Cath... (Live on The Late Late Show)

[TheHouseOffice]

starts at 1:40

[TheHouseOffice]

The singer was so Skinny!! O_O

[2degucitas]

This band makes this old lady want to become a hipster. And, I HATE hipsters.

[legoman3620]

If you think ben was jumping around a lot just look at the bass player :)

[Opawhale]

Ben looks better with his big glasses on :)

[dashofchutmeg]

Oh, ha ha. What a great set of writers on this show! Get it? James Lipton speaking crudely and with graphic imagery! The irony! So funny! Ha ha ha ha! What genius!

[Kazzzo]

Best introduction on Craig ever!

Oh, and DCFC is pretty good too. :)

[tingkagol]

Watching Ben Gibbard makes me dizzy. He needs to stay still.

[DarkSideOfTheMoon991]

@tingkagol Watching Ben jump around is half the fun!!

[LieutenantSarcasm26]

Holy shit, I didn't even recognize Ben because I could have sworn he was shorter. Then I heard his voice and I realized that he was my man :D Dammit I love those bastards so much!

[sandy47555]

Death cab for cutie deserved an intro that was so amazing.....I mean listen to them?

[xChildOfProphecy]

God, they are just so amazing. <3

[ryta1203]

Bass drives this song.

[AZtwoNE]

Off subject from the song.. If Flo from progressive worked for me I would only pay her in sperm :D FUCKING ADS

[UtterlyMuseless]

Poor Chris Walla, playing his ass off, and the audio engineer had him turned all the way down.

[ETHANIOSAURUS]

@TheOfficialLizzieMP I agree. But all band's go through change and DCFC is not exception. I do agree i like Ben's old hair better. i still love all their music though.

[neelshiv]

I was testing out some salvaged speakers that don't work so well while watching this, and I thought that James Lipton said "farts like a vaginal doggy" instead of "barks like a bad little doggy."

[RageAgainstNWO]

Death cab continues to own

[WordsAmpersand]

Interestingly enough, "Cath..." sounds a lot like their older Something About Airplanes/We Have the Facts...-era tunes. Which might be why I like it so much!

[jomike31]

Sounds a little bit slower than usual...

[lightwolf345]

@jomike31 Yeah, Ben accidentally slowed down in the intro, which threw the whole song's tempo off.

[buckminster]

@lightwolf345 what a fuckface huh

[clokverkorange]

I love this song.

[alecmw]

where did good looking ben gibbard come from?? it's almost....how do i put it...weird

[boywunder343]

i dont like their new album it sounds so regurgitated ...they are getting blah now

[MutantWalMartGreeter]

to be honest, i still really really like dcfc's new stuff... but not quite as much as from albums such as transatlanticism, the photo album, and my personal fav, plans. narrow stairs is good, just a different sound than before... amazing band tho :)

[boywunder343]

hmm nah they are just the typical white male all american band now and god knows there are wayy too many of those...its just not original or interesting anymore..tegan and sara...a band they have worked with..sounds much more original and refreashing...and is my fav band

[DaBomb3434]

I disagree, there isn't many people these days who can write and song as good as ben gibbard. Not to to many bands who actually have unique and intricate drum and bass lines.

[mwtillotson]

@boywunder343

Typical white male band? Not only is pretty racist and sexist, but completely wrong. Songwriting is the heart of any good band, and Gibbard's songwriting is phenomenal. Good songwriting, in case you haven't noticed, is pretty goddamn original and interesting.

Your talk of being "too many of those" and DCFC's unoriginality is another way for you to say that you prefer style over substance.

[12dcfc]

anybody know what kind of guitar chris is using?!

[rubythuesday]

Gibson ES-335 w / Seymour Duncan 1959 pickups

[12dcfc]

thanks!

[bobert995]

@rubythuesday its a vox virage double cutaway

[blatspanner]

trebor fanny biters are up for the oscar for mediumest can of wesleys. jumped-on sess packers!

[whoisdennisrodman]

Ben lost weight doing myoor12's mother every night for a month.

