Death Cab for Cutie's from Seattle, not Boston. Maybe that's why they mocked the opening act. Who was the opening act?

It's killing me that I can't remember. It's four syllables and the lead singer is of Pacific Islander or Asian descent. I actually had most of that thing written a month ago, but held out in the hopes that I could find the actual name of the band. I have never seen an opening act do that many songs. It was really shaping up to be the worst concert I'd ever been to when I thought that they were playing all those DCfC tracks on the one album of theirs that I had not listened to at that time. What a relief!
Of course, I am a huge dumbass for not knowing that they weren't the real deal, especially since Death Cab rattled off what I considered to be their best songs, one right after another, when they finally got up there.
In other news, Hall and Oates is coming to Colorado in June. I have never seen them in concert and let's be honest -- they are both pushing 70, I think. This is probably my last shot!

Was the opening act Postal Service by any chance?

Someone covered a Cyndi Lauper song?!? I didn't think Cyndi could cover her own stuff, much less someone else. Please tell me the singer didn't do that high pitched squeal-sound between the verses (reminiscent of the late David Lee Roth or a chipmunk getting it's nuts run over by a Schwinn Apple Krate). Stuff like that used to drive ne nuts when they actually played it on the radio. (WCMF, to boot)
Without me even hearing it, and there's no need for me to D-load the, er, music, I concur that it IS the saddest song in the history of the world.
Here is a Cyndi lauper video that is just as good as eating a half pound of raw sewage. Don't say I dint warn you, heheheheheh

"Why don't you bake yourself a suitcase" is the best eviction line I've ever heard in my life. Is there any doubt that Roddy Piper is one of the ten most important human beings that has ever walked the face of the planet?

And here is the video of the original song, the footage you've all been secretly hoping this thread would deliver.
Directed by Ed Wood, apparently! I swear to Christ there isn't a second take of anything in the entire goddamn thing. Nice to know that EVERY SINGLE FRAME that was shot made it in, they wasted nothing.

Once about every 2 months I ask if he's heard Postal Service yet. Every single time he asks me who that is. But he's really searching hard for new music.
But no, I'm trying to remember the opening band, too, and I actually thought I reviewed it at some point, although that point may have been on a napkin at the bar between sets.
