Death Cab For Cutie: Little Bribes

The new Death Cab for Cutie video doubles as a feel-good, triumph-of-the-little-guy tale. Director Ross Ching was simply a longtime fan of the band when he made the clip for "Little Bribes", a track off Death Cab's recent Open Door EP.

He uploaded the time-lapse-crazed clip to the web, and next thing you know, his beloved band declared his video totally official. Plus: A press release tells us Ching has been hired by DCFC label Atlantic to film another project.

Best of all: Unlike most fan-helmed videos, this one does not suck:

The Living Years

This weekend my cousin Michael is coming into town from Missouri.
I haven't seen him since last summer. There is something about
spending time with family I don't see very often, that takes me
back to my childhood. And also consumes me with thoughts about
my own mortality. Michael's parents have passed on. My Father has
passed on. It's always weird for me to think we are all gonna die
someday. It kind of sucks, having to get old and watch the ones you
love die. Don't get me wrong I enjoy life. But hate the idea of
seeing loved one after loved one pass on. As much as I love my life
now. I often think about the past and miss those days. I miss the
many relationships I took for granted and are now gone. So I guess
I just need to keep on living for today and make the most out of
todays present relationships.

The Wonder Years

I want to share one of my favorite childhood T.V. shows. In fact it's probably still one of my favorites. As a child I loved The Wonder Years. Even though the show was based in a different time period. I still found myself relating to it week after week. The show was great at touching on what every kid went through growing up. So I picked an episode that is a well balance of all that it is to be a kid.

No Line On The Horizon- U2

I'm one among many that always anticipate each new U2 album. The layoff between albums is always so tiring. So once the actual release date arrives. It's greeted with great relief on my part. One thing I have grown to like about the band is that with each new album they usually mix things up. And with each new album comes a different style and a different sound. Well this time around unlike the last two albums "All That You Can't Leave Behind" and "How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb" which were U2 by the numbers. Good but basic affairs which didn't take U2's sound to any new heights. This time around they seemed to come up with a bit of a retread again. With this new one
sounding like a bit of "Actung Baby" and "Pop." No new song structures or anything really diverse with different sounds. Musically we've already heard all this before. Which is fine considering they have probably already headed into the twilight of their career.
