MrMagpie Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I'm starting to get excited to see them. And there is a chance I'll be upgrading my tickets to V.I.P. tix, i.e. meeting the band, soundcheck, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMagpie Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 And I'm pretty sure now I'm getting VIP tix! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawberryfields Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 And I'm pretty sure now I'm getting VIP tix! What, how? :stunned: :D And again, why is my school having a Taylor Swift contest while yours had one for DCFC? :bigcry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMagpie Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 What, how? :stunned: :D And again, why is my school having a Taylor Swift contest while yours had one for DCFC? :bigcry: Well its sort of complicated. To get tickets you had to win them. So me and my friend brought our friends along to fill out ballets. Well one of his friends won VIP tickets. But she doesnt' even care for them, and he is obsessed. I also got my hands on two tickets, so we're going to trade our two tickets with her for the VIPs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaths_friend Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 ^^ the fact that your schools (your universities) have such competitions is amazing enough!! and on the issue of Narrow Stairs' lyrics. ive never really been one to bother with lyrics so the poor quality of the lyrics on the latest album didnt really sway me. i just thought the musicianship and production work was much better on Narrow Stairs. mind you i love Transatlanticism and Plans.

Tnspieler1012 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Death cab...I really liked "The Postal Service" way back when. I was turned off by the name "Death Cab For Cutie" until I realized it was the same guy. The stuff of theirs I've heard has been pretty decent/good.

deaths_friend Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 ^^ i think a very very large number of people were put off by their name. for a long long time i thought they were just another emo band. it was only when i became an alternative music fan that i learnt that they were far from it.

MrMagpie Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 ^Yeah, the name was a put off for me as well. Especially since I always got them confused with Dashboard Confessional. Just in terms of name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corkus Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 The Open Door EP is now available on iTunes, containing 4 leftover tracks from the Narrow Stairs sessions. It includes the video for Grapevine Fires. Physical copy will be available in two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawberryfields Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 ^Thank you! I haven't been following any DCFC news recently, so I didn't even know they were releasing an EP. Yayyyyy :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corkus Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 ^ I didn't know either until I randomly checked my Twitter half-hour ago, and I never check my Twitter updates! :stunned: Here are the tracks (which I just finished downloading off iTunes): 1. Little Bribes 2. A Diamond and a Tether 3. My Mirror Speaks 4. I Was Once a Loyal Lover 5. Talking Bird (Demo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strawberryfields Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 The new songs are awesome, but I especially like the Grapevine Fires music video....

Corkus Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Yeah, super-sad video. They've had it out for a few weeks but was never posted here. Anyways, I like all the songs on the EP except the very first one, which they were right to leave off the album. I really like "I Was Once a Loyal Lover".

And how was meeting the guys? Oh it was a blast. Just a few of us had VIP, so it was nice. Not too crowded or hectic. I'll be doing a full blog post later...but just in short.... ....so got there, waited around for a bit before we went into the sound check. They played 3 or 4 songs. After that we all lined up and basically had chance for a quick hello and a picture. Shook hands with them. Thanked them for coming type of thing. So pretty cool. The show was great too. Pretty heavy on Narrow Stairs and Plans stuff. A few new songs off the EP thrown in there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
