Tickets to Death Cab at Marymoor Park on July 18th just went on sale last weekend, and already a second show has been added the following night due to overwhelming demand. Tickets ($35, not including fees) for the Sunday, July 19th show are on sale now via Ticketmaster and Live Nation. No word as to whether the openers for Sunday are the same as Saturday--Ra Ra Riot and the New Pornographers--as of right now, there's only "special guests" affiliated with the Sunday show.

Ye Olde Stereogum is spending this whole week doing a track-a-day premiere of Death Cab's new Narrow Stairs companion The Open Door EP. Monday was Track 1 from the EP "Little Bribes"; yesterday was "A Diamond and a Tether"; and today they have posted "My Mirror Speaks." Now all you've got to look forward to--besides Ben Gibbard possessing your heart and/or following you into the dark--is "I Was Once a Loyal Lover" and a demo of "Talking Bird." The Open Door is available digitally next Tuesday, with a CD release next month.

Just announced: The Shins are set to play two shows at the Showbox on Monday, May 4 at 9:00 p.m. (all ages) and Tuesday, May 5 at 9:00 p.m. (21+) .

Tix go on sale this Friday, March 27 at 10 a.m. We'd advise you to save a few bucks by buying your tickets directly from the Showbox box office. Also on sale via Ticketmaster/Live Nation this Friday/Saturday: Death Cab/New Pornographers/Ra Ra Riot at Marymoor Park July 18, Ben Folds at the Paramount May 14, and Phish at the Gorge for two nights (*shudder*) August 7 and 8.

While clearly not as important as foie gras, there's another issue weighing on our hearts and minds. Death Cab for Cutie have valiantly taken up a meaningful cause: auto-tune. The band has faux-organized a pseudo-political campaign against "auto-tune abuse in music." At last night's Grammys, DCFC showed up wearing baby blue ribbons pinned to their jackets, which they claimed was to raise awareness for their "campaign."

She's already a member of She and Him, but now Zooey Deschanel is a part of She and Him? Is he funny or something?

It's Thursday night, and we're getting pretty psyched up for Sasquatch. We've spent the better part of our day online, listening to but a small sample of the bands we'll see this weekend. And tonight, we finally got around to watching this "Open Windows" Death Cab documentary video for Current.
