Example:
"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"

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).
Example:
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.

A great talented indie rock band that has unfortunately been called an
'emo' band. All the emo rockers that listened to
taking back sunday and brand new heard
death cab for cutie and loved them. Since emo kids are totally lame and stupid, they started to call death cab 'emo.' death cab for cutie is a pop-indie band, not emo.
Example:
Calling death cab for cutie an
'emo' band is like calling
slayer a country band.
