Happy Birthday to Graham Nash!

“Military madness
Was killing the country
Solitary sadness
Creeps over me”

Be so cruel

My afternoon's beats here in the Studio of Love™ provided by Styrofoam's 2004 album "Nothing's Lost".

I discovered Styrofoam because of "Couches In Alleys" due to Ben Gibbard supplying vocals.

And #JackKerouac recounted the journey west in his novel #BigSur. #JayFarrar and #BenGibbard’s interpretation is simply lovely. https://music.apple.com/us/album/california-zephyr/334816915?i=334816919

Snagged seats for a #BucketList concert.

They don't tour often, and I missed the last one. And not to be morbid, but if they only tour on 10 year anniversary years, there are only so many decades left at this point…

Going to be an amazing night. Bonus points that I'll get to see some rarely seen family before and after.

The prompt is #ZigZag
Death Cab for Cutie, “Kintsugi” 2015

Man, am I having trouble with this end of the alphabet. (Just when I thought I'd be able to start at the beginning again, I see our host and facilitator @MarkIngs has plagued us with one hashtag starting at Z for 2024. The nerve!)

So I went with the visual again, picking this one for its zigzag cover art. I’m not deeply knowledgeable about #DeathCabForCutie
but I regard it as #BenGibbard’s project at this point. Gibbard continues to mine the #IndieRock vein, somehow managing to sound fresh and cut through the glut of bells, whistles, and gizmos (with no slight meant to
his #glitch #electronic project, #ThePostalService, itself a lean affair) available to our ears, seasoning earnest songs and basic instrumentation with unexpected tempos and bits of ear candy. My favorite track on this one is probably “You’ve Haunted Me All My Life” because it’s, well…haunting.

I've become what I always hated
When I was with you then
We looked like giants in the back of my gray sub-compact

Springsteen and “Born to Run”, Amy Ray and “Romeo and Juliet”, tonight I saw Death Cab play “We Looked Like Giants”. Makes me wish I’d had the foresight to see the Dire Straits do “The Man’s Too Strong”. These are the #songs that stay with me, and I am lucky to have seen them.

Just got a new bundle courtesy of #VinylMePlease!

First up, #Transatlanticism by #DeathCabForCutie. I’m a fan of #BenGibbard’s work with #ThePostalService, I was never as deep into Death Cab. However, listening to this a couple times, it does really resonate. The title track, The New Year, & Tiny Vessels are early stand outs.

In terms of the #vinyl itself, #VMP have done another great job. Detailed, dynamic with near silent blacks.

#BenGibbard will be touring as #ThePostalService and #DeathCabforCutie to play their albums Give Up and Transatlanticism in their entirety and I'm in the queue to purchase tickets 😍
