Death Cab For Cutie scored their first #1 debut with ‘Narrow Stairs’, moving 143,586 units. Pretty darn good!

Here is what Chris Wallace of Death Cab has to say about the Radiohead model..

“My favorite thing about ‘The Radiohead Model’ is that really, nothing dramatic happened … It’s available online, and also in stores. I trade my currency away to a retailer for a Radiohead product or experience. There isn’t such a new model. And that’s the most genius thing, to me, about In Rainbows … They’ve told a story everyone was dying to hear.” (via Coolfer – Stereogum)

It is slow on exciting news today, but more news to follow later in the day, more new music and recommended listening…
