    Great pod and I can't wait for the new cd. Death Cab has always been an amazing band and they just continue to constantly evolve their sound.

    I like that Ben is into Superchunk...I'm hoping this album has a little more meat to it than Plans, which was enjoyable but eventually lost it's charm (although Directions was fascinating).

    Uhm, where's the "your finest work to date" button? Seriously. The Fix just kicked it into high gear with this one. Great intro.

    I'm feeling selfish and don't want to see Death Cab become too popular. They seem like a great bunch of guys really enjoying what they are doing.

    Wow. After watching this video I feel like I can now truly appreciate the people of Death Cab in addition to their music. Nice Job Alex and Justin.

    Alex and Justin, you are Gods among artists. What a beautiful collision of sensitive, beautiful cinematography, elegant, considered direction and editing, and gloriously melodic music played by fascinating characters with an uplifting sotry.

    I loves me some DCFC!!!

    Great Piece. It is done really well, represents Seattle as truly what it is... inspiration.

    Finally a band that knows about how to live in the moment. To realize they are making something more than them..

    Also, a great example of the creative process and how to let a group of artists distinguish their roles as part of the big picture...

    Ahhh I love Death Cab for Cutie...I love them so much that I waited outside the Wow Hall, Eugene, OR for FIVE hours before we were even let in...it was worth the wait of course! But any way I just watched the documentary and it was awesome, nice job! However I was just wondering if the clip they took of my friends, I...a short interview is anywhere to be viewed...they said we could see it on here!? Well best of luck on the rest of your tour guys!!!
