Pitchfork notes the surreal new indie rock universe

Pitchfork notes:

Death Cab’s new album, Plans, debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 this week, after selling almost 90,000 copies. Yes, we live in some strange alternate universe where Death Cab for Cutie sell more records than Mariah Carey.

And yes, despite having already listened to it at least a quadjillion times, I did the appropriate populist emo weenie thing and bought it first day on my lunch break.
