2004, Barsuk Records
In 1997, before Death Cab for Cutie was a band, Ben Gibbard and Chris Walla made an eight-song cassette. Originally released by Bellingham's Elsinor Records, "You Can Play These Songs With Chords" is a remarkable document of what was to become DCFC. The Barsuk release compiles the original eight songs (five of which were later re-recorded for "Something About Airplanes"), plus 10 tracks of unreleased early recordings, covers, and outtakes from 1997-2000 (taken from recording sessions for "Chords," "Something About Airplanes," and "We Have The Facts And We're Voting Yes").

A very fun album. After listening to this album I became a fan. In my opinion "You Can Play These Songs With Chords" has a much more experimental feel to it than the newer releases Death Cab for Cutie has put out. All-in-all, a very enjoyable listen tying random instances (ie. Flustered/Hey Tomcat!) and the indie rock ballad together to make it an even more of a worthy compilation.
