death cab for cutie

Postby heavycola on Wed Jul 16, 2008 7:46 am

OK I went to see this band in Camden the other day and I almost fell asleep. I also felt a bit like a fatherly chaperone/paedophile, as the average age was around 19. Although i am only 31, so not quite old bnough to be their father, unless of course I lived in Sunderland.

Could someone tell me:

- Was I indeed listening to emo music?
- Do 19 year old girls put out these days, and if so, am i going to get further by pretending to like this stuff?

-no, that's indie
-yes, but not to you.

and yes, they're terribly bland and boring... the music I mean.

no, thats crappy indie music, like rock, but without anything heavy in the slightest. Emo can be heavy like Bullet For My Valentine, or not, you me at six, typical emo music
- Do 19 year olds put out these days, and if so, am i going to get further by pretending to like this stuff?
yes they put out but it depends, sometimes you dont even have to like their music

Death Cab For Cutie? So far as I know that's a song by the Bonzo Dog Band, an Elvis piss-take if I remember rightly. Anyway, never mind that. I'm back after a few months' absence from this site and the first topic I see on my return to the fora is from good ol' Heavycola. How ya doin', bruv? I took your advice after (way back in April) and got my arse down to Camber Sands for the Bangface weekender. It was out-fucking-standing, mate. Totally twisted.

No wai! I was there too, wish i'd known. I could have burbled good-natured nonsense words in your face before passing out yet again in a twitching heap. Never have I seen so many mashed crusties in one place. The looks on the faces of the bar staff were priceless :D :D Wot was your highlight?
Oh and wb man!

Sam thanks, i'll bear it in mind... is daz always pimping you out like this??

The real question is, if you weren't going with a 19 year-old for the sole purpose of getting in her pants, why were you there?

It was nuts, wasn't it? I'm used to raves where everybody is loved up, hugging random strangers & babbling shite while gurning uncontrollably, whereas Bangface was full of people in the depths of a K-hole, lying on floors and generally not mixing much. Still, it was good to see the Stay Puffed Marshmallow Man there.

Highlight of the weekend was definitely wrecking it up with Mr. Aaron Funk back at our chalet on the Friday night.

DCFC is a fantastic band - Ben Gibbard is one of the better and more insightful songwriters of our day. I wouldn't lump them in with "emo" though - Indie is a far better stylistic description of their music.

We had some very strange conversations with belgian ketheads in the early hours of the morning.
What was Mr Funk like? Brilliant name - as if James Brown's real name was Dilbert van Breakcore. he comes across on that docu as a biiiit ofa knob, but then he wasn;t twatted. I think i caught his set ;) hard to tell really.

DCFC are not a fantastic band. They were bland, boring, pointless, althoguh there were one or two short passages of music that were OK. Unless of course you are 19 and willing to sleep with me, in which case I totally thought they were, like, way awesome.

death cab is hardly considered indie anymore.

if you have music on mtv, you're pop or rap to me.

maybe at one point i would have called them indie, and sure, they have , indie style music, but they are not an indie band.

and i think 19 year old girls at any show/concert are willing to put out if you're willing to buy the liquor

From what I'd heard beforehand I was expecting him to be a knob too, but he was all right... although that's probably 'cos he was trying to get into our mate's knickers. He spent a lot of time looking confused. I don't know if that's 'cos he was having trouble with our accents, or whether it was more to do with the cornucopia of heinous chemicals we were all shovelling up our noses, or both. Probably both. I remember we invented a new genre of music - karaoke-mime-core - and had a bizarre convo about how many midgets could fit into a giant's arsehole. No wonder the poor bugger looked confused. Fair play to him though, he survived a heavy session with the techno taffs, and he ended up getting his end wet.

Ask her if venetian snores. Sorry, that was terrible. Haha nice story anyway. I'm glad to hear the lad survived.

I went to bangface in London last friday and the music, with the exception of an hour or so's sterling D&B, wasn't that great. But we'll be back at camber sands next year. Hard crew reunion and all that :) see you there...

Actually heavycola went to a gig in UK where 19 year old girls can get alcohol by themselves legally. Oh how it is great to live on the other side of the pond. Also, in regards to potentially getting laid by them, at your age you would have to use a little thing I like to call rohypnol... Of course it is highly illegal. Death Cab are a great band, but as is the case with a lot of gigs in England the girls there are actually slightly younger, like 15-16, which is a no go zone.. If you're looking for sex with 19 year olds, you gotta hit the clubs and sometimes they are so inebriated that you don't actually have to slip out the date rape drug.

Death Cab is very boring, I don't care if you're a hot chick they suck ass.

So far as I know that's a song by the Bonzo Dog Band, an Elvis piss-take if I remember rightly.

I'm pretty sure that's where they got their name. Gah so many people I know like them, it's like a virus.

I think that's a totally reasonable statement. They're not awful, disgusting, despicable. They're just not that enthralling.

They do involve contributors to The Postal Service, which no one will ever be able to convince me not to love.

Death Cab for Cuties is on the list of bands to play at Voodoo Fest this fall in New Orleans. I am sure that I will appropriately be away from my skybox during that set and at the bar eyeing ladies 20 years my junior. The ones that don't leave to see them play=may have potential.
