shit is for teenage girls and the boys who love them.

good demographic. good market. not much soul.

i walked out on their live set back during bumbershoot oh so long ago now. i sat for a bit, then looked over at my friend who made me go, shrugged, and said 'let's go'.

the hacky sack stoners on the key arena floor were the most entertainment during that set.

and furthermore BG is not cute... just creepy. that is all.

If you think that Death Cab is crappy music, you are the one without a soul.

All right. Ben Gibbard looks like Corey Feldman . . . so what? He plays some sweet guitar and has a great sense of blending multiple cadences. I've also heard him capture the meaninglessness of it all in his melody and lyrics - a current-day existentialist. My .02
