NEWS: Death Cab For Cutie Music Video Plans

Death Cab For Cutie's latest CD Plans gets complex with the release of a series of videos under the name Directions. This anthology will collect 12 short films/music videos by 12 different filmmakers inspired by the 11 songs from Plans, plus one bonus cut. Songs that already have videos — "Soul Meets Body" and the next single, "Crooked Teeth" — will be represented by new videos by different directors.

The line-up for Directions is as follows:

SHOT: We Are Scientists - Akiva Schaffer, director

We Are Scientists lead singer/great white boxing hope Keith Murray fails to follow through on a promise to win his next fight for an ailing child. Poor kid. The video for "It's A Hit" was directed by Saturday Night Live writer/band collaborator Akiva Schaffer — who directed the genius "Lazy Sunday" rap video from this past weekend's episode of SNL.

NEW RELEASE: Rosie Thomas "Pretty Dress"
