I am not sure what everyone else is listening to, but my personal opinion is that Ben Gibbard's lyrics are amazing. There is plenty of talk about girls, but his phrasing and language are atypical. That's what I find special about them. 55261@blogcritics.org Fri, 2 Apr 2004 00:09:50 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/04/01/143000.php#comment-55192 I would actually be more into the Ben Kweller performance if I could catch one of these shows. "In Other Words" is one incredible song (not to mention the majority of the album of <i>Sha Sha</i>). Deathcab, I can't say much for since I've never really perused their catalogue (I know that's blasphemy since they seem to be the current kings of indie rock). They're playing 2 shows in May at the Fillmore in SF, but too bad they're on school nights. 55192@blogcritics.org Thu, 1 Apr 2004 20:21:49 EST
