19...77?

The new DCFC album hasn't found a place on my iPod yet, and I'm not sure it ever will. Even I have a tolerance metre for clever lyrics about heartache; it's just set much higher than the average music fan.

I was shocked, however, to discover that Ben Gibbard is actually a year younger than me. Sometimes he looks positively ancient.



I did put their acoustic set on KEXP into the 'Pod; the songs have a Neil Young-meets-Phil Collins-at-a-bar-and-kills-him vibe when stripped of all that Chris Walla production.