[bibliophilecb]

Wow, lately Ben looks...dare I say it...pretty darn cute!

[GotTimeToooKill]

yah why is he so skinny?? does he do crack now that hes making more money :P

[FakeFlourescentSkies]

love james lipton

[shandritha5555]

awesome

[Metalsman75]

James Lipton's intro was OFF THE HOOK!!!

[MusicRained]

its really hard not to love these guys.

impossible.

sigh. :)

CATH!!!!!! lol

[myoor12]

ben used to be such a fat turd, what happened?

[onetimejustonce]

@myoor12 ....hehe...you said turd

[mira666]

fall in love again and again.

[xwexbitex]

Additionally, Chris Walla is the bomb.

Check out the new Tegan & Sara.

[xwexbitex]

So rad!

James Lipton intro was an instant classic.

Love DCFC

[clm211]

they're awesome. I'm obsessed. I love em.

[43v3ryoung]

Hahaha, the beginning is awesome. And Death Cab is even awesom-er.

[mebobmegood]

the drumming reminds me of i am trying to break your heart by wilco.

[Caleb48kb]

man, it seems more about ostensibility rather than the music here...

[ScarsMarkless]

The baseline in this song is reminiscent of Jenny Was a Friend of Mine by The Killers

[BileChunk]

They're just so fucking epic.

[jjp009]

I'm so used to seeing Ben wearing his thick glasses that he looks kinda weird without them. I love how he pulls the guitar cord out of his way at 3:48.

[sbdz4]

The standout track on Narrow stairs by a long way

[leotownsend]

what about grapevine fires?

[johnbird1994]

Ben is more in shape now haha

[logicalcorrelation]

one of my favorite songs ever. nice version here.

[AidenLS]

sweetness

[jfedde5250]

i think ben looks sickly here. i dont mind him losing some weight but damn, he looks close to anorexic here!!! i like pleasantly plump ben better.

[panicatthenat]

Haha I thought I was the only one that thought Ben looked like the dorky geek dude from Criminal Minds!!

[katiebird400]

@panicatthenat I thought that too. I like dorky guys. :D

Ben is marrying Zoey Deschanel!

[RedRoVVeR]

oh yeah he does! especially on the meet me on the equinox video

[wheresgeorge1025]

Ben can't stand still!

[PremusRed]

He looks and sounds like the smart nerdy guy in criminal minds.

[txg11]

ben has lost so much weight since Plans came out. He looks great

[taaang4lyfe]

Ben is sexy as hell.

[dingaling24]

i can totally see this song being on rock band 3

[gLhrMm]

i agree SO much *-*

[HyperAndHappy]

O'l Ben kinda looks like that Reed guy off of Criminal Minds. Tahaha, I LOVE YOU BEN! :D <3

[Speccy94]

Totally agree mate.

[kdbrown777]

Lost weight, lost glasses, and longer hair... he looks COMPLETELY different...!

Still love ya, BenG!

[SuddenSymphony]

Hey, everybody - check out 2:55-2:58. Ben strokes his new locks of hair right in the middle of playing the LEAD guitar for the song and singing at the same time.

What's he trying to do...... just laud it over us that he's so multi-talented and can multi-task all that talents at once? Just jokin' around. I wish I could do all that and be on tv.

[Peeze16]

wow he looks completely different

[cookies2992]

does he have the capo on the second fret

[Mr192210]

yeah he does

[DomerheadND]

hahahahahahaha james lipton

[jzh101]

is Cath the name of the song? have never heard this song before

[sophia1044]

yes it is

[cookies2992]

yeah cath is the name of the song.its off their new album

[nilharma]

He has lost A LOT of weight! :O

[higherness]

I'm only mildly entertained by the repetition. Certainly no Scientist Studies.

[flyingdagger01]

I didnt recognize him without his glasses...

[Cleyde19]

i love your music

[shkylija]

does anyone give a crap about the music or just how they look??

[midgetmaster888]

seriously thanks DCFC rocks

[AssimoOne]

@shkylija they're not nearly as bad as a lot of other bands though. i mean, what do they do different, looks wise?

