So judgemental….but we always know where you stand, don't we. Do you hate Postal Service too? (I don't know Kweller…)

I wish…had been waiting for Death Cab since i missed them last time, but I have a wedding on Saturday, and was planning on playing it by ear on whether or not I could sneak out early, but since it's sold out, my plans are set. More drinks at the open bar for the Sock.

Isnt Kweller on Woxy all the time with the moderately annoying "rules" song?

Hey Mark, did you see the Bigger Lovers covered an "Only Ones" tune on their new album? Maybe they'll play it for you.

But for someone who claims to love pop music, to not like Death Cab is ridiculous.

i wouldn't miss it for the world. While Death Cab isn't the best band live, they are awesome artists and just hearing it… *swoon*

I disagree, a lot of their music is pretty straight forward indie rock/emo. The new album is a bit poppier, but they are hardly pop like postal service or erasure.

I think the guys sickly sweet voice is better suited to the electronica.

I cant say I thought DCfC were at all poppy. The songs I have heard didnt grab me at all. No instant big hooks.

I saw Kosmo played the cover of another girl another planet at one of his last DJ nights.

You did play a bigger lovers song too, though?

Sorry for not memorising each and every one of your playlists :roll:

By the way, I'm looking for an extra ticket, if any of the regulars here have one….

Perhaps I am really focusing on the new album, since that is what I've listenend to lately. I have a few holes in my DC catalog, but you can never find them at used stores…it's so irritating.

I think I posted on this topic earlier, but when I saw them earlier at the start of this tour, Death Cab was disappointing live. The lead singer was really out of tune. Please post a review of how the tour has (hopefully) progressed as they will be returning to SF next month and I would like to see them again, but only if it's improved.

2 out of 2 in my experience, only going this time because somebody else wanted to go

This is kind of unrelated, but also kind of related, does anyone remember the last time The Postal Service played DC?

I believe the only time Postal Service has played here was at the Black Cat 4/15/03
