Record a day. Day 30: Death Cab for Cutie 'The Photo Album'

I figured that since I started with a photo of records to start this that I could end it with the photo album... again, I first heard of these guys through Adam Powell. Obviously they got big (I wasnt on the wagon until they were big). I like this record... mostly for track 8, Styrofoam plates... a song written about Ben Gibbords fathers funeral... great lines through out the whole record but I love the line 'a bastard in life, thus a bastard in death'... I wish I could have a 'screw you' attitude like that but im too forgiving of a person. The Bjork cover at the end is rad. if you can, pick this record up before Plans.
