've been so silent lately...not one bit of news. I get that Aaron is busy with Big Red Machine, but I haven't even seen Matt post anything on Instagram recently. I wonder if something is coming...or do I just want something to be coming?


Anyway, the new Big Red Machine is great. Way better than I expected. Love love love it.

That's awesome! I've been to that shop in Portland twice and been very unimpressed, so that's s double-score!

I was underwhelmed at first. Walked right by the new release section and couldn't find anything I wanted in the regular A-Z section. It was totally by accident that I spotted the new arrivals / used section. The 7" was literally just sitting there waiting for me - it wasn't filed in with others, it was sideways in the bin right in front. I think that might have been only the third time I've made an audible gasp when finding a record. I have a copy, but I ended up buying it for my daughter who is beyond thrilled. I also grabbed the new MMJ and the latest Dawes.

I will say the guys behind the register were great. They asked if I had an account, and I said I had only ordered online, this was the first time I was in store. He pulled mine up and saw that I had two existing accounts, so he merged them and said I had enough points for half off the MMJ.

Timing is everything I suppose. :D Last time I was there (early last month), I thought I might have to check for pulses in the two people working the counter, but eventually decided it was easier to just leave. I actually was in Brunswick, ME, though, about 30 min. north, so just realizing it probably wasn't the same place you mentioned. Oops... Anyway, very cool find.

Technically, it was the South Portland location. It appears that the downtown Portland one is closed for good? Was that the store where they fired people / weren't requiring masks or something like that? I recall there was some controversy not too long ago.

Anyway, we were staying in Old Port, and if it weren't windy and a bit chilly, we probably would have walked the 1.2 miles to the store. Glad we ubered instead, as it seemed like a much longer walk than we would have liked as we drove over the bridge on the bay. Absolutely love the city, and look forward to going back soon.

And, to keep this post on topic, we considered going to the Nat's Portland show in 2019 that was not at the State Theatre, but at Thompson's Point. I recall all too well, it poured at that show (we were at the DC show the night before and flew to Montreal that morning of the Maine show) That was the night that the Nat's bus hit a moose on the drive to Montreal :oops:
