Death Cab for Cutie
I just got home from their concert. I have been amazed. They sound fantastic. They sound like they do on their records, and given how much I love their records, that’s a massive compliment. Crooked teeth, soul meets body, tiny vessels, transatlanticism, I will possess your heart - all so fantastic.
But the one thing I have not got a large enough vocabulary for is how Ben Gibbard sang...
