DEATH CAB FOR MAINSTREAM
The little indie darling that could, with the conspicuously unmarketable name, just went number one.
Goodbye street cred! Who needs ya.
Yes, Death Cab For Cutie has the number one album in America, just beating out... Frank Sinatra!
The college radio dues-payers moved 144,000 units of Narrow Stairs in the first week after its release. The first video is "I Will Possess Your Heart." Oh you will, will you?
Death Cab celebrates defeating the following also-rans in this week's top ten:
2. Frank Sinatra "Nothing But The Best"
3. Jason Mraz "We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things"
4. Duffy "Rockferry"
5. Leona Lewis "Spirit"
6. Mariah Carey "E=MC2"
7. Neil Diamond "Home Before Dark"
8. Madonna "Hard Candy"
9. Toby Keith "35 Biggest Hits"
10. Keith Sweat "Just Me"
Not bad for Death Cab in this post-free-download age. No longer will they suffer the indignities of touring via taxi.

Meager VerseI love vote swapping,
Its like waking up to discover I'm rich.
I just jumped three hundred places
Vote for vote and that's not sleep.
Funny thing this synaptic insight
Seams an endless loop recorder
That is random unlike Vote Now
Its the way of this Internet site
Substantial Verse
My slip pant preternatural investigation
Assigns unobtrusive clicks with value
As I measure the craftsman’s excellence
Through a diligent desire of cyclical expression.

I think I need a bigger space.

Nice, I would love to have Carolina Commons produced and out the door. I would like to give all of them a run for the money. Alas, I need Pro help to do it and lying on a counch in a shrink's office is not going to get 'er done.
