Winter release? I surely hope so! That’s the band’s plan, as well, although Sub Pop isn’t holding them to anything and the guys are surely taking their precious time…
Punk News has the dirt on Jimmy and Ben’s next album. Jimmy (aka Dntel) tells the site: If we don’t make the deadline we set for ourselves, we can extend it. Sub Pop has never given us a deadline, and we’re trying our best to make it in the same environment we made the first one: We have to keep reminding ourselves that we’re doing it for fun and trying to keep things casual,” he said. “And that’s pretty difficult to do, to be honest. I have to keep reminding myself that it doesn’t have to sound like a giant mainstream pop record just because the last one got to so many people. I have to remember how the last one sounded — lo-fi and in my comfort level of production — and I want to stay that way.
Just over the weekend, we shared with you Ben Gibbard’s solo tour dates. Definitely a show not to miss this spring!
MP3: The Postal Service – Nothing Better
Anytime I listen to “Nothing Better” I end up asking myself the same question. What sport uses goalies and divides its time into quarters?
ice hockey?
Nope. Ice hockey has three periods. I think Ben and Jimmy are using their poetic license to create a new sport.
Water polo, but I don’t know if it really fits.
youth soccer? or for those non-americans, youth footie?
tending the net is kinda a basketball term… and that’s a sport that has 4 quarters.
no goalies though…
