rVibe Blog

We are so happy to report that the rVibe software is just about to come out of beta and be released to the public!  We have worked long and hard to ensure that our software is in the best possible shape so that you, the customer, has a great experience.  In an effort to say thank you for signing up for rVibe and to promote the sharing of new and unique music, we are giving our users a fantastic deal over the next month.

When a user signs up for the software and deposits $10 into his/her account, that person will receive 10 FREE downloads.  After $10, the more money you put into your account, the more free downloads you receive.  And dont worry, this deal will also be open to ALL existing rVibe members.

We hope that you use the free downloads to discover music/bands that you’ve never heard before and share the new music with the rVibe community.  Remember, every time someone purchases a song that you recommend, we reward you with $.05 (even if they’re using one of their free downloads!).

So get ready to have fun, make money, discover and teach people about new music, help charities, and learn all about the rest of the phenomenal features that rVibe has to offer.

Happy downloading!

Going Back to Their Old Sound  Without getting too much into things (the folks at Atlantic wouldn’t take too kindly to that), there are moments on Narrow Stairs that stop you dead in your tracks, send shivers up your spine and make you go “Whoa” (and when could you ever say that about a Death Cab record?). Like the first four-and-a-half minutes of “I Will Possess Your Heart,” a propulsive whirl of stalking bass line, spindly guitars and stabbing piano. Or the big-hearted middle section of “Cath … .” Or even the pair of songs that close the record — the spacey, tabla-infused “Pity and Fear” and the icy, somber “The Ice Is Getting Thinner.” Through it all, Gibbard paints watercolor portraits of crushed expectations (album opener “Bixby Canyon Bridge,” “No Sunlight”) and dashed hopes (”Your New Twin-Sized Bed,” “You Can Do Better Than Me”). The fact that its going back to their old sound but still is unlike anything DCFC have ever done before makes it all the more amazing … and all the more impressive.
