Teenage girl blogs about music. That's all.

“Bloodbuzz Ohio,” the first single released from The National’s upcoming High Violet (released May 11 on 4AD) has quickly become one of the my favorite songs of the year.  The band has released another track today, the slow-building “Afraid of Everyone.”  Like many National songs, it’s got drug references (“I don’t have the drugs to sort it out”), paranoia (“I’m afraid of everyone”) and incredibly tight percussion.  Check it out here.
