Artist: Ben Gibbard

A veces sí puede ser un poco frustrante saber de la cantidad de buenos conciertos que hay en otras partes del mundo. Como sea, siempre es posible encontrar videos o versiones grabadas de casi cualquier cosa que queramos experimentar, aunque sea desde nuestra casa u oficina. En esta ocasión, SPIN nos regala un vistazo al show que Death Cab for Cutie (junto con Calexico, Amos Lee, Kid Rock, The Fray, y Iron and Wine) dio en el Brooklyn Museum, llamado Live from the Artists Den. Fue una sesión muy íntima, con sólo unos cuantos invitados, y en [...]

Gibbard played guitar behind Goldthwait as he did his best impression of Bono singing "YMCA". It is quite random, but the picture is priceless. New music released today by Denver pop band Tennis . Their new album, Young & Old , will be released on Valentine's [...]

Ever listen to an artist's music and think, "What the hell are they listening to?" We do too. More than ever, artists are being exposed to a vast spectrum of genres, styles, and sounds, and whether they like it or not, that exposure ends up being reflected in the music. When you listen to OnCue , you can hear that this isn't a kid that grew up listening to nothing but Nas. Whether it's hidden in the sample or out on display when he belts out a chorus, he's got an interesting take on hip-hop, and it had us [...]

While it has been nearly fourteen years since front man Ben Gibbard created Death Cab for Cutie in 1998, I, for one, am glad the group hasn't strayed from their delightful indie pop sound. It isn't hard to love "Underneath the Sycamore" on the first listen; a song coming from from DCFC's seventh studio album, Codes and Keys . Gibbard's voice and lyrics continue to be sweet without becoming saccharine, while the track's melody may or may not be dangerously catchy enough to take up a week-long residency in your head. While I cringed when the [...]

Ben Gibbard no es solamente un gran músico y compositor. Aparentemente, también es un concienzudo deportista. El líder de Death Cab for Cutie y The Postal Service es conocido por tener varios proyectos en simultáneo. Además de estas dos bandas, tuvo más de una propuesta solista y otras con su ahora ex-esposa Zooey Deschanel . Aparentemente, otra de sus actividades favoritas es una que en el mundo de la música no se suele ver [...]

The Death Cab For Cutie mastermind was profiled by Runner's Magazine.

Two things I learned in the past 10 minutes: (1) Runner's World , a magazine for people who like to run, is a thing that exists, and (2) Ben Gibbard likes to run. The magazine recently profiled the Death Cab For Cutie frontman, who, come to think of it, has been looking way less doughy and more gristly lately. In the interview, Gibbard says convincing stuff about why he likes to run. The accompanying video, sadly, has no footage of Gibbard actually running, which could've been hilarious. The footage of him stretching in a recording studio, however, is pretty [...]

Two decades from now, how do you think 2011 will be remembered? As the year we lost Amy Winehouse? How about the year three of music's most iconic outfits - The White Stripes, R.E.M., and LCD Soundsystem - all decided to call it quits? Maybe Lana Del Rey will prove a sustainable force and then we can all tell our children about the great collagen debate of 2011. Or try to explain to them how two rock and roll hall of famers came together to create the worst piece of music imaginable. Yeah, 2011 was a fucking weird year. [...]

If you're battling the crowds today and of a mind to give the gift of music, you're probably already aware that it's Back to Black Friday, brought to you by the folks behind spring's annual Record Store Day . (And if you're like us, you're patronizing your local, independent stores.) There are a slew of special releases out in conjunction with Back to Black Friday, many of them vinyl odds 'n sods geared to superfans and obsessives, but others — like the 7-inch singles sets from the Beatles, Bob Dylan, the Doors and [...]

Midway through November and we're all immediately acting as if Christmas were to crop up on November 25th this time around. End of year lists are already emerging from the perpetual blog snowfall (we're holding out for December), ad breaks are perpetuated by the glowing hum of seasonal garb and gunk, and now She & Him have outed an unashamedly festive number by the name of Christmas Day. Lifted from A Very She & Him Christmas (out November 28th), it features Zooey Deschanel cooing of never outgrowing "the thrill of Christmas day", of how "the Christmas spirit grows [...]
