Death Cab For Cutie Blog Their Tour, Reveal That Sometimes a Band Needs a Nap
 |
Our shoe-in candidate for most likable bassist, Death Cab For Cutie’s Nick Harmer, is busy blogging away about the band’s tour. And what we’ve learned thus far about the lifestyle of the indie outfit with a Number One album (Narrow Stairs) is this: they suffer from really bad jet lag; they like to go for (Morrissey-inspired?) walks through English cemeteries; they worry a lot about whether or not they sound any good; they are really into “Battlestar Galactica” and “The Assassination of Jesse James.”
But don’t worry, Death Cabbies (Death-heads? Cab-heads?)! Nick has promised that he’s going to write some more about things like “partying” and “rocking and rolling all night”!

I would like to take a moment to consider the most important aspect of the Puerto Rican primary looming this weekend, and it has nothing to do with the horse race. Nothing to do with whether Hillary adds another reason to stay in this thing; nothing to do with how many elected delegates Barack adds toward that magic number. No — the most interesting thing about the primary happening on Sunday is that IT’S HAPPENING ON SUNDAY!
While there have been a few states holding primaries and caucuses on weekends this electoral season, the United States remains largely a nation of Tuesday voting. (Yeah, I know, it’s also a country that remains stubbornly out of step with the vast majority of the world on its system of measurement and the way it writes dates as well – but let’s save those issues for another time.) Tuesday? Really? That’s the day you want to mandate for a collective effort, something that we want as many Americans as possible to take part in? What about, oh, day jobs and classes? How did this lunacy come about? (more…)
