UPDATE: Thanks to Sam, check out this interview on NPR’s Bryant Park Project with Death Cab. Enjoy, and thanks be to Sam!
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…
Jimmy is coming out with a new disc. It’s a deluxe edition of their previous release, “Bleed American.”
It’s a pretty cool story that brought forth Bleed American. Their previous disc, “Clarity” — which is my favorite album ever — had gotten them dropped from their record label, Capital Records. Rather than hanging it…
Today was a gorgeous day in DC. If I could’ve had a theme song that matched the feeling this weather gives you, it would probably be Stars’ Bitches in Tokyo.
This is off my favorite CD of 2007…
I recently discovered these guys: Balún. So far, I think I’m digging it. I’m always down for finding new instrumental driven bands (Ratatat, Sigur Ros, Explosions in the Sky), and especially electronic based music. They do sing on some songs…and I don’t really like those tracks as much…
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…
These guys are amazing. My friend Phil accurately described Ratatat when he said they have a way that “makes you feel like you’re in your own secret world, and you know something no one else knows.”

Copeland continues to rank in my top five with each and every new piece of music they produced. Listen to this song if you’re in a chill and reflective mood. I am always skeptical of the discs bands put out that contain “alternate versions”
