No Death Cab Thread?

[jude376]

Am I missing something?
 
 Anyway, I've never been to Constipation Hall. Set times indicate the show will prolly be over well before midnight - when the metro turns back into a pumpkin.
 
 What do folks recommned? Worth driving?

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Well there's one decent to good band on the bill, and it's not Death Cab.

[jude376]

Surely you jest.

[vassego]

Parking is pretty bad, but the metro is not near DAR either.  You should probably just drive and try and get there early.

[jude376]

Blech. I was afraid of that. Thanks for the advice.

[vassego]

No problem. Have a good time.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

No, it took me awhile to appreciate them, but now I do think that Franz Ferdinand is about the best thing that those folks across the big pond have to offer.

I liked a few songs off their first album...their second album I haven't really given much of a listen. We'll see if they win me over tonight.
 
 But my heart still belongs to Benny G.

I'm there for FF all the way... Call me old fashioned but I happen to like Verse Chorus Verse songwriting and very few of DFCF songs really grab my interest, they are nice sonic wallpaper...

Sonic wallpaper. That'd be a fabulous album title.
 
 For me, the Death Cab appeal is more about the lyrics and the "sound." (Although I think you'd find Plans a little more to your liking in the song structure department.)

Deathcab is a snoozefest.

I think tonight will be the....tenth or eleventh time I've seen Death Cab.  I disagree that they're a snoozefest, or even nice sonic wallpaper.  It certainly doesn't RAWK, and it isn't pop music really...I just think they write really well thought out songs.  
 
 I have long loved their records and enjoy what they do.  Lyrics are important, and I think Walla is an outstanding engineer and an extremely tasteful guitar player.

Yes yes, Alex said snoozefest.  Apologies.
 
 Hooks!  You'd like some of the stuff on Plans for sure - "Your Heart is an Empty Room" is a great song with a solid hook to it.  In general, its an album with more hooks; Transatlanticism has a fair amount too.

[jude376]

Transatlanticism is one of my favorite Death Cab albums. Ever.
 
 Thanks for chiming in callat703! I was beginning to think I was the last, lonely Death Cab fan out there.
