Late Night: Death Cab for Cutie

By Jeralyn

Here's Grapevine Fires, the new animated video of the Death Cab for Cutie song.

"Grapevine Fires" was initially inspired by DCFC vocalist/guitarist Ben Gibbard's up-close-and-personal encounter with 2007's California wildfires. The song - which was recently included on "CHANGE IS NOW: RESTORING AMERICA'S PROMISE," the official commemorative CD-DVD set celebrating President Barack Obama's historic inauguration - motivated Walter Robot to create an animated short film which brilliantly relays the sense of devastating tragedy and forced optimism caused by the fire's wrath.

Guitarist/keyboardist Chris Walla blogged the Democratic Convention for Rolling Stone. We did a CNN show together the day of Obama's acceptance speech at Brooklyn's Bar and Grill and then made our way by media bus together to the Pepsi Center (quite an ordeal) and I really like him.

This is an open thread, all topics welcome.
