The short way of referring to a simply amazing band by the name of Death Cab For Cutie.
"I took cutie for a ride in my death cab
She tipped me with a kiss I dropped her off at the meth lab
Before she left she made a dashboard confessional
And spilled her guts in cursive but whats worse is
I could still see her bright eyes like sunny day real estate"

Irony tastes great when you're on death cab.

when the voice of someone you have never seen suggests that the person is overwhelmingly physically attractive, only to find, once you actually see them, that their physical appearance is not necessarily their best attribute.

(Used mainly in reference to singers whom one hears sing before they actually see them).
Person 1: I googled that singer we heard on the radio.

Person 2: Is he as hot as he sounds?

Person 1: No, he totally death-cabbed us.

A wonderful young group singed by Barsuk records from the indie-rock homeland of Washington State. Name came from a psychedlic song from the 60's.

Not emo. Unfortunately, if you write lyrics that are borderline depressing you get labeled "emo" when their music is more in line with other bands of that areas like Modest Mouse, and even The Shins.

Easily one of the greatest bands today.
Emo? Please. Bright Eyes sounds even less emo these days.
