r/DeathCabforCutie

Don’t judge! Been waiting for the perfect spot and now with my new turntable setup, it’s the perfect place to put it!

Hi everyone, I wanted to share with you the latest addition to my collection. An early birthday gift, from my friends, the "Death Cab for Cutie's breakthrough 2003 double-LP masterpiece" ~ EUROPE-EXCLUSIVE CLEAR VINYL VERSION ~ limited to 2000 copies including the 12-page booklet + download with full album plus original album demos.

After first listening of it, I can say that the digital versions bring absolutely no justice to the beauty of the album.

Does anyone here own a copy? On mine appears "Made in Czech Republic" (bark32lp) can you please confirm if this is the 10th anniversary release? I'm curious if its the remastered version.

Ps: sorry for the long post, but this is facts not fiction for the first time in years😅

Fun little hour & a bit. No songs, and very little info on the new record - Ben told us we have to wait! And also nothing about the next single. But a great conversation between old friends about making records, the music business, and why they love it. They are both very affable and very entertaining storytellers.

hey- does anyone have experience with both pressings? have heard mixed reviews for both and would like to see a comparison. im so torn!!!

I recently did a tier list ranking my favorite albums from death cab now I am doing a numbered list for more clarification

MY OPINOIN ONLY

Was looking through a draw and found these, thought it may be on interest. Some old ticket stubs from their first and second UK tours back in 2002.

Big fan of the band since the We Have the Facts Days. Super excited when they announced some UK dates, and even better that one was not too far away from me.

Jan 2002 - you can tell I was a super fan because I got ticket number 1! :D

Not sure how many they sold, doubt it was that many as it wasn't a huge crowd.

I wrote the setlist on the back of the ticket, and I'm assuming that was the basis of the setlist on setlist.fm today. That site didn't exist back in 2002. There was a DCFC website that covered live shows and their setlists which I submitted the setlist to, but I can't remember what it was called. (I have terrible handwriting too, I know.)

Biggest take away looking back - the show was £3 - what a bargain!!

August 2002 - the guys came back because they were playing Reading Festival I think? Made a note of the setlist but I didn't write it on the ticket. I know the show on setlist.fm is the one I submitted to that old DCFC site, becuase of the instrumental jam thats referenced on there. I added that on my setlist. I don't know if there are any bootlegs from those shows, but FYI, the jam they did was because the keyboard stand collapsed and the guys played a little improv / jam tune whilst the stand got fixed. It wasn't a real song, just something to cover the silence whilst we waited, lol.

edit: Found the old setlist site that I submitted to: https://web.archive.org/web/20030507192341/http://www.dcfc-tour.net/020815.htm

Must have cooled on the band slightly as I got ticket number 8 (what was I thinking)

Talked to Ben at the merch desk and bought a 7" from him, asked if he was excited for Reading. Chickened out on asking him to sign a CD I'd bought with me. Ah well.

Hope this little post was interesting to you all.

Earlier today I had some issues uploading this video, but I figured it out, so please welcome this re-upload of my cover, of "Near/Far" on bass.

Great song, really carried by the bass, and just a fun one to jam with. Perhaps a quirk or two could get reworked, but otherwise I'm truly satisfied to share it with everyone.
