We were listening to KEXP the other day and my wife commented on the band being played by saying, "They sound like a bunch of clueless 15 year olds playing in someones garage."...or something like that.
 
 Turned out to be a Dismemberment Plan song.

I'm not a huge fan, although I do own a couple albums and dig them when they come up on random play, I honestly haven't spent that much time listening to them although I've been familiar with them for a while.  I think for the most part they were a pretty beloved DC band right?  Not that this necessarily proves anything, or that I'm trying to prove anything, but Pitchfork rated their album "Change" #53 on the Best Albums of 2000-2004 and "Emergency & I" #16 on the Greatest Albums of the 1990's...

There's reason enough for Rhett and the Bitch to hate the band.

I first saw The Dismemberment Plan very early in their career and always thought they sounded like 4 guys playing different songs at the same time.  Later I was given a copy of "Emergency & I" and it all clicked.  That is a great album.

Don't discount them on that.  I did and regret it.  Emergency and I, check some of it out on amazon or the like.  Some great songs, only a few bad lines in the songs, but the playing is great.

Specifically, The City.  That is such a good song.

i would say "spider in the snow" is my favorite off that album ... i think it sums up the experience of living in DC in your early 20s really really well
 
 --------------------
 The only thing worse than bad memories
 Is no memories at all
 From the age of 20 to 22 I had five friends
 None of whose names I can recall
 And as I would walk down K Street to some temping job
 As winter froze the life out of fall
 Yeah, I mustâ??ve been having a ball
 
 Different scene outside your window now
 Same VCR, same cats
 Different people at the very same job
 Similar alley, different rats
 The trash goes out on a Tuesday now
 You got to make a note about that
 Yeah, this time youâ??re where itâ??s at
 
 You canâ??t say it but I know that itâ??s in there
 You donâ??t know it but I know that youâ??re scared
 Obvious and lonelyâ??a spider in the snow
 
 Now you find the very same pit still yawns
 Deep down within the very same gut
 The very same ghosts still seem to haunt you down
 Down those lines you always tried to cut
 You thought you just might need a little change
 And now you find you got nothing but
 How can a body move the speed of light
 And still find itself in such a rut?
 
 You canâ??t say it but I know that itâ??s in there
 You donâ??t know it but I know that youâ??re scared
 Obvious and lonelyâ??afraid to not let go
 
 You canâ??t say it but I know itâ??s in there
 You donâ??t know it but I know that youâ??re scared
 Obvious and lonelyâ??a spider in the snow
