Sweet Song.

I don't know if I'm just pregnant and emotional, or what, but I am so in love with this little song.

I bought the newest Death Cab for Cutie album after going to an expensive-yet-less-than-acoustically-pleasing concert of theirs last month, and my opinion of the band's music has been restored, nay, risen to a new level. To recap my true feelings of their last four albums, since you care and all, it would be:

transatlanticism: like very much
plans: love
narrow stairs: meh
codes and keys: adore

The song is "Stay Young, Go Dancing", and the video looks like a stylish life insurance video, as a DJ I was listening to today described it. I'm pretty excited that they're playing this one on the radio. I think it has the staying power of "I Will Follow You Into the Dark" without the hipster creepiness.

But lest you worry, let me assure you that Ben Gibbard's hipsterness has reached a new level, as you'll notice in the video (which you'll totally watch, I know) as he's now rocking an updated Kurt Cobain look. Kinda carrying the torch since KC can't...or something. You know Kurt would probably have his own brand of hipster if he were still with us today.

But I digress. Here you go:

How on earth did I miss this one? I'm glad you posted it so that is no longer the case.

I can always count on you.
