WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

A Fractured Faerie Tale Brought to You by The Death Cab. And wine.

Posted over 2 years ago
So I will admit right off the bat that I became a DCFC fan about the same time everyone else did. I had heard of them for a while but didn't really listen until this song came along.Me and my friends went to see Death Cab recently. One of my concert rituals is to call those friends who are fans of the band but are not in attendance at the show. This often includes folks who live in different cities in different time zones who may or may not be aware that I'm going to a show that evening. This makes for fun email messages the next day:TO: Hello_MimiFROM: Bad AndyDate: Wednesday, November 28, 2006Time: Approximately 10:30 p.m.Glasses of wine had: Approximately 2. Point 5. [Cell rings.] BA: Who the hell is calling me? [Picks up phone, sees "Mimi" on screen. Thinks, "Oh, I called Mimi earlier. I wonder why she's calling me on my cell phone?"] BA: Hello? Music, via cell phone: Rrrr eee rrr rrr aahh ee rrr rrr waa ee rr rrr waaaaah... BA: Hello?! [Thinks, "Mimi is unaware her phone has dialed me. Likely the first person in her address book I am. And also Yoda." Sees story potential. Laughs out loud, evilly.] BA: HELLO HELLO HELLO. Music, via phone: Rrr ee rrr rrr ahh eee rr rrr waaahhhh... Mimi: WOOOOOOOOOOOO! Mimi's phone: Click. The End! And now, I'm going to bed. Hope you had a good time, wherever you were, and that the sound quality there was better.TO: Bad AndyFROM: Hello_MimiLOVE IT! Wish I had time to post it in my blog. It was Death Cab for Cutie and I think the song was Soul Meets Body. I don't remember. I remember enjoying the song greatly. Sorry the sound wasn't great, but glad my WOOOOOOOOO came thru clearly.Also, while Yoda you may be, you are not first in my phone since listed as Bad Andy are you.Toodles!MeemersFROM: Bad AndyTO: Hello_MimiSo wait. Did you call me intentionally or no?And now that you mention it, it was TOTALLY Soul Meets Body! That is too funny... I bet they were great live.Laters!TO: Bad AndyFROM: Hello_MimiYes, it was intentional. You were the only person I thought of calling because I was pretty sure you were the only person I know who actually knows who Death Cab are. I'm amazed I remembered what song it was!Love you darling!MeemersTO: Hello_MimiFROM: Bad AndyThere are people who don't know who Death Cab are????? Who are these people?Certainly not these people:These are two highly satisfied Death Cab fans.
