What the hell is Death Cab for Cutie |
|
I was out sick the past two days and each morning I'd get up long enough to move to my sofa and crash for a bit. Basically they ripped off Peter Gabrial's Sledgehammer video for their video. Is that singer related to Gabriel? They have the same eyes!

1. They are a popular indie rock band. |
|
I think it's intentional homage. No relation to peter gabriel.

I think their name comes from a line in a Burroughs book.

3. No, it comes from a song in the Beatles' "Magical Mystery Tour" movie. |
|
It was written sung by Neil Innes (of Rutles and Bonzo Dog Band fame), and it was indeed called "Death Cab for Cutie."

4. Is this the first time you've heard them? |
|
I actually like their spin-off project The Postal Service much better. You should check it out. ;-)
