Q LIVE
Tori treated me to tickets to
Q Live at Glenn Gould Studio. and it was a stellar show.The National were the live musical guests. They played 2 brand new, unreleased songs: "Rylan" and "I Need My Girl".
.Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) then joined them for a beautiful rendition of Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVZwj9Lex7NQ4x4c9Aw6KfyZ1StPYMJgP7yD9j7k7BwvCkkmnIvPWlNU21jRejYdg6-e18uIFXCQ2ybGYOrJNSyJvLLem1yPhHb2JE8reLzNDdQONWrhGRQcFermYpi0CIo649lrxpJbP_/s400/from+tori.jpg)
