Okay, before you vote, I'd like you to read this. As some of you may know, Death Cab and The Postal Service have the same lead singer, so I was just wondering which of the two you like better since each band has the same voice but different sound.
Now if you've only heard of the Postal Service (since they've been getting some airplay lately) and you haven't even heard of Death Cab For Cutie please don't vote, unless you've listened to both bands recently. I'm actually fond of both bands, but I was just wondering what everyone else thought, too. Mucho love, Alyson |

The postal service, honestly.
I enjoy Jenny Lewis' background vocals, and the postal service is a bit "faster"... iuno, it's hard to explain. |

Proud to say I've only seen one episode of the OC because my friend forced me to watch Mischa Barton make out with some chick.
I didn't know they mentioned (and played) Death Cab on the OC, but I did hear them play The Sound of Settling during the credits of Entertainment Tonight. O_O Really it's either you've heard one or the other, I haven't met many people who know both bands. Currently I'd have to say I like Death Cab better, simply because I love their song Photobooth. Not only that, but the radio station I always listen to keeps overplaying Such Great Heights. Also, their sounds are noticeably different, like Postal Service has a sort of techno sound because they use a synthesizer. Just my two cents. Err or maybe 5. Mucho love Alyson |

Oh. Drama.
Anyway QUOTE ^totally didnt know that Really, you didn't know? I had always thought it was obvious. A lot of people say The Postal Service's songs are a bit techno-y (even I do) but Death Cab uses beats/synthesizers in some of their songs too, so it's hard to call. Both bands just have a really distinct different sound -- maybe it's because TPS is a bit more upbeat while Death Cab is more mellow and serious? Ack, I'm getting lost in my own gibberish. Mucho love, Alyson |

i think both of these bands are amazing.
The Postal Service is a little more..new age...and different. death cab is more emotional, and the lyrics are amazing. ![]() |

A Mcdonald's commercial?
Well, I try not to let it bother me that much. I don't start turning down bands because they hit it mainstream, it just gets annoying to have to deal with a fanbase of people who I personally feel don't appreciate the music wholeheartedly. [/off topic-ness] I never knew it was so hard to choose between the two. I'm listening to another one of my favorite DCFC songs, 405 the acoustic version. It's a very interesting song. ^_^ Mucho love, Alyson |

QUOTE(learninghowtofall @ Apr 25 2005, 3:27 PM) they have giant blown up pictures of transatlanticism on the wall along with a listening station for that record in the virgin record megastore in san francisco. i should also mention the rest of the listening stations were for big pop artists. that and many other similar things (such as they were signed to atlantic, their shirts are sold in hot topic, etc.) make me consider them mainstream... or at least borderline mainstream. i think their next record ("plans") is going to be huge. |

I wouldn't say they're mainstream. They're known, but not really for their music, only because of the OC. I was reading in an article that they don't want to get big or have videos on mtv. They just want to make music they love. |

They're still pretty mainstream, regardless.
When people in my Spanish class know who they are, it's bad. |

....um, when listening to both, I know they have the same lead singer.
There's not that much difference between them. If you like one, you'll like the other. |

that's a hard decision. i feel stupid, cause i really didn't know that they had the same lead singer. i just thought it was two guys with similar voices. oops.

Death Cab for Ugly is pretty boring. The Postal Service has their moments, though. I'll go with them.

I propose we make a new band.
Death Service or Postal Cab or Cab Service or Postal Cutie or Service for Cutie I'd listen to those bands. |
