NPR will Webcast the National live from the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C. Jeez, I was actually thinking about going to see live music (Tortoise at the Rhythm Room), but staring at my computer and listening to the National perform live is a totally viable option as well.

I will do my best to make a recording of this show, which starts at about 10 p.m. EST; it’s not clear if NPR will offer a download as they so often graciously do.

But sit tight: Only like 31 hours and 35 minutes until this Webcast, not that I’m counting.

In the meantime, revisit the National on AOL’s the Interface.
