DO you think Death Cab For Cutie would do well on mainstream radio?

The word around town is that the majors are courting Death Cab For Cutie in a big way. Can you people envision them on your local radio station along side the other "alternative" bands? I can't.

i think they would do well, but i wouldn't want it to happen

they'd have a chance to bore the shit out of a wider audience. huzzah.

Isn't that the equivalent of sleeping your way to the bottom?

they'd fit in on Australian mainstream radio. they would sit nicely in between Something for Kate and Powderfinger without anyone batting an eyelid

Why not? Anything that vaguely listenable can be marketed. It's all about targeting the right demographic. I think the kids would dig them.

Well, it seems like the key to having success on rock radio (with only few exceptions) is to have melody, but really dull and lackluster ones, and that seems to be what Death Cab does best. Maybe they can catch on.

I think The Sea And Cake would.

― Johnny Badlees (crispssssss), Thursday, 27 November 2003 23:05 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah, sea and cake are fantastically dull and lackluster.
