Death Cab For Cutie Open Windows on Current TV

Current TV has been promoting their Death Cab For Cutie Special “Open Windows” pretty hard so I am feeling the peer pressure to write about it and smoke newport cigarettes. The half hour program which original airing strategically coincided with the bands new lp release “Narrow Windows” this past tuesday breaks Current TV’s traditional POD form of 5 to 7 minute content. However it is keeping with the Current Fix’s other music specials like the Portishead and Radiohead simulcast.

This time out the band seems set to let the imperfections of being and live in perpetuity on the record. Off the record this band seems to hit all the right notes, with a reference to Chewbacca ( the original wingman) or and Obama poster leaning against a wall. Ben Gibbard states he has always been about lionizing the small moments in his life which I think is an apt description of Deathcab’s music. A string of small moments.

It’s always exciting to hear a band discuss their process and their new project. I do wish these guys were a little more excited about it.

      Do You Remember Rock & Roll?

      If not, let the Alabama Shakes remind you. They’re selling out shows across the country and their debut album isn’t even out for another couple months. I managed to see these blues-infused soul grabbers play a jam packed show at the Indy in San Francisco last night. Best overpriced scalped ticket I ever bought! Don’t [...]

      Did You Hear That: Adele “21″ a brief review

      From the first beat of “Rolling in the Deep,” the first track on Adele’s new album, “21”, it is clear that even at such a young age (all of 22 now), singer/songwriter Adele continues to be a force stronger than she may know. As “21” dips into the style of the country South with a [...]

      So Sayeth Pam: The Raveonettes “Forget That You’re Young”

      I like a young American band that makes vintage-sounding reverbalicious melodies. Specifically if those bands are Crystal Stilts, Vivian Girls or Dum Dum Girls. Call me a nationalist but I just happen to prefer their take on fuzz pop to that of their Danish predecessors, the Raveonettes. Which is not to say I dislike the [...]
