So I’ve been sad for almost four years now. That’s how long the wonderfully quirky D.C. band The Dismemberment Plan has been broken up. I’ve been really sad since April, 27th 2007. That’s when The Plan played the first of two reunion shows at The Black Cat in Washington, DC that I was (super unfortunately unable to attend). Damn I loved The Dismemberment Plan.
The shows were concocted to benefit Callum Robbins (son of producer extraordinarie J. Robbins). He suffers from Spinal Muscular Atrophy and although I won’t go into details here (for that go here) he is a little guy that needs your help. You can make a donation or buy this 2xCD of which 100% of the proceeds go to Callum’s care fund. We bought the CD and hope that you will show the same love that The Dismemberment Plan plan did just about a month ago.
The MP3’s below make up The Plan’s set from the first night (4/27). I’ll have the second show (4/28) up in the next few days.

oh the plan. i was there for the show on the 27th and it was amazing. (and i got to go up on stage during ice of boston singing, dancing, and taking pictures. lost my shoes in the process though!) i got to meet travis , eric, and j robbins, saw ben gibbard (even though i didn’t think it was, but it was. no, i didn’t scream “TEAM MELOY!” at him. should have.) and had a blast. the best gig that i’ve ever been to.
and i have the set on my ipod and i love it. it was great. so great. (just don’t go driving in D.C. it’s a bitch!)
