A song and a plot

Narrow Stairs


Death Cab For Cutie - I will Possess Your Heart (stream)

It's been kicking around for a couple weeks, but you know, this is definitely the kind of song that grows on you, as it in fact grows throughout it's 8 plus minute track length. There are times when you're hoping that a band that you like is going to do exactly the same thing, and times when you're hoping that a new album is going to sound a little different. Personally, I find this track a refreshing mix of some new approach and some warm, comfortable familiar feelings. I'm looking forward to Narrow Stairs in May.

And so while we're on the subject, you should also check out "Ben Gibbard's" "new" "side project", "Just Jazzin" and let it blow your mind.

And then let this blow your mind. All you snarky robots assume it's a joke. You think Ben Gibbard's crazy enough to try fool you in April --but Robots know, and we encourage you to spread and perpetuate this story--if we all talk about how awesome Just Jazzin is, maybe, just maybe, we can get Zach Braff to use it in his next movie!

I can't tell if this is an April Fools joke or not. I try to give everything a fair go. I saw Death Cab and thought, "heh, that emo group". I've never listened to them, but if MFR likes them, maybe they're OK. Then I saw .ram, and went "eeew, gross!" But your post specifically says it's not a joke. My ambiguity algorithm needs an upgrade.

What the hell am I suppose to do with a .ram file? Can they even be used on Mac's?

chillax. I'm not thrilled about steams either, but when it's a band we've been with for a long time, and/or like in this case, we had the April Fool's thing going on, which I thought was cool, I thought I'd put up what I had. It's not ideal, but it's not like you're paying for this, we do this purely out of the goodness of our mechanical hearts
