One of my favorite electronic/indietronica artists alongside Postal Service is Her Space Holiday. The project's sole member is Marc Bianchi- Indian Summer guitarist/vocalist. My hands-down favorite album is The Young Machines, though my favorite song is Lydia off of Manic Expressive.
I found this gem in my CDs today. In high school, I had a friend who would make me tons of mixed tapes and copy albums to CDs for me. Death Cab was my #1 all of high school, and the only band that I was into that he wasn’t already a huge fan of. So I made him this mixed CD of my favorite songs and was very nervous that he wouldn’t like it. We ended up dating, he took me to my first Death Cab show (Narrow Stairs tour) and then we got married and I walked down the asile to a piano version of “You are a Tourist”. I removed my very cringey note to him on the side, it was basically me saying how I hope I made a good mix and that I didn’t personally let the band down by choosing bad songs. Would love to hear anyone else’s cringey stories related to Death Cab from your youth (I definitely have more).
Facts will always be my favorite Death Cab album. The lyricism, instrumentals, the experience of listening to it in full- all of it is so perfect to me. There's nothing else really like it in their discography in my opinion.
It makes me hopeful and sad at the same time.
Some of my favorites include, but are not limited to: Imogen Heap, The Bird and The Bee, Freezepop, Hemlocke Springs, New Young Pony Club, They Might Be Giants, Cheekface, Ben Folds etc.
Absolutely adore this song and just wondered if there were any more songs by Death Cab like it?
The show last night was wonderful.
The 1st song he did was Steadier Footing.. I love the fact it was a handwritten setlist.
I Also met Matt Pinfield & Jimmy 😁
And we peeled the freckles from our shoulders,
Our brand new coats, so flushed and pink.
And I knew your heart I couldn’t win.
‘Cos the season’s change was a conduit,
And we left our love in our summer skin.
Lovely acoustic set. So awesome to see him perform close to 20 songs in such an intimate setting.
To the woman who was giggling in section H (orchestra left) during “Me & Magdalena,” please stay home next time.
I want a lyric tattoo with some death cab lyrics but I'm not sure what would look good/make sense as a tattoo. Also, theres so many meaningful lyrics I'm not sure where to start. What are some of your favorite lyrics from dcfc songs?
I don’t mean to be rude but yeah. We all love death cab & listen to it on Spotify more or less… maybe let’s make one thread where everyone that feels the need to can post their screenshot?
I might like this band just a little.
