Nerdy little secret #2:
I kinda dig the new Death Cab.
This is a big deal for me, the embittered old mmouse fan who was pissed that they had to play a park concert with death cab. I dont mind a band becoming an 'it' thing, but it kills the concert-going experience. The best thing about death cab being there was that i didnt miss anything the hour I stood in line for a beer. Afterwards every fifteen year old in the world* was telling me how blown away they were by death cab. What a turn off. Still, I remain resolutely open-minded and therefore went home to 'steal' some albums off the internet. For the most part, blah, but I did dig a few songs..
So, fastforward. I download the new album and find myself working on my laptop (yah, punkrock!) and tapping my fingers on my desk a bit to enthusiastically.
Oh well, it's not like I ever denied being a nerd.

*"...every fifteen year old in the world..." that was in the gas station down the street from the park, in line for the bathroom, and talking to me.

I'm glad you like it so much! One more person converted! 
Its one of my favorite albums. Mick Collins is my hero. If you like the Gories you should definitely check out his many, many bands ... Dirtbombs, Blacktop, Screws, Voltaire Brothers.
