I still think the name Death Cab for Cutie is a pretty dumb name, but I suppose the name gets people's attention. I'm just not sure how serious people will take them with a name like 'death cab'.
I saw the band at the 7th Street Entry in 2001, I believe this was the first time I've been to 7th Street, although, once again, I could be wrong (I have poor memory).
The notes I wrote about this date had nothing to do with the band, simply that I think the name is silly. It was overall a bad week for me: on this date, the thermostat in my house broke. I had to drive to Fleet Farm to pick up a new one for $50.
Slept at 3am the night before the show, so I was dead tired at this rather late show. The Jealous Sound, from Los Angeles, opened up for this show.
I don't have the setlist for Death Cab for Cutie, but according to setlist.fm at a show only days after my show, they played songs from their only two albums (Something About Airplanes and We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes), but showcased some new songs for their then-forthcoming The Photo Album, which was being released by Barsuk Records that October. The other odd thing is that they played a Bjork cover song "All Is Full of Love", which is only listed as "bjork" on on this setlist from the same tour.
After the show, I had discovered that I had a $30 parking ticket! This cheap $7 show suddenly turned out to cost $37. It was all my fault, I had no idea I was parked in a "No Stopping Zone" (I didn't see any signs)! It was flagged for towing, but thank goodness, I showed up just before the stupid towing company showed up. As I was driving away, I noticed the tow company flashing its light as it was picking up a car nearby! Felt bad for that other car owner. Since then, I've learned my lesson and have never parked in that area again.
As for recent Death Cab for Cutie news, Barsuk Records reissued Transatlanticism as a "10th Anniversary" this past October 29th. It was a good time to make that album available again on vinyl after years of it being out of print. Both the vinyl and digital edition will include all the original demos of the songs.
For fans who already own Transatlanticism and don't feel the need re-buy the 10th Anniversary edition, the good news is that Barsuk also made the demos as a special stand-alone release, called, what else?, Transatlanticism Demos.
