Death Cab for Cutie – Meet Me On The Equinox

Death Cab for Cutie just released a new single on the Twighlight Saga: New Moon soundtrack entitled Meet Me On The Equinox, and it’s better than any of the songs on their most recent release, Narrow Stairs. (By the way, if you still haven’t picked up the Open Door EP then you should check it out).

If you’re like, “WTF is an equinox?” here’s a…

New Death Cab For Cutie EP – Open Door

Death Cab for Cutie has a new EP our called Open Door and it’s solid – but not awesome. The Open Door EP comes not long after their most recent full length, Narrow Stairs. Narrow Stairs was a bit of a return to their roots. If you were Plans fan you probably disliked Narrow Stairs; if you were a Photo Album fan you…

My Favorites of 2008

Everyone’s making a 2008 favorites list it seems. I strongly desire to be liked by people I don’t know on the internet, so I guess I should too. I hate ranking music though…I hate it…why am I even doing this? You know what, screw it. I’m not numbering anything, I’m just listing them. Maybe I won’t be prom king, but I feel good.

My list is slightly different than…

Death Cab Blogging

I feel like a Death Cab Junkie I’ve been writing so much about them lately…I guess that’s what happens when a favorite band releases a new disc. Anyhow, they guest blogged for a day (yesterday) at Sterogum, and I think some of them are worth reading.

I always like it when a band suddenly becomes “human” as you just see them through some normal interaction (not…

A Beach Weekend Playlist

Watch Death Cab For Cutie’s I Will Posess Your Heart

Well, awhile ago I mentioned Death Cab will be coming out with a new disc, and later I mentioned their new single. With the new album arriving next week (May 14), in case you haven’t heard the single “I Will Posses Your Heart” yet and you weren’t sure about whether you should buy new Death Cab, check out this video.

I’m not saying the video is great (I…

Death Cab For Cutie’s New Single – I Will Posess Your Heart

So Death Cab released their first single off their new album, Narrow Stairs. It’s called I Will Possess Your Heart and it’s really, really good. It’s unlike anything off of Plans and much more similar to Photo Album. It’s dark, and it’s an instrumental for the first three minutes or so, then the singing begins…

Death Cab For Cutie – Narrow Stairs

Death Cab For Cutie has a new record slated to arrive in May 2008 entitled “Narrow Stairs” They have a short little video on their website that’s a fun watch.

The artwork is interesting, it is a big shift from their last album, “Plans” and seems to match more of the “Photo Album” and “Something About Airplanes” feel…
