That Death Cab review made me sad. Ben Gibbard sounds... really sad. I mean, I guess we knew that already from the songs, but there's just this frank resignation in his press these days, particularly his Paste cover story.

He's just a guy who got almost everything he ever wanted and realized he'll still never have everything he ever wanted-- most likely nobody will. A smart, literate, slightly melancholy but generally decent, well-meaning, and careful guy. Boo hoo, right? Well, yeah.
The Explorers Club review was a bummer, too, only cause I really like a few of those songs but just can't stop hearing them all together as really good Beach Boys covers but with less of the original feeling, less spark. It's hard to put my finger on.
Things that make me have facial expressions lately:
