Ben Gibbard flaps his jaw

Ben Gibbard has been making overtures about the insincerity he perceives in Jared Leto and his band 30 Seconds to Mars. Citing his status as an actor who started a band, Gibbard claimed that Leto is only playing the part of a rock star, calling out his eyeliner and telling him to stick to acting.

A few things ran through my brain after this:

1) I wonder what Zooey Deschanel (Gibbard's actress-musician fiancee) thinks about this.

2) Gibbard might just be jealous because he can't act.

3) Gibbard in eyeliner would be scary.

Death Cab v. Autotune (2009)

I editorialize with pride when I say this:


Thank you Death Cab. Narrow Stairs may arguably have been underwhelming in hindsight, but at least you didn't autotune on it. Thanks for starting a campaign against it.

Autotuning. What a crock.
