Rock-Star Blogs: Post Punk, Post Rock, Post Hip-Hop…

DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE
http://deathcabforcutie.com/blogs/

THE BIO In the ’90s, they were merely Northwest twee favorites; the 2003 breakout Transatlanticism made them SNL-playing, Billboard-charting indie icons.
THE GIST Each Cabbie takes a turn at the wheel with his own corner of the blog, though you can also read them all at once. The boys muse on current events, the recording process, and silly links. For a bonus, singer Ben Gibbard digs through old records and posts audio streams.
GRADE B+ Clean, witty, and well designed; still, fans may have to wait awhile between entries.
