We don't get MTV's Human Giant on Cable here in Canada(well at least I don't) but some will be happy to know that the show has been renewed for a second season. The show took over MTV for 24 hours over the weekend attempting to muster enough viewer support for it and they won. Either that or it was an elaborate hoax to get MTV more publicity. Whatever. Highlights from the 24 hour event can be see over at the show's website[unfortunately, only viewable within the US]. Below are a few performances from The National that have made it onto YouTube:
YouTube: The National - "Mistaken For Strangers" (live on MTV's Human Giant - May 19, 2007)
YouTube: The National - "Apartment Story" (live on MTV's Human Giant - May 19, 2007)
The National's new album "Boxer" is out May 22, 2007. Check out a few songs("Fake Empire", "Mistaken For Strangers") from the album over at their MySpace. They start their North American tour on May 28 with a 5-night hometown stint at Bowery Ballroom in New York City. They're in Toronto on June 5 for a show at The Opera House, with openers on Shapes and Sizes. Looking forward to it.
