Death Cab Were On Gossip Girl Last Night?
Today your regular bloggers have been replaced by Ben, Chris, Nick, and Jason of Death Cab For Cutie. The band's new album Narrow Stairs is out now. DCFC are not professional bloggers, so please send them tips.
By Chris Walla
I keep hearing about this Gossip Girl. There's this one picture of her with her and her hot friends, spread out like margarine all over a Lincoln Town Car. Are they going to dinner? What's on the stereo while they drive? Is it our band? What world could I possibly be living in?
That guy sitting in the back seat of the town car -- he's the one I don't trust. I think he should go.
My friend Nick is a really good actor, he's got some stuff going on in Hollywood -- you know, connected to some big people at small studios.
I'm pretty much convinced he should be the one on the arm of the cute girl in the black dress on the right, Gossip Girl Associate 1. I wonder what her name is on the show? Actually, I'm just going to name them all now. From left to right: Shane Carroll (on trunk); Mindy McGarry (suggestive hand on thigh); Simon Jarrett (bowtie, on roof); Todd Stanford (backseat -- we've already discussed this.); Carrie Wright (red dress, on the roof); and Kat Branson (cute black dress, presumably the trusty sidekick).
I can't wait to see this show. Maybe I'll watch with the volume down and listen to In Rainbows ... Feeding two birds with one seed.

Is this whole DCFC blog day on Stereogum finally over? I hope so, because I missed my regular bloggers keeping me entertained and informed while trying to pass the workday. Not to mention, every word spouted by Chris was greeted as if it were the word of God (and with 3-paragraph-long comment responses, to foot.)

Ok, so I saw the link to this whole thing from myspace, I'd never heard of stereogum.com, but I think I will soon to be a regular visitor. Anyway I don't know the best way of getting something somewhere where Chris, Jason, Nick or Ben will get to read it, but I hope this works, because bassicly honestly one of my life goals is to talk to one of you, or all, just about music and your life, and my life in music. I'm 14, and currently in an Indie Folk Pop band from Olympia, Washington. We've been doing some local shows and local recordings are are just getting into the world of music. myspace.com/watch4traces if you'd like to listen to it it would seriousy make my life to know sombody of your talent and music knowledge has listened to our music. So I often wonder about your real lives, or outside of the press and interviews. Like do you ever take a moment and realize what your doing with your life, and just slow down and be like, "Whooo I'm playing music, for my life, and before I die I'm going to look back on this, and contemplate if it was what I wanted to do" and of course you'll say yes, or Ben might say "fuck no, Short stop for the Seattle Mariners, but they didn't do so good this year anyway so maybe not. So I always wonder about musicians childhoods, because I'm a musician and a child and just wondering how your life compared to how mine currently is. Do you remember your first show. If so and its sentimental, would you ever think of going back and trying to replicate that show as close as possible, or is it sorta the has passed thing? So I'd love to just talk music with you guys, and do things you did in your past, such as jam, but none of that cover jam or unproductive un-fun. My bandmate and I made a jam called "Call of the Birds" and itsl ike an african tribal jam that we've done in pitch black for like 50 minutes non stop, sorta like I will possess your heart, we made it before it was release tho so its not like a copy. So I feel like I've completly blew any opprotunity I'll ever get of actually talking to any of you about one of the greatest things ever music, something so beautiful, and creative.

I may not be a Ben Gibbard or Chris Walla, but I think what you are doing with your passion for music is really cool and mature. "When I was your age," most of my 13 year old peers couldn't give two rocks about listening to good music , nevermind making it. Best of luck.

After reading this "article" and then listening to the demos for "The Con," I realize now that Chris Walla is a shit producer and he ruined Tegan and Sara's lastest album.
Score = -1
Wow. That's a really caustic comment. What is it about anonymity that gives people the balls to be raging assholes? Bingo, I would love to see your production prowess at work since you seem so confident that you can do better.

By the way, I happen to know that Tegan & Sara are incredibly happy with their album. It's a shame you think they're "ruined."
