Countdown to Distortion

The release day of Distortion is probably going to be the most exciting music event of the last few years. It has already leaked and received mixed reactions, but I am refusing to listen to it until my copy comes in the mail. From the 4 tracks I've already listened to, I like what I hear. Though all of the songs have heavy feedback, they remind me of early stuff like "Torn Green Velvet Eyes," which had an abundance of weird noises.

Whether you're waiting for your copy to come in the mail, whether you've listened to it already, or whether you are yet to order it, check out this video of Ben Gibbard and Daniel Handler (Lemony Snicket) covering "Why I Cry," which also appears on the All Time Quarterback S/T release.



I love accordians. :)