[buckminster]

@shkylija just how they look

[beerstudd76]

@shkylija Do you suppose their look is not deliberate and carefully crafted?

[unexpectedpyroo]

here ben looks like jared leto in my so-called life

[honuecker]

Ben's hair looks a little too combed...

[locachicablanca]

Ben looks good. His hair's a bit like the singer's from Silversun Pickups.

[honuecker]

Yeaaah. He's lost a LOT of weight too.

[locachicablanca]

This is really random but this song reminds me of Donna Noble from Doctor Who. Maybe because her real name is Catherine and it's sad what happened to the character.

[ondreay]

Donna noble has left the library

[bobafe6604]

ben's coked out

[TylerMansmith1229]

what did he do to his hair? ben you looked better before!

[deathbee65]

He has lost his 70's Neil Young look to bad.

[sHRedDERofSeXx]

their bass player looks like Allen from the Hangover!!

[lenalovescakes]

omg ben looks so skinny... O.O

[aicfan85]

he has been losing a lot a weight..probably the whole getting famous thing.. Isaac Brock needs to do this as well.

[mattcattt]

no he doesn't

[honuecker]

He doesn't NEED to. Haha, he can do whatever he wants. Isaac looks fine the way he is I think. =P

[ElizabethLoves]

I saw him in concert and when he came out I was like "...Wow" He had long hair, wasn't wearing glasses, and had lots TONS of weight. He looked nice ^^

[nerdfighteralex]

Oh man, James Lipton, LOL!

[elev8torguy]

james lipton ftw lol

[magicalreality]

Oh my God Ben. Just wow.

[musiQFreak02]

He looks so GOOD!!! Did he get taller?

[PictureOnAWall]

He did actually.

[davidmoconnor]

Nah... he's just wearing some killer boots.

[bigfuckdaddy]

usually what happens when people lose weight. better posture

[r0xY85philly]

so good

[lesserdrake]

amazing :D

[mariasaurr]

ben looks so different!

[Ultrabananas]

u kno not 2 long ago bens fiance zoey came on the show

[paullarson1992]

Love that song!

[freeMHan10]

love his style.....

damn cool!

[STELLARgrl1024]

Seeing them live was an amazing experience! Best concert I've EVER been to.

[jerips]

i love death cab.

jason mcgerr and chris walla especially.

[frostflower789]

umm...I don't think Ben lost SO MUCH weight. I don't think he was ever really "fat". He just got rid of the glasses, grew his hair out a little and cleaned himself up a bit :\

[stellarstefany]

I didn't even recognize Ben! he looks so good!

[Binxxpunkrokka]

ben, whoa, when did you look this good?!

i kinda liked his specks though.

an all over amazing band. seriously, dont they just appeal on all levels to all different people?

[sandrokman]

this is great and i love this song but they've done this better

[SickNilva]

did ben gibbard lose weight or what

[areyoukind69]

I just learned about this band......this band is for sure....way better live then there video's!!! I would say they would do well at Bonnaroo or Rothbury Festival....

[venuselephant]

umm death cab is legendary...lol barney stinson. anywho death cab is AMAZING live i have only gotten the honor to see them once. but the time will come again...and yes ben is a little guy now makes me sad there is a shortage of fat lead singers. : (

[KelsooKablam]

whoa there good live !

[13loodbone]

what is ben doing?! waving that thing around. not like that.

[anewamericanclassic]

Too bad the guy at the beginning wasn't funny.

[owenjay04]

James Lipton or Craig Ferguson? They're both hilarious when they wanna be! You have no sense of humor, I bet Ben and Chris and the boys liked that introduction...

[anewamericanclassic]

Lipton. Sorry. I just found his humor a little recycled. And Ferguson's the man.

[ScottOglesby]

i did not think james lipton was over 80

[tailgail]

i wish i had all their skills put together. that would be dope

[sivaband]

craig--if you watch the programe with any regularity, which of course you dont

haha

[XkoolaidheartsmeX]

i didnt even recognize ben... wow

[honoluluhairday]

haha tht guy was moving =P

[redragoony1214]

When he said Death Cab for Cutie it almost made them sound legendary...I got chills. :)

[anewamericanclassic]

I love Ben. But please, cut that hair.

