By: Flubly. on 22 Mar 08, 00:12:55
I don't know why people thumbed this down, since its not my opinion but what the actual process they used to write the songs and record them. Gibbard has said himself, look in some interviews. I don't know why you people have to view Tamborello as an arbitrary DJ and Gibbard as the all consuming genius in order to be happy. Give the guy the credit he factually deserves.

No, Jimmy did not ...
By: Flubly. on 22 Mar 08, 00:10:50
No, Jimmy did not do the lyrics and melody lines nor did he only do the beats and mix. By musical foundation I mean, the structure on which it was made possible for Gibbard to write those melodies and lyrics. None of the songs would exist at all in any form if it was just Gibbard. After all that's what Ben Gibbard said would start the next postal service album: Jimmy sending him new stuff.

No hate to DeathCab or anything, but they shouldnt try to cover Nirvana. It's like covering a Beatles song, you're 99.99% guaranteed to fail. (Maybe because the originals are hard to grasp fully... i dont know why the covers don't work, they just don't.)

Ok. This was my third and last Gibbard visit, and I'll end with the comment that this cover was unnecessary.

By: irieside. on 02 Nov 08, 10:03:49
So easy to pick out the real musicians who have commented on this... If you have ever picked up a guitar and wanted to play a cover of someone else's song you would realize that the purpose is not to "out-do" the actual creator, but to put your own spin on it. Gibbard's version is just that, his own take, and it sounds just fine to me.

By: clarkboy85. on 25 Sep 08, 15:10:08
I was at this show. Ben was excellent. This was also the first time I ever saw Johnathan Rice live. He was great. For some reason, however, he got much more respect than Dave Bazan. Idiots talked all through Bazan's set, at times to the degree that you could no longer hear the music. LESSON LEARNED: don't go to shows of well-known acoustic artists at Metro. The yuppie fans are meat-heads who only know good music from outlets such as the OC or Gossip Girl. They respect nothing else.

By: TrustNo121000. on 10 Nov 07, 08:05:56
I LOVE IT! It's really cool to hear this song with Ben Gibbard's voice. Very odd too though, because his voice is very calming and John Darnielle's seems to be a bit more grating which I really like. It's a great cover all the same. I'm happy that he did it.

By: echele112. on 03 Jul 08, 13:50:45
While I can't quite tell what he's playing, up until the new Death Cab album Ben has said that he had a collection of guitars and the most expensive was probably around $200 or so. It's probably not tough to find a guitar like his for cheap, since the one he's playing probably isn't expensive at all.

The song is from the Home series. Home Volume V. They usually choose different people/bands to make a few songs together based on the idea of home. Ben Gibbard and Andrew Kenny were on Home Volume V. It's a pretty awesome album. Great song.

So they should be thankful that they live somewhere that allows them to believe what they want. But what a stupid thing to say: This is America........... I feel stupid.

You are entitled to your religious freedom. If you want to believe in God, more power to you. This is America, and if someone wants to be an atheist, that is just as beautiful as anything else. One should be allowed to talk about their religion without being ridiculed.
