(31) Days of Good 2012 has officially begun. Enjoy the ride. After fifteen years making music with Death Cab For Cutie , 2012 saw the release of lead singer Ben Gibbard's debut solo album (as Benjamin Gibbard) — Former Lives . I enjoyed this album quite a bit, it was a good change of pace from Gibbard's more familiar Death Cab material. One track in particular really stands [...]

The wave band around masterminds Thomas Crystal and Benjamin Louisiana prefers the sunny side

Over the 25 or so tunes he played, Gibbard traveled there and back again in a career-spanning set that had a little something for everybody. Gibbard looked and felt even more [...]
