Hey Everyone,
I know you are all really freaked out right now. I am too. And while I’m proud that we’re all doing the necessary things at the moment to help flatten the curve, I know it has left us all incredibly isolated.
But because we’re all going through this nightmare together we are quite literally NOT alone. Our lives and stories are all linked, maybe more now than they have ever been.
Be it with DCFC, Postal Service, or solo I have always been grateful for the honor you have bestowed upon us by choosing to congregate en masse around our music. Some of you have traveled great distances and/or shelled out large sums of money to see us play and that has never been lost on me. So in this crazy and unprecedented time, I’d like to return the favor by coming to YOU.
For the next few weeks I will be playing songs everyday from my home studio. We will be streaming on KZfaq at 4pm PST daily. We’re still working out the details but I’m hoping to take some requests and maybe even have a guest or two stop by digitally. The first show will be tomorrow. It will assuredly be a little wonky and glitchy but we’re gonna do our best.
See You Tomorrow.

thanks so very much for doing this. not only does it help the group for which you're raising money, but i think it just raises morale in general. for me it was the banter in between songs as much as the music. same with the fb livestream from Frank Turner earlier. need to stay connected. and this kind of stuff helps pick up the down and outers. like me. it's dire for many already, if not health-wise, financially. keep at it. appreciate your work ben.

I'm so jealous. I finally got the opportunity to attend a DCFC show on March 1. They got through 4 songs before cutting it short. Glad to see Ben's voice has recovered. Of their classics, I only got to hear "The New Year"

@spinblackcircles 4 жыл бұрын

DCFC has been one of my favorite bands for 15 years but I hadn’t really been listening to them much lately. I broke up with my gf of 4 years about a month ago and so ben’s lyrics and melodies were exactly what I needed. I’ve had tiny vessels on a loop in my mind for weeks. And now today here you are helping everyone through an even harder time for the country. Thank you Ben.

Ben, your music has been a soundtrack to my entire life. Photo Album and Transatlanticism got me through highschool. I somehow convinced my wife to marry me by singing and playing many of your songs to her and we sang Such Great Heights together at our wedding. Now I sing Lily to my daughter Lilly every night when I put her to bed. Keep making music because it really matters to the world and myself and I really appreciate it.

All your songs bring me an incredible calm and acceptance in general. It was such an emotion when you started playing Crooked Teeth! It is my favorite song EVER and everlasting obsession. I wished I'd get to hear you live, thanks for this beautiful gift! I hope I'll also see you in person at a concert one day, in better times! If I could request a song, how about Marching Bands of Manhattan? I once had a horrible recurring nightmare, and in the middle of it, I started hearing Marching bands of Manhattan and suddenly the dream got filled with light, I also never had that ngihtmare ever since. So I listen to it whenever I need comfort. Thank you again for this.
