Death Cab For Cutie Storytellers Premieres Tonight on VH1
It’s been eight years since Seattle’s Death Cab For Cutie filled another slot on the shelves of indie-rock’s library of classics with their addictively melodramatic 2003 release Transatlanticism. And although the effort was actually the group’s fourth LP, it marked the band’s inauguration into the world of commercial success—taking advantage of Ben Gibbard’s emotional vocals and deeply personal songwriting that, for years, has managed to make the lonely and indecisive seem cool.... read more

A few weeks ago, Paste HQ received a box set of the complete Daria series. The cartoon, which aired on MTV in the ‘90s, nailed teen ennui with just the right balance of eye-rolling and heart. Randomly selecting an episode, I wound up watching the bespectacled heroine try, ever so uncomfortably, to determine whether she was ready to lose her virginity. It was affecting, entertaining, and peppered with the absurd sidestories and clever social commentary (Sick Sad World, anyone?) that made Daria so fun to watch. It got me thinking, where can today’s teenagers find their generation’s Daria? The answer,... read more

Penn Jillette (he of libertarian fame) and Raymond Teller (he of silence fame) have had a comfortable career walking the line between manic meta-raconteurs and stage comics. Their early days on the late-night talk show circuit blossomed into a full-time gig in Vegas, and birthed their thought-provoking (and provocative) Showtime series, Bullshit! Always ones to lend their fame to a good cause, the duo recently announced they'll be hosting a benefit show for Bill Graham in New York City on Nov. 12: "35 Years of Magic & BS."... read more
