OK!! I can't help it!! I like this since I first heard it on KCRW, and I STILL LIKE IT!!!!!!!

This would make an interesting two minute song. At 8+ minutes, it's way too long for my taste.

This sound runs in loop like a deep-scratched vinyl. Is it what's called electronica? I think even Moby is better in creativity and arrangements. Would fit as a 30-second jingle for a health care company ad (you know the blood suckers of America).

Downloaded the whole CD over the weekend, quite good. So far this is the best cut. I really never cared for this band, they were ok, but this is better than ok. Kind of dark, which I like!

after reading their pompous interview on recording techniques in EQ Magazine, I"m bringing this down one notch.

I really would care one bit if somebody threw this band into a trash dumpster and shut the lid.

There he is.

Is the singer taking a nap?

Interesting?

i agree. the long intro totally feeds into the creepy factor - building up to the stalking or whatever.

i heard it on the radio in my car a couple weeks ago and my ears perked up. i guess i hadn't paid much attention to DCfC until now. bought the cd last weekend, and i love the whole thing. where have i been?

Ok, I really do like Death Cab, but this song makes me want to do THIS:

I like the brooding nature of the beginning. It feeds into- imho- the creepiness of the stalker in the lyrics. And the subtlety of the "just yet" whispered under his voice at the end of the first verse is brilliant. A solid album.

Yes... "album"....

Goes on forever, amounts to nothing. Flavorless cotton candy.

This instrumental intro reminds me a lot of phish. Anyone else agree/disagree?

My god, I am sick of this. DCFC is horrible and this song is insipid.

improved rating to marginal. Like the deceptive beat at the beginning.

this one hasn't grown on me yet, but I'll give it a token 6 for now.

Death Cab has become one of my favorite bands of the new century!

What is that intro, like twenty minutes?

I think I dozed off......

Is it me, or is this song 80 minutes long?

What Sarah Said is a MUCH better song

Don't much care for it. I loved Trancendentaliszdmflsm but this annoys me.

4.

edit okay, 5

Now, is it not evident that this piece exemplifies mediocrity? I find it unlistenable. Some songs the world can do without.

Monty Python's musical buddy Neil Innes' (Sir Robin's main minstrel's) band.

Strange because Toad the Wet Sprocket got their name from a Monty Python sketch.

Anyway- I really prefer the extended cut to the cropped down version that's being played on the radio. This version builds very nicely and provides a nice musical counterpoint to the sociopathic lyrics.

I don't quite get the appeal of Death Cab, but this song is good. Its kind of like a modern day "Every Breath You Take" except it's not sung by a complete megalomaniac.

Yeah, DCFC makes 'Toad the Wet Sprocket' sound positively sublime.

I think DCFC is taken from an old pulp slasher comic bo... er, 'graphic novel'.

Before I knew the name of the band, I heard their song 'Styrofoam Plates', and I was hooked. They could call themselves 'Talentless Idiots' and I wouldn't care.

xoxox,
