Revenge of the Book Eaters - a benefit for writing and tutoring center 826CHI in Chicago. In this clip you will see Ira Glass (NPR) introducing Ben Gibbard, but lo and behold comedian Fred Armisen (SNL) did some initial stalling (Songs in this clip: 'Brand New Colony' & 'I Will Follow You Into The Dark')For more information about 826Chi, please go to http://www.826chi.org/
My hate for Fred Armisen does not surpass my love for Ben Gibbard, thank god...

Umgah, this video. ♥
At first I was really angry with the comedian for a) being so ridiculously not funny and b) making fun of Ben
aaand then as soon as he started singing I just eee. He makes me happy inside.
5:58 - 6:25 I love how he like belts it out. Hah. :)

My guess is "We Looked Like Giants". Capo is on 2 in that song, and he plays that alot on his solo tours.

what was he going into after Brand New Colony? He put the capo on 2, and both songs are played in the 5th position
