this happens everytime. you like a small band. you like their accessibility. and then they suddenly start getting popular.
and instead of the el rey, they play the wiltern. and you're surrounded by people who don't know their early songs, only the hit single.
and it's good for the band. i mean, they need to eat. but at the same time, they don't have to stand near these pseudo fans. although they might be sad if they actually met them.
"you like our music? hm. well, you bought our cd at least. wait? you didn't? you just burned a copy from a friend? man!"
anyway, i went to see death cab for cutie last night and it was one of their best performances. and they played several classics. but the audience only really cheered for the transatlanticism tracks.
transatlanticism is not their best album. it's mediocre compared to the photo album or we have the facts and we're voting yes.
but fine. whatever. cheer on dcfc newbie fans.
yesterday was also my last day at work. while i was typing my goodbye email, i was actually a little sad. very very minutely, but still i felt a little sadness.
i guess i've been there long enough to miss... something. but there was no way i regretted leaving.
