Favorite Song of the Week

I can't stop listening to "I Will Possess Your Heart" by Death Cab For Cutie.

Seriously. Ben Gibbard just knows how to do it. When so many songs these days are upbeat and psychedelic and crazy cool, "I Will Possess Your Heart" catches your attention because it's exactly the opposite. The album version has a 4 1/2 minute intro before Gibbard starts singing, and then when he starts, it just sounds: important. a little different, but kinda reminded me of when kings of leon released "Knocked Up". Rock ballads really do rock. Even without the intro, the radio edit still captures your attention.



It was a perfectly set song while soaring down the 101 right before reaching the Golden Gate Bridge on Wednesday after a long day at work, listening to MGMT radio all day long. ahh.
