Death Cab FOr Cutie: C or D?

Tix resale only $150 + fees

We Have the Cash But We’re Voting “Nah”

I think the show is sold out here. $150 (these days) seems about right for resale in that situation. I mean, Gaslight Anthem is sold out here, too, and resale prices for that are about the same. For sure I'm not paying that, I have an "in," but Death Cab is a reasonably popular band for people of a certain age (probably because they're pretty MOR indie, though as I wrote on this thread or some other I'm surprised how many single songs of theirs I enjoy when they come on).

Remember when landing a spot on the soundtrack to "The O.C." was considered a big deal?

Still not really my thing, but they were good last night, really slick, bunch of good songs. I don't think I'd seen them in 20 years (!), but I don't remember Gibbard going full-frontman like he does now. Lots of dancing and moving around and stuff like that.

i haven't listened to the whole new album but the singles were the best they've sounded in years, i thought

ok, a month later i'm back to say this album is actually really good. their best since ... Narrow Stairs, maybe? (i have to admit, i've barely heard Kintsugi and Thank You For Today)

they were my favorite band '99-'03ish and i didn't think i would ever even enjoy listening to anything new by them ever again. but i am enjoying this one.

Yeah, it's really good. I was surprised by how much I really liked it.

yeah I like this album, I haven't liked anything by them in some time (probably Narrow Stairs). We won tickets to go see them last week and it was really enjoyable as well; I haven't seen them since Transatlaticism or Photo Book era, and most of the shows I saw them play were at tiny clubs 20+ years ago.
