I'm sure DCFC frontman Ben Gibbard runs home crying to his wife Zooey Deschanel every night because you guys don't like him.
Read the lyrics to "What Sara Said" once and tell me this guy isn't talented.

Bumped it one to an 8. Right on about pop perfection. Guys can write a hook.

Was it only okay when Yes did so? What about Supertramp or Zeppelin, for that matter? I don't think this guy sounds like a girl at all, anyhow. |

Man, this song holds up. Didn't take at first, but this is another band that's really grown on me.

That maybe they have their own distinctive tastes? Or maybe that they apperciate the depth and warmth of most NY songs where Death Cab tends to have a more modern and emoish sound. Neil writes songs that rock, songs that cut to the heart, and songs that generally require a bit more openness of mind and introspection. He's also written a few that sucked. I'm not a huge Death Cab fan, but I don't mind hearing them from time to time (but I do wish for more Postal Service). I also can see why this would not be a good band to open for NY. If Neil Young fans don't like Death Cab, all it says is that they don't like Death Cab. |

Renee Fleming plays Soul Meets Body (by Death Cab For Cutie), theme included in their recent Albúm:
Dark Hope (2010)...beautiful.
What i think: It is very likely that we get in the mood to review the original artists, when we heard the "covers" by Renee, this only proves that it is not so easy to build great songs in the field of light music-pop-soul. But, I find it interesting that Renee foray in the field of light music-pop-soul, which shows the other side of this amazing singer, classical, opera, here appears bereft of any career aspirations, with humility, open mind, unprejudiced, a sense liberating, perhaps to prove that life is indeed very short, and you only live once. And if this is important for any human being, is essential for an artist. Another aspect that caught my attention immediately was the choice of artists and songs honored for this album of covers, which, curiously enough, largely coincide with my musical preferences. I would also like to confess that Renne (and others artists) contributed decisively to me to learn, to enjoy, the Opera. Perhaps the characteristics of her voice, sings in a way friendly, human, natural, until tender, as an "extension" of the sounds of nature itself. In addition to Renne, only Maria Callas and Pavaroti i had identical feelings. In the end, I think these artists are, in many areas, with its extraordinary power of persuasion and inspiration, captivating all of us to enjoy the various musical styles.

I always feel a bit guilty tapping my feet and grooving to DCFC toons as the lyrics are so melancholy and death-obsessed - "If the silence takes you then I hope it takes me too". Poppy tunes, gothic lyrics. Toe-tapping thanatos, perhaps. Anyway, 9 from the Nottingham jury.
