I'm not going to lie, Best Buy is truly the best buy when it comes to newly released "indie" CDs. Target can be good, too. And, c'mon, more of us shop at Target than we'd like to admit anyway.
Get some bath towels, some candles, some socks, and hey, a Death Cab CD.
I sort of want this on vinyl just to appreciate Walla's production to it's fullest potential. I've been told Plans on vinyl is a good way to do such things too, regardless of, you know, the whole mostly shitty songs factor.
One question for all: I am 100% positive Ben mentioned multiple times that Dave Bazan AND John Roderick were going to be on Narrow Stairs. If they are, it's subtle. "Long Division" is pretty Long Winters-y (my mind is convincing me Chris's bg's are actually John), and "The Ice Is Getting Thinner" is pretty Pedro the Lion, but overall, nothing reeeally stands out. Can you guys help me out?
