INDIE ROCK OLYMPIC SKETCHES: Death Cab For Cutie

Filed under: INDIE ROCK OLYMPIC SKETCHES

WHO: Ben Gibbard (Death Cab For Cutie)

SPORT: Power Lifting

WHY: Writing songs about having your heart broken is one form of release, lifting weights is another. If anyone ever turned Ben Gibbard on to the latter, Death Cab For Cutie may have to go on sabbatical during the summer Olympics. Gibbard's stocky physique is perfect for the sport, and being that he's from the Pacific Northwest, I'm sure he's carried a heavy log or two in his lifetime.
