Tuesday night, Jeremy and I headed up to Indianapolis to see urlLink Death Cab for Cutie at the urlLink The Patio . It was a good show, and they played a lot of stuff from their new album (which I love) and a lot of old stuff too. At times, however, I felt they were rushing through songs. The best part was getting there early enough to see opening band and DCFC label mates urlLink The Long Winters . I've have a few of their songs (lllegally downloaded...shh! ), but seeing them live made a fan out of me. They had a lot of energy and a great chemistry with the crowd. They played a wonderful song called 'Cinnamon' that broke down in the middle with an homage to Neil Young's 'Cinnamon Girl. ' AND they did a fantastic cover of Madonna's 'Don't Tell Me' from Music. They made a polished pop song sound so raw and passionate. Of course, though, I'm a sucker for covers. There's a great site, urlLink The Covers Project , which comprehensively lists tons of bands and the artists who have covered your favorite songs.
It's pretty amazing. Ok, only two more tangents here: I got to see Byron at the show and found out he's started his own blog, (what cool person hasn't? ) urlLink So there I was, in the Congo... . Check it out; it's pretty byronious. AND, being at the show with all the emo boys and girls made me think of one of my favorite Onion articles about urlLink disaster at a Yo La Tengo show . Oh and there's a DCFC shout out at the end.
