Barsuk and Death Cab for Cutie celebrate the 10th anniversary of the band's classic debut studio album with this deluxe reissue. Still considered by many fans to be DCfC's best album, but criminally unheard by many newer converts other than in the form of the handful of songs that remain staples of the band's live set ("Amputations", "Pictures in an Exhibition", "Fake Frowns"), Something About Airplanes is not just a document of a particular time in the band's history or of a bygone era of indie-rock, it's an enduring work featuring some of the band's finest songs ("Champagne from a Paper Cup", "Your Bruise"). Bonus CD contains Death Cab's first-ever Seattle show in its entirety, including a never-before-heard cover of The Smiths' "Sweet and Tender Hooligan" featuring Sean Nelson from Harvey Danger on lead vocals.
