8/8/2011 3:33:38 PM

I, too, work across from koka booth

8/8/2011 3:35:31 PM

Look at these dismissive assholes

8/8/2011 3:42:26 PM

lol

i think i'm going to tweet this thread. ben gibbard will be the new **** *****

8/8/2011 3:51:50 PM

ben gibbard is like colin meloy except less talented

and that's saying something

8/8/2011 3:54:52 PM

where soul meets bod-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

8/8/2011 3:55:05 PM

what was the first reason to hate them?

8/8/2011 4:19:07 PM

they achieved commercial success

8/8/2011 4:20:33 PM

naming your band after another band's song is always a reason to be wary

even if radiohead pulled it off

8/8/2011 4:22:06 PM

yall will hate anything!

8/8/2011 4:26:28 PM

^WELCOME TO THE INTERNET!

8/8/2011 4:27:06 PM

like IRL is any different

8/8/2011 4:27:37 PM

my number 1 and 2 reasons would be

1 sucky music
2 ben gibbard is a douchebag

i could think of more but those are the first two that come to mind

i have to go get ready now. i am going to babysit for some peeps headed to dcfc show lol. last time i babysat for them it was because they went to see old 97s at cat's cradle. they were sad because the show started super late because there was an opening band. i think koka booth will be more their pace/style.

8/8/2011 4:28:11 PM

I don't like the music but won't deny some of the resentment is having to see that dude with the fine Zoey D.

8/8/2011 4:28:41 PM

yeah other than radiohead i can only think of 1 other band worth a shit that did that(Rolling stones).

zomg I agree with vinylbandit on something related to music.

8/8/2011 4:29:01 PM

i know right. my love for zooey d greatly diminished when i found out she was marrying that a-hole

the same thing with scarlett j and whats his face. at least they are broken up now. still. i question her sanity.

8/8/2011 4:31:53 PM

do bands fall out of favor with hipsters when they reach mediocre commercial success?

disagree. as cheesy as the lyrics can be, that Postal Service record is much better than anything Meloy has ever done.

I like how everyone conveniently forgets Right Said Fred

old 97's are another example of a band that took its name from another bands song and are awesome

8/8/2011 5:04:40 PM

i wouldn't call a folk standard with an unclear origin "another band's song"

death cab for cutie is very clearly the title of one song by one band

8/8/2011 5:07:10 PM

ok, I was unclear of the rules of said game

8/8/2011 5:11:01 PM

global knowledge?

8/8/2011 5:43:13 PM

I used to like Death Cab For Cutie and now I don't anymore

Guess I'm a dismissive asshole

Welp, see ya

8/8/2011 5:48:47 PM

every time I hear the term "koka booth"

I hate my ears a little more

and if I heard some so called "band" named "death cab" out of this booth, I would hate it EVEN more

qft

8/8/2011 6:28:32 PM

I read the title and briefly thought that "Death Cab" was some awesome spin off of "Cash Cab" that I hadn't seen yet.

Then I realized that it meant the shit band.

8/8/2011 7:28:56 PM

hey look

another thread where hipsters shit on something for being popular

p.s. i hate death cab

8/8/2011 7:30:10 PM

I was hating on Death Cab before it was cool to hate on Death Cab:

it was so good I got a tattoo after the show

8/9/2011 1:41:41 AM

hahahahaha wtf

8/9/2011 1:42:59 AM

oh my

8/9/2011 1:56:36 AM

Didn't like them 10 years ago, still don't like them. The singer's voice is too whiny, even for indie music. He's banging zooey deschanel, though.

8/9/2011 2:23:51 AM

Is anyone else going to see Ke$ha play downtown tonight?

Now that's some good toe tappin' music.
