FRAUDS!

OMG, somebody kill everyone besides me and Dave (and of course all the DC members and roadies ;), kill them all right now! I just got back from a killer year at college and there was this battle of the bands thingy going on at my highschool so i thought I'd check it out. I know going back to highschool... lol, what a dork. But I went cause I heard that there was this band that was a lot like death cab, all my friends were like, jamie you gotta hear Jeremy's little brother''s band "Cafe Forgoten" (formally known as the garden state loners), there, bla bla bla, SO MUCH LIKE DEATH CAB. I gotta say I gave them an honest chance, but they were NOTHING like my cabbies. They were pretty much like Jack Johnson meets, craig david with more instrumentation and last talent, lol. I wasn't so mad at them cause they, as far as I knew never claimed to sniff the plateau of platinum, the mountain of sound, the flaming crystal testicles that I wanna take in my mouth... that is DEATH CAB!!!!! BUT THEN THEY DID IT... OMG, THEY COVERED DEATH CAB! they played, I guess you might call it that but I'd rather call it "shit out through a wide anus" one of my favorite songs, CROOKED TEETH! They did it so much injustice I mean... FUCKERS, and people actually clapped, they actually applauded this travesty. I mean, if I were to take out a bible in times square, march into the middle of the street and then begin to rewrite passages, and then tear the pages, and then piss all over it while cutting my penis open so that it got caked with all sorts of fluids... would people applaud? OF COURSE NOT, SO WHY APPLUAD 'CAFE FORGOTTEN'. Total hacks. Anyway I'm glad I'm not in highschool, and I'm glad I'm embarking with Dave on officially the best summer ever planned by two people anywhere EVER. I can't wait till they start recognizing our faces and learning our names and then we'll teach them our secret language, "UMA tongue", and we can ride in the van with them and just speak. Well... until next time when I'll pretty much be in heaven this is Jamie... Signing off!!!

Let the summer of Death Cab BEGIN!

Yes, that's right, me and Jamie have decided it is def the SUMMER OF DEATH CAB and we are going to see EVERY death cab show we can get our ears on. I mean obv we aren't at Sasquatch right now (OMG EMILY YOU NEEEEEEED TO TELL ME HOW THIS WAS!!!!!!!) but we plan on doing EVERWY OTHER SHOW. Except Jamie can't fly cuz of 9/11 which is totally fucked the EXACT same thing happened to my mom it's really terrible because my parents have wanted to go to Europe for SO long and can't but I guess that's just something we have to deal with, I mean I guess everybody says everything changed after 9/11 and I never totally understood until I realized that I wouldnt be able to see Death Cab in England. It really hurts sometimes to think that you can want something so much and just NEVER get it but that's why we have music i guess. So yeah my romantic dreams of seeing Death cab three times in England have kinda fizzled but we're still gonna make it to Lollapalooza if my car makes it (Except I have to get the fucking transmission fixeD!) so its Lolla and Bonaroo...just as soon as Em gets back to me after sasquatch to see if her friend lives anywhere near chicago in illinois (I hope she does I don't remember the name of her town but she said outside chicago so it sounds VERY promising)...sounds like an EXCELLENT SUMMER OF DEATH CAB! And Jamie's coming by for a listening party later today so there's always that, I mean that's where the REAL experiences happen, with friends in good company just chillaxing and listening to DEATH CAB. Happy summer fun time yall.

OH. EM. GEE.

Oh gosh I forgot what I was going to post about..........

SIKE THE SHOW WAS LAST NIGHT!!!!!!!!

So first we ran out of gas on the interstate because Jamie forgot to fill up with gas before we left! HHAHAHA AT LEAST HE TIED HIS SHOES I THINK! Anyway, we were by the side of the road and we decided we should just let the battery go because we were right at "405" in WHTFAWVY, like THIRTY SECONDS in, and I'm sorry but you can't just turn that shit off! It'd be like taking out an I.V. drip or something...NOT POSSIBLE.

So we're like stranded for about twenty minutes and we were getting REAL UPSET and then (duh) we remembered the AAA card and it was cool, only took like thirty minutes to get to the gas station and we'd left two hours or so earlier than we planned to pre-game with some Red Bull and Pop Rocks (Jenny, this was a GREAT idea!) haha so we were STILL an hour earlier than expected, which means we got there like three or four hours early. So me and Jamie just talked about school and family stuff and Death Cab and chilled in the parking lot for a while, listened to ALMOST every album except (ha!) we had to stop at "Crooked Teeth" (obv after it was over duh). Shouldnt have played all of live stuff before Plans, the idea was to sort of represent the independent spirit before going to the major label album -- which I'm still TOTALLY conflicted about -- except we played like TEN live tracks when really I just wanted the really passionate break-down after the election, he just totally NAILED the way I was feeling and I will NEVER hear that song the same AGAIN. What a FUCKED UP country.

