  1. THE POSTAL SERVICE
    Give Up
    2014 U.S. reissue

    I always liked Death Cab For Cutie just fine.
    They’ve made some good records, and I’ve always liked Ben Gibbard’s approach to songwriting.

    However, I will always love this Postal Service record far more than any Death Cab effort.

    I’ve always found this album hauntingly beautiful in some weird way. And music aside, by the time this album arrived in 2003, I was in such a place in my life that it struck a very personal chord for me. I’ve never been able to fully explain it.

    It’s just so good.

    An album that helped see me through a very difficult time in 2003, and I still love it today.

    I shouldn’t look back on that year with any kind of reverence whatsoever. It was truly terrible.
    Give Up is the reason I can. And with comfort.

  2. 🖸 Favorite Nala Songs 🖸

    I love The Postal Service's cover of John Lennon's "Grow Old With Me".

  3. @thevfxfeed Oh nice, "Such Great Heights" by #ThePostalService... haven't heard that tune for a while.

  4. When life goes heavy, you can go to the lighter side of alternative with songs from The Postal Service, Men At Work, Hozier and Matilda Mann. You can binge the entire playlist in less than an hour. Do you have a request for future episodes? Leave me a comment!

  5. Tomorrow, I head to #Pittsburgh to check two #BucketList bands off the list. I'll be seeing #ThePostalService and #DeathCabForCutie.

    Better yet, I'll be getting to share it with Oldest Spawn.

    I have to get to the city without a panic attack. If I can do that, all should be well.

    I'll also be getting my first #PrimantiBros sandwich, which my sister says is a must-have.

  6. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. #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 😍

  10. CW: 20 Years of Give Up

    It came to my attention that it will be 20 years since Give Up by the Postal Service came out next year. 20 years! I'm old!

    But it also reminded me of this video Sub Pop Records put out for the 10th-anniversary edition of the album, well, 10 years ago. It's hilarious!
