Tonight I expanded my horizons by tagging along at a private acoustic session hosted by 94.7 featuring the front men from Death Cab for Cutie.
Here's a totally meta video of a happy-sounding song with a depressing lyric. I can't decide if it's ironic or just confused. Since the name of the band comes from a 1967 song parody, I'm inclined to go with ironic.

"Here's a happy-sounding song with a depressing lyric."
Dude, 's what pop music is all about!
I don't always feel fit to be a Portlander either, Marc. Someone once told me that true Portlanders love beer, dogs, and bicycling. I'm not really a fan of any of those! (though I do congratulate you on your biking adventure yesterday.)
Now THAT video was great!
Ok so I'm reading your books and I'm newly addicted to your blog and I totally want to be bffs. :) Has doing something new every day made you happier?
I hope so. <3. It's such a fantastic idea.
You'll never know with Death Cab. . .
It's definitely made me happier.
What's been your favorite thing so far?
I love Portland though I'm not into beer or skiing.
When I moved here 11 years ago, it was fun being asked, "Where are you from?" I knew it was an anti-Californian question but when I said "New Jersey" eyes would glaze and one person even asked me if that was a state. Just to confuse people I would add, "Before that, Cleveland." [Ohio]
Not just *any* song parody... a song parody by Neil Innes!!! Right on mother scratcher!
Ain't you ever heard the Secret Policeman's Ball? Or the Rutles? How about some Monty Python?
:-P
Responding to Ineedarecess, I'd have to say my favorites have been having a drink thrown in my face, riding an electric wheelchair and walking on stilts.