Anyawy, so we were pretty early in the venue, and it was a LOT bigger than I thought, haha there were actual rafters, like when you say "play to the rafters," I never even GOT that until last night, but it was awesome (and, uh, YES they didp lay to the rafters!!). The openers were some band I never heard of, Places in Your Mind I Could Swim, total post-rock OVERLOAD amirite i'm getting kinda sick of this whole space out jammy stuff, it was totally ripping off Belle Orchestre anyway and at least their French Canadian!!! HAHA, jk I guess that doesnt make a difference really except its kinda cool tho. Oh, but I dled some of the PIYMICS stuff and it actually kinda rocks! It's like Mogwai meets the Decemberists. totally works tho!

OK so Ben came on first and came up to the mic and was like "hey everybody" and I SWEAR everyone yelled "HEY BEN" back! It was so weird just like this total primed up moment that you read about all the time and hear about but NEVER experience. But we did last night, haaha JAmie was yelling louder than ANYONE. They played four songs off Plans off the bat and I was like OH SHIT, total overload! But no, they went RIGHT into "Employment Pages" and I was about to DIE it was so perfect (OMG plus I'm using it as a mix transition for a friend of mine who does NOT know ANY death cab at all! Haha Laura your mix is on the way! Gotta print out the album art and do my folding thang...plus I still have to staple the spine but whatever I can do that during my Mass Media class on Tuesday *snooze!*)

The rest of the set was kind of a blur for me, maybe Jamie could post here nad give his thoughts...I just have to say HIGHLIGHTS: Ben goofing up the line in "Different Names for the Same Thing" and saying "sea DOWN the sun" haha like that makes any sense! That's like my FAVORITE line, I wanted to call my LJ page "The Sea Drowns the Sun" originally but I went with an older lyric (you know what it is! Haha, I post longer about this concert on my LJ page w/ full song list). Also before the third encore Ben took a sip of water and made this sort of googly monster face and the whole crowd was like WTF! and then they just fucking OWNED "Prove My Hypotheses" (plus "405" was the second encore...I looked at Jamie during it and we just kind of nodded, it was just this TOTAL moment of recognition, like that's what friendships are MADE from, I am SO thankful to have a band this wonderful to share with my friends! GAWD that sounds pretty cheesey but no I mean it's totally true...I go into this more on my LJ but I really FELT something this concert, you know, maybe it was because I was finally going with someone else who really seems to GET this band, but it was an inrcedible experience!!!!)

OK haha so that's about enough from me here, again go to my LJ for more info including full set list. GREAT SHOW GREAT EXPERIENCE (haha no we did NOT run out of gas on the way back!) ;)

Did you notice...

That when you play "The District Sleeps Alone Tonight" backwards, starting at about 2:17 (then back to about 2:12 or so...sorry its not an exact science!) you can kind of here the words "Voting Yes"!!!!!! Total DC/PS linkage, I'm almost a hundred precent POSITIVE that its intentional, too! It's kind of garbled, like "voooorrrhgghhhting yyyyrrghhhsssssss" (oh and you have to do it slow, like 40%, I did it on Final Cut...I'm on the school's editing comps right now finishing my TVR project about Wegmans eggs, haha so funny we did the egg fite scene today outside Park what a mess!!!)

So I guess I have a new project, EVERY DEATH CAB SONG SLOW DOWN BACKWARDS. I'll psot about my findings later I guess. Also, Jamie, duh FIGURE OUT YOUR RIGHT FROM YOUR LEFT! Haha dija even tie your shoes yet?? You are such a spazz ;)

PS WE LEAVE IN LIKE TWENTY MINUTES!!!! HOLY SHIT I'M LIKE ABOUT TO FLIP A SHIT!!!

~DCFCFAN#UNO

do ever wish time would pass FASTER!

So.... have you ever been putting on your shoes in the morning and thought HOLY FUCK i'M GOING TO SEE DEATH CAB TOMORROW!!!!!!! I hadn't either... umtil this fucking morning. I seriously couldn't think straight, I was like lacing and then thinking "there was something I was thinking about last night for nine hours before I went to sleep, ...FUCKING DEATH CAB. My mom was sitting in the chair next to me and she couldn't figure out why I kept punching myself in the crotch and shrieking. She just doesn't understand DC LOL. Well i guess Samuel, or you might know him as, frodosphere315told you, but we're going to see Death Cab for Cutie tomorrow. I gotta go now and tell all my friends... even though my right shoe isn't even tied, LOL maybe I'll trip on the lace tomorrow and "accidentally" bump into Ben's crotch... My bad ;)

PS THIRD FROM LEFT WOOPS

Surprise!

So Death Cab just announced new tour dates. Me and JAMIE are SIKED. Holy shit, this show is going to be FUCKING AMAZING. This will be my sixteenth DC show, and Jamie's fourth (hahahaha novice OMG rite?). I really really hope they don't only do stuff off of "Plans" I mean I like that album OK, whatever, Pitchfork can totally eat a dick, right, but SERIOUSLY, they need to play SOMETHING off "Transatlanticism." Or I will seriously not even GO to my sevententh show! HAHA jk, jesus, I am soooo excited about this! ;)
