For the next three weeks we’ll be posting up classic shows from The Black Sessions series – a radio show from France that has been running since 1992 (click here for more info on the show). Kicking things off we have a fantastic set from The National – recorded in 2005 whilst the band were touring Aligator, this is a really beautiful set featuring jaw dropping performances of All The Wine and Daughters Of The Soho Riots. Listening to this certainly wets the appetite even more for upcoming new album Boxer which is released May 21st on Beggars Banquet.
Enjoy the show and remember to check back next monday for the next show in our Black Sessions series, take our word for it – its a classic.

Thanks for these. I downloaded them last fall when they were on a different site, but somehow I deleted them. I blame alcohol.
