I went to the Death Cab concert over the weekend, and they were amazing! I was in a trance, tripping out to the music and the lights. Anyway, their latest album is Narrow Stairs. Yes, their last album Plans wasn't quite as amazing as Transatlanticism, providing good excuse for thinking that Narrow Stairs wouldn't be as good either. Maybe I'm starting to sell out, but for bands that enter the music scene with a smashingly good first album, it's difficult to top that with a second album. This period, the period right after they discover their first album is a HUGE hit, probably consists a lot of deciding whether they should continue to pursue this same sound, change the sound, and which is more likely to happen. This isn't quite the case with Death Cab, but Transatlanticism was probably the album that brought them to the public attention. Basically, I'm just trying to say, give their new stuff a chance to be heard and loved. One of my favorite songs off Narrow Stairs is Bixby Canyon Bridge:
They opened with this song, and it was great! Don't mind the video.

you know a lot of people I know who listen to indie and stuff that generally isn't on the radio that often still love death cab. even though they're getting more and more popular. that's a pretty great accomplishment. to maintain the original fan base while your popularity continues to grow.
ps. what about chromeo? udayan and i left you a message about their show!
