There was a quite a hubbub (God, I hate that word) recently about the likes of Death For Cutie, Bon Iver, and Thom Yorke possibly setting out on a tour of the U.S. of A.’s Hot Topic stores in support of the New Moon soundtrack. Well, part of that...

But sadly even Ben Gibbards beautiful voice couldn't get me through this one. I just finally came back to the wonderful mogosphere (forgive my hiatus ive been... lazy). And the first things I spot is information about a new song by Death Cab. And then I read the bit about it only to sigh sadly that it is for New Moon, the newest edition in the Twilight films. LAME. But you are deathcab and i fo...
Saturday’s concert was, hands down, one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to (and I go to a ton of shows).The evening was simply magical.Ra Ra Riot opened with a short but solid set drawing from their debut The Rhumb Line. Although they faltered at first, they gained confidence with each song, culminating with a spectacular rendition of "Oh, La" that was ringing in my head all night.They wer
From 2008's Narrow Stairs, "Cath…" is the kind of piercing, evocative character sketch Ben Gibbard seems to be able to write in his sleep.As a bride poses for wedding photos, her unfortunate match is starkly revealed in the glare of flashbulbs. Cath's quiet desperations, ticking clocks, and her final resignation to a half-happy marriage are laid bare to the whole congregation. Despite this seve.
Decided I should probably devote some of the early days of this project to stuff for the Best Of 08 list (due late this week/early next). This seemed like a good place to start.Death Cab For Cutie always fell into the category of bands that people I know always liked, but I never got around to hearing them. I was passingly familiar with The Postal Service since their debut (I heard "The Distric...

...that the new Death Cab album is just a total pop nugget from start to finish, albeit a nugget with more than a little bitterness right there at the end. This though, is like an outtake from Pet Sounds. Good shit. Surprising. It makes me smile everytime I hear it. Come to think of it, Brian Wilson is all over this record, in all his shimmering sixties faded pop glory.
Death Cab For Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard is lucky that the scorpion that bit him in his "show pants" didn't aim any higher. Gibbard, put on a pair of pants before the band's San Diego show last week and was reportedly bit twice! by the nasty scorpion pictured above. Don't worry too much. All is well, and despite being a little shaken up, seems the scorpion bite made Gibbard stronger as the EMT'...
Death Cab For Cutie are going to have themselves a fun turning-of-the-leaves season. Not only are they hitting up Europe and major venues like New York's Radio City Music Hall, but they'll be kickin' it with Neil Young for some Canadian stops (Wilco will link up with Young, following DCFC.)In addition to the tour the band have announced an exclusive five-song Rhapsody.com release. The session w...
