Last week a winner was named in the video contest held for The National's recent track "Exile Vilify," which was used in the video game Portal 2. The song came out back in April as part of a few post-High Violet murmurs we've been getting from the Brooklyn brooders. The video follows around a saddened sock and its forlorn hooded puppetmaster through some pretty breathtaking scenery. The characteristic heart-in-stomach feeling that consumes you as a result of most of The National's exquisite catalog takes no vacation here. Watch below:

[video] The National - "Conversation 16"
Brooklyn brood-rock kings The National just put out a video for their song "Conversation 16." The track serves as the second single off of their outstanding, best-of-2010 list-topping album, High Violet. The video features "Mad Men" star John Slattery and "Flight Of The Conchords"/"Daily Show" star Kristin Schaal, along with the men of The National, in this political spoof of sorts. This video just continues to show the dynamic nature of this incredible band. They create some of the greatest dark music out there, but in outlets like these, they are also able show their more fun-loving side, demonstrating that they never take themselves too seriously. Enjoy the video below:
