David Cross, 'Let America Laugh' (Sub Pop)
By Andy Greenwald 02.23.04 4:00 AM
As the bald half of late-’90s sketch-comedy duo Mr. Show, David Cross perfected a particular strain of prissy, highly articulate rage. In 2002, Cross took that rage on the road, playing rock venues across the country with Atlanta band Ultrababyfat and videographer Lance Bangs in tow.

Bam On The Run
If you’re going to be drinking with Brandon “Bam”
Margera, watch what you say. One night this summer, Margera was at
a bar near his suburban West Chester, Pennsylvania, home when he
heard his Jackass coconspirator Ryan Dunn shooting off his
mouth. “He was talking all kinds of shit,” says
Margera, 24, in his hyperactive Philly accent, “saying that
if he was in Iceland tomorrow, he’d go over this waterfall in
a barrel. So I went home and straight-up bought tickets, and we
left the next morning. He pussies out for like three hours until
finally he was like, ‘Dude, you spent seven grand flying us
out here!’ and he powered it out and did it. And then we just
went home.”

But comb your faux-hawk down, flip it, and reverse it: Death Cab for Cutie cutie Ben Gibbard is the poet laureate of the young and hopeful. On three previous DCFC records--and on his masterful detour into indie electro, the Postal Service’s Give Up--Gibbard has made a compelling case for yearning.
