11/04/2004: "the glove compartment isn't accurately named"

Saw "Death Cab for Cutie" last night (time number four). Pretty Girls Make Graves opened up for them, and I thought they were good enough to warrant some further listening, although I don't believe the general populace shared my sentiment. Ben Gibbard has such a fragile sounding voice; I'm continually impressed that he's able to perform all of the songs without making any vocal misteps. Anyway, good show, although I wish they'd played "title track".

As a sidenote, I must say...quite a crummy merch table at the show. Its bad enough that bands charge 20 or 25 bucks for a t-shirt (or 40+, I'm talking to you Brian Wilson), but its even worse when all the shirts look like something you would be embarrassed to donate to a hobo. Happy Thursday.