[louie23fly]

this is the best band ever

im sooo in love with these guys

and he sounds so good live

im spewing i missed their tour

[DJVictor]

they dont even look like they're playing lol thats cool

[xzaynex]

Im curious as to how he lost so much weight in so little time... coke?  most likely... after all, he IS a musician.

HA

[roltthehunter]

I Really hope not.... but being a big man i feel like i lost a bit of cool points now that he is small ..... coke here i come?. "sigh"

[joeg19]

There was a recent interview where he put it down to having stopped drinking.

[futurefields]

Love the simple bell and hi-hat accents on the drums in the verse. Adds so much texture to an otherwise unremarkable song.

[Texage74]

Who cares what Ben LOOKS like?

All I can focus on is that sweetly unique, wholesome voice and those ravine-deep lyrics.

[NathanY579]

If I were a girl, I would have the biggest crush on

Ben

[griffinthecity]

it doesn't matter what ben or any musician looks like, all that matters is if they have great stage presence, a good sound live, and overall that their music sounds awesome. and DCFC wins in all those categories.

[RaGEInSIDeBodY]

by far the best

version of Cath..

all the other ones I've found aren't good like this one XD

[suckersatlife]

gosh ben looks so different, i like him better before. it matched him better. and the band.

[PerfectGuuitar]

Wtf?? He looks so different!!!!

[LorenzDCinDaHous]

is the late show i live show??

i think it is

[beornborg]

I'm stunned. WTG Ben! I'm inspired.

[LorenzDCinDaHous]

HOLY COW!!!!!!!!!! BEN GOT SKINNY!!!!!!!!!!

no offence to ppl who love him skinny but he looked way better with that hair cut when he was a lil fat..

he should change his hairs style...

BUT STILL HE GOT SO THIN!!!!!!!!!! OMFG I CANT BELIEVE IT!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!

[slimbillybob]

yeah his hair was better before...

[drumsticks135]

haha he looks kinda homeless now

[StevenZB1]

I want to live on the street and eat beans from a can... No hobo.

[drummerattic]

least his voice didnt change lol

[brownhijo]

WTF happened to ben?

[MikeyFlorida]

how did he lose so much weight? i couldn't recognize him.

[spetz3]

he had a jerry garcia deal going before.

[thisisapreviewvideo]

their gig is the best gig i ever saw....

[PandaxCutii]

i happen to love all of dcfc's songs but this one...isn't my favorite, the melody is awesome though. poor ben had to go off and change himself... v_v

[1LHPrincess]

Meat Loaf, Micheal McDonald, Pavoritti, Joey Fatone!!! When it comes to Rock singers, I guess you win! lol

[LifeIsLiar]

Ben has always been so gorgeous, he looked like a REAL guy, instead of an artificial model-man.

I miss normal-Ben. T.T

[xcountry1193]

i dont think that good singers are good because of being skinny, but just that there aren't that many overweight singers in the professional music industry period

[nino0057]

OMG Ben is so skinny now, he looks so much different.

[TyHairsprayProjectz]

Ben's glasses... Ben's glasses, where did you go! COME BACK! WE MISS YOU!

[TyHairsprayProjectz]

Oh, and Jason McGerr is totally hot =]

[SharkLover000]

i agree!

[ntf284]

Layne Staley (RIP) had quite an incredible set of lungs. He was thin as a rail his whole life.

[mattbennett28]

robert plant, freddie mercury, chris cornell...

[cpente09]

Steven Tyler, and Robert Plant.

[MTiovino]

the singer from linkin park dude

[lukemfnschindler]

matt costa

[LifeIsLiar]

Fuck yes, man, you rock.

[ecent05]

I think he looks much more cuter with the weight on him. That's besides the point, though. They are an awesome band. Let's just hope he's not losing it with dirty drugs.

[kmrknky]

ben's now thin... very different!
