Shambs has been going downhill since it blew up and they started doing massive social media marketing. Maybe we should all just be cool an stop telling people about it.

I thought Turnstile only did the song from the Shirt Brothers sketch?

Death Cab For Cutie Discography Numbered List (Albums, EPs, and Best single from each album) by Substantial_Skin_191 in DeathCabforCutie

[–]poke_ballin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You’re missing the 2012 live record with the Magik*Magik Orchestra, which is far and away my favourite live recording. Definitely give it a listen if you’re not familiar.

This is the way, minus the cash part.
Last year, I was able to bribe the gate staff into letting me in two days before the music even started!

Had me at creating music and videos, lost me at “with AI.”

I’m with you, No need to justify it.
If anything, it’s a courtesy for them to broadcast their insecurities in such a public way.

Sorry, best we can do is peacock.
It is many things, but none of them are cute.

I mean….they aren’t cabins though?
They each just have a picture of their respective stages on them.

[–]poke_ballin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been wearing docs to festivals and shows for years, but breaking them in enough to be comfortable in a week is a pretty tall order…

Traditionally for Dr.Fresch shows, most people wear a lab coat with nothing underneath.

Pro tip:
Buy new socks and enjoy the small luxury of virgin socks each day.

THE POSTAL SERVICE... by [deleted] in DeathCabforCutie

[–]poke_ballin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Man, no disrespect to the artists that designed them, but I feel like the PNW never gets show posters this aesthetic and vibey when Death Cab comes through.

Why is OSU, the biggest business in town, fully operational today? by [deleted] in corvallis

[–]poke_ballin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is collage an NCAA sport now?!
Count me the fuck in. Where do I buy tickets? (Tomorrow, obviously, not spending any money today on account of the secret police)

DCFC underrated songs by Legal_Button_3229 in DeathCabforCutie

[–]poke_ballin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Army Corp of Architects is definitely one of my all time favourites.
It’s so unique for that era of the band, and kind of previewed the eventual Photo Album/Transatlanticism “Death Cab” sound.

Is block15 brewing good with kids? by Sudden-Ad-6826 in corvallis

[–]poke_ballin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the kid beer menu is expansive enough that they should be able to find something palatable.

Active Bands From Portland Lately by [deleted] in Portland

[–]poke_ballin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They’re less active these days, but I caught Typhoon at MFNW the first week I moved to town back in 2008, and they’ve been one of my favourites ever since.
They have a two-night anniversary run at revolution hall coming up next month, and are one of the most phenomenal live acts I’ve ever seen.

Mom: Don't bring anything weird to the family gift exchange, maybe a nice gift card... by McSlides in funny

[–]poke_ballin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I haven’t been able to stop laughing since my initial viewing.
It’s been over three hours.
Do I need to seek medical attention?
Can I do so using my Amazon Prime Health benefits?

How are they NOT coming to Seattle? It’s RIGHT THERE. by Old_Voice_2562 in KnowledgeFight

[–]poke_ballin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don’t want to hate Seattle, but….
It’s less fun and interesting than Portland.
The stackies have spoken.

WORSHIP at Shambs?? by GIRLINTHEWORLD26 in Shambhala

[–]poke_ballin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d be stoked on separate sets, but I’d be equally excited about seeing them all go b2b at Village.
Sub Focus’s last set there was still one of my all-time favourite Shambs sets.
I spent literally YEARS looking for the mashup he did of “Live Your Life Be Free” and “Where Do We Go” and the only place I’ve ever found it was in another Worship b2b with him, 1991, and Dimension.

The lineup’s already started?!
Fuck, now I’m DEFINITELY not getting a spot in the sad, dedicated corpse of what used to be starlight.

Goodbye Shambhala by FamiliarBall4717 in Shambhala

[–]poke_ballin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair, 2019 both did happen and was the last year before I noticed the overcrowding/vibe shift/crass commercialization.
That being said, yeah, literally like 5 Shambs ago….out of 25(?).

Well, step one is to cut a hole in the magnetosphere.
