Death Cab Revisited

Today, I woke up (somewhat) early, got out my iPod, put in my classic Apple earbuds, then cleaned the apartment. That last part wasn't that fun, but I did listen to Plans and Transatlanticism. I haven't really listened to Death Cab in a long, long time. I never thought Plans was their best album, but I still like it and it's still respectable. Transatlanticism is still my favorite album.

I usually go through a Death Cab frenzy every couple of months, but I haven't had one in quite a while. It's a little refreshing listening to other music and such, but it's scaring me a little bit. I know my love for Death Cab has faltered a little over the years, but they're still my favorite band. I'm just afraid that my occasional Death Cab listening periods will slowly transform into listening to them only when a song shows up on Genius and I may or may not skip it. I only hope they come out with something that will keep my unhealthy obsession for them strong.

I haven't had many favorite bands... Let's see, I think my first favorite band was 'Nsync. Can't go wrong with them. That was in elementary school. My next favorite band was quite a jump. I loved System of a Down in middle school. I think I unsuccessfully tried to be hardcore punk. Then I took a step backwards freshman year of high school when I was obsessed with Taking Back Sunday. Yes, I think that's the most embarrassing one. Then I fell in love with Death Cab, and have been in love ever since. Is it time to move on? Or will they keep my musical heart with their new stuff? I hope for the latter...
