Death Cab for Cutie continued their ascension into the post-mainstream by opening for the ultimate band of all–the Seattle Mariners, a major league baseball team from the Seattle Area. This seems like it is just the next step in their ascension towards playing the Super Bowl with Vampire Weekend in 2k14 (after the Kings of Leon in 2k13). Do u know if Cool Dads are into baseball? Feel like that might be an ‘uncool’ sport for the next 10 years, but might gain retro/vintage stock in 2k19.
Is opening for a baseball team on opening day of the baseball season sorta like opening for God / George W. Bush / America?
Do yall think they ‘killed it’? Do u think they should have played one of their original songs to ’stay true to the indie vibe’?
In this interview with a regional talking head, Ben Gibbard claims that “his two favourite things in life are music and baseball.” Do yall think Zooey Deschanel got all sad when she heard that quote?
Wonder if the acoustics in a baseball stadium help the indie sound. Kinda feel like it was probably similar to Animal Collective’s performance art at the Guggenheim.
Need to get custom jerseys of my fave indie alternative celebrities.
Baseball seems like a pretty alt place to chill. Music, fashion, art, graphic design, public space, and architecture come 2gether for a really chill ass authentic experience.
Wonder if Lady Gaga will get some conceptual merch at a baseball game.
R u a Deathcab fan?
Is Death Cab for Cutie bigger than Nirvana in the Seattle area?
Will Ben Gibbard always be ur bro?
Do u think DCFC generated tons of regional sales from fat old dads who were watching baseball on their regional Fox Sports provider?
Will Animal Collective open for the Baltimore Orioles in 2k11?
Adapted Version of ‘Take Me Out to the Ball Game’ entitled ‘Take Me Out to the Indie Alt Blogosphere’:
Take me out to the relevant alt concert at which a buzzband is playing,
Take me out with the crowd;
Buy me some free PBR and free vodka + mixer who paid 2 ’sponsor the event’,
I don’t care if I never get back.
Let me root, root, root for the buzzband,
If they don’t ‘go viral’ and ‘get above an 8.0 from pitchfork’, it’s a shame.
For it’s one, two, three mp3s, you’re relevant,
At the old alternative indie memesphere game.
