He is the founder of Deathcab For Cutie. He asked me to read the following from his wikipedia:

Early years (1997–2002)
[edit]
Death Cab for Cutie, the name deriving from the Vivian Stanshall/Neil Innes song "Death Cab For Cutie", began in 1997 as a solo project by Ben Gibbard when he was a guitarist for the band Pinwheel. He recorded under the name All-Time Quarterback. As Death Cab for Cutie, he released a cassette, You Can Play These Songs with Chords, during the same year. The release was surprisingly successful, and he decided to expand the project into a band, hiring Chris Walla (who worked on the cassette) on guitar, Nick Harmer on bass guitar, and Nathan Good on drums.[3] Death Cab for Cutie was formed at Western Washington University in Bellingham, Washington. Lyrics from early songs include local references that were important to the band's development.[4] Many of the early songs were recorded in the basement of a house on Ellis Street in which Gibbard lived with several roommates.[5]
The four released their debut album, Something About Airplanes, on August 18, 1998. In 1998, the band met their manager, Jordan Kurland. Kurland had heard the band praised, and after a failed attempt to see them perform at South by Southwest he met them while touring with a client.[6]
The band released We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes in March 2000. Nathan Good left the band during the making of the album and was replaced briefly by Jayson Tolzdorf-Larson. Gibbard played drums on the majority of the album, with Good's playing on "The Employment Pages" and "Company Calls Epilogue" kept on the final release.[3] Although Tolzdorf-Larson did not contribute to the album, he did appear on the song "Spring Break Broke" from the "Death Cab for Fiver" 7-inch record. He also joined the band on two tours, including their first full tour of the United States. Tolzdorf-Larson was later replaced by Michael Schorr, who would first appear on The Forbidden Love EP, released on October 24, 2000.
In 2001, Death Cab for Cutie released their third album, The Photo Album. Limited editions of this album contained three bonus tracks, which were later released separately as The Stability EP.[7] The album produced the band's first charting single, "A Movie Script Ending", which reached number 123 on the UK Singles Chart, and was the first of three songs by the band to be used on the television show The O.C. "I Was a Kaleidoscope" and "We Laugh Indoors" reached numbers 115 and 122 on the UK Singles Chart, respectively.
He’s asking me to see the patterns about this weird thing happening. He seems incredibly powerful, patient and understanding. He’s telling me loves me “for doing everything for us”.
I appreciate friendship and love above all things and when you lavish me with affection it really keeps me going. I’m saying that to everyone.
This is the picture Ben asked me to put up. He’s showing me he knows exactly what I look like now that I’ve found out that I’ve been betrayed by everyone and that D spends all this time and money torturing me and my unfortunate twin. I can’t get them to stop. I can’t get any justice. Just more torture from D. She is constantly throwing me games. She is killing people and she is forcing my twin to commit crimes because that’s how HK taught her to run the world. Look at the wonderful stupidity HK brought into the world: My Truman Show Life.
D gets to torture me and my twin all she pleases because of BANKING. All the money comes from a magical place where D can get it and I cannot. That is why me and poor Elvis suffer like this. I am so so so miserable because of how she is torturing HIM. Well, what fun for her that she can steal from us and torture us all because of this wonderful magical source of money, that she shares with her cannibal friends who devour children as a matter of course.
If my only pleasure is defeating her then I will find my pleasure there.
Let’s look at the charts.
Ben has gotten me to realize that I do know him. He is extremely devoted to our cause and he does absolutely everything he can under heinous conditions. Everything Tanster is saying is absolutely true. D is an idiot torturer who lives to get her ass kissed. That’s why she’s so clueless she thinks she can constantly torture all of us because she’s got the bankers backing her.
She sure has a lot of boldness and confidence. She sure does barge forward, doesn’t she? I guess she has tremendous confidence is all that security around her these days.
All of them get a free ride from us if they help us.
