independent Death Cab music videos

It's called "Directions." It's this random new thing that Death Cab for Cutie is doing with their newest album, "Plans." Apparently they offered a handful of independent directors the chance to make a video for one of the songs on the album. Now they are releasing the videos one at a time. Right now (February 13—February 19) they are showing the video for "Different Names for the Same Thing" which was directed by Autumn de Wilde who is a really good photographer and has actually been photographing the band, Death Cab for Cutie, for the past two years. I have seen this week's video and I was able to find a link to the last video that was debuted, "Summer Skin" (directed by Lightborne). I actually like the "Summer Skin" video better because it just seems to resound so well with the unspoken debate between playful, carefree children and busy, drone-like adults. The next video to debut (February 20—February 26) will be for the next track on the album (coincidence...not likely), "I Will Follow you into the Dark," and it is directed by Monkmus, who did the "Year of the Rat" video for Badly Drawn Boy. The video that I am really waiting for with much anticipation is the one for "What Sarah Said," which just happens to be my favorite song on the album.
