Hi, i'm a new fan.. have transatlanticism and really love it.. then i discovered the song "such great heights" by postal service, and i now have about 5 of their songs.. but i know ben gibbard sings for both bands.. but what's the difference between the two? i mean how does he keep up with two totally different bands? also- i have transatlanticismm.. and i bought about 5 songs on i tunes (postal service, that is).. what other cd should i get for both.. that you'd reccommend a new listener.. i mean what kinda stuff do they play at their shows? - i'll be at the summerfest show! my first death cab show! thanks again! Jess
Jess- New Blood!! Ha ha. Well, The postal service is Ben's side project. Since the release of "Give Up" He and Jimmy (Dntel) & Jenny (Rilo Kiley) have not done much else latley. Obviously Ben has been w/ the boy's completing thier new album. Jimmy Tamborello (Dntel) has recently released his new album, as did Rilo Kiley. I would suggest buying either " Something about airplanes" or "We have the fact's and we're voting yes". " The Photo Album is an excellent choice as well however, I heard the previous 2 when I first became a fan years ago. You should e mail me for further information & media that I have set aside. ditchingyoko@yahoo.com. Glad to have new fan's come aboard.

Jess! hahah i think everyone on this forum is gonna tell ya the same thing! get the entire death cab back catalogue!! Its worth every penny! Since you started with Transatlantism i suggest getting the Forbidden Love EP or The Photo Album first to ease you into the earlier stuff.
