Matt Berninger | Broken Record Today we have part two of our run of interviews with The National in celebration of their new album,Β First Two Pages of Frankenstein.

Very odd - not sure what's happening here, but that's not our podcast. That's a show called Broken Record from Pushkin. www.pushkin.fm/podcasts/bro...

GRAMMYs 2026 Performance | Post Malone, Slash, Duff McKagan, Chad Smith & Andrew Watt - War Pigs
GRAMMYs 2026 Performance | Post Malone, Slash, Duff McKagan, Chad Smith & Andrew Watt - War Pigs YouTube video by Marcelo Magno Lopes

Lars and I got pretty snarky re the Grammys on this wk's show, but I have to say doing an in memoriam to "War Pigs" is a baller move. And it's a pretty crushing cover. Post Malone - not an obvious choice, but he nails it. (Maybe just swap out Watt w/St. Vincent) www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAgw...

This reminds me of the story McCartney tells of a night smoking up with Dylan. Certain he’d discovered the true meaning of everything, the next morning he finds a note in his pocket he’d written that simply said, β€œthere are seven levels.”

Hearing Beck’s sublime cover of β€œEverybody’s Gotta Learn Sometime” for the first time in maybe 20 years made everything better - also madly in love with the Friko and Asher White; plus @totalvibration.bsky.social shares some fab discoveries, including the one song that sets the stage for 2026. ❀️

That’s my dog as well. HAS to be touching me at all times. Just a paw on my arm or leg will do. Dogs are the best.

Remembering Rob Reiner, who made movies for people who love them The movies Reiner directed, from A Few Good Men to The Princess Bride, weren't just good β€” they were people's favorites, the types of films people come back to again and again.
