And for Caroline, Vincent Kartheiser!

Here’s a cell phone photo of The National playing “Lemonworld” at the Electric Factory:

Hot Chip and The XX, live in DC.
Last Saturday, I went to the 9:30 with a friend to see Hot Chip and the XX. Now, I absolutely love The XX’s self-titled album, as well as Hot Chip (One Life Stand sits just The Warning in their discography), and I was out of town during Hot Chip’s last DC stop, so I had never seen either band live. I would honestly say that this show was my most-anticipated show of this year. So, you know, no pressure. Thoughts, stolen photos, live recordings and setlists after the jump:

I haven’t been posting much, and for that, I’m sorry. Baby, you know I never meant to hurt you.
By way of amends, a Cute Overload photo of a bunny in a bowl:
* The title is a play on lapse and lapin, the French word for rabbit. I am probably too proud of myself for this one.
