Did you know that before Ben Gibbard got the gig as Postal Service frontman that a host of other "talent" to try out for the role? Betcha didn't!

Listen to the new Postal Service song, "A Tattered Line of String," with guest vocalist Jenny Lewis.

Ben Gibbard could probably use a little sunshine in his life. Maybe a Postal Service reunion will cheer him up!

In what I'm convinced is yet another ploy to plunge another dagger into the heart of poor Ben Gibbard, Zooey Deschanel recently posted a pic of a letter she received from President Obama on her birthday to Twitter. The pic raises many questions, namely how the hell does Barack Obama know who Zooey Deschanel is and why is he writing her letter on her birthday.

Count me as one of the people who would have never guessed that the video for Death Cab's "Under the Sycamore" -- a song about, well, sitting under a tree with the one you love -- would inspire a noir detective tale video.
