What the fuck? Just saw this video of a screamo band called Confide covering The Postal Service's "Such Great Heights". I'm already uncomfortable listening to The Postal Service, but these guys just took things to a level that makes me want to cut my ears off, pick up a self destructive habit, and not take part in a society that could spawn this type of fuckery. I don't even understand how thes...

The other day Ben Gibbard, one half of the Postal Service duo, twittered about a clip of a song “Space Gods” that will appear on the new album due out soon. Take a listen:mp3: The Postal Service - Space Gods (Clip)That sounds like a pretty spectacular song there. Chopped up flamenco guitar fused with Gibbard’s [...]

I just finished watching this horribly depressing drama, Imaginary Heroes (2004) and realized that the only ones who could be considered abnormal are those who are least aware that life is nothing more than tragic.

The Postal Service gives "such great heights" such a different feel than Iron and Wine does. It's originally by Iron and Wine. the lyrics are quite sad, which is the tone that Iron and Wine sings it in. But The Postal Service is known for its upbeat tempos, no one can stop ben gibbard and jimmy tamborello from making their amazing beats. Sad, slow songs that come their way won't phase them at a...

This song just makes me so happy every time I listen to it. I don't know if it's the little eletronic beats or the lyrics. Something about it though puts a smile on my face. Not like a McDonalds way though.LyricsI am thinking it's a sign that the frecklesIn our eyes are mirror images and whenWe kiss they're perfectly alignedAnd I have to speculate that God himselfDid make us into corresponding ...

I went to see Wicker Park because I like Josh Hartnett. He is kinda cute, isnt he? hahah...For all basically, Wicker Park is a superbly told tale of love and loss, obsession, and how far some people will go in the name of love. I also like to believe it's romantic when a man becomes obssessed enough with you to ask you out on a date. This is not a film for anyone who like linear plot and easil...

For anyone who's ever wondered what that song was you heard in the background of a particular commercial, here's a site where they attempt to catalog as much of it as possible. The site is called adtunes.com, and it's a great place to look if those likeable 30-second snippets aren't enough for you.I remember years ago VW had a commercial that featured "Pink Moon" by Nick Drake, and I wished at ...

Sleeping InSleepy Sunday, The Sunday Sleep, ah it's all the same. An excuse to glorify the right to do nothing but rest your peeps.Last week I had the strangest dreamWhere everything was exactly how it seemedWhere there was never any mystery of who shot John F. KennedyIt was just a man with something to proveSlightly bored and severely confusedHe steadied his rifle with his target in the center...

well just a wee bit Postal Service-y at least.I should qualify, I'm wanting to post the rarer Postal Service tracks. The other day I posted about the compliation Dark Was The Night. Kevin, Rawkkidoh, mentioned the Mushaboom (remix) that The Postal Service reworked with Feist. I though I should post some of their lesser known, rare cuts, that I have compiled....some may be new to you...hopefu...

Boy, oh boy...have I been busy. Today ends Open Enrollment for health insurance and benefits (that sounds so exciting, doesn't it?), and I am absolutely wacked.I have been checking posts when I can, but mostly I have got my head down and getting things done.I just wanted to post a wee something to take my mind off of the number crunching and all that attention to detail and endless hours of pa...

Wow...I think Ben Gibbard is the most powerful man in music! The man has stroke...and the cool part is he is using it for good, not evil....He is like the pied piper, he put a myspace bulletin out and the masses have descended upon MOG!!! When I put a myspace bulletin up about MOG the only thing I got were invites to watch insanely hot girls with exotic sounding names on their web cams!!Welcom...
