Two of the nicest bands with the meanest names around are teaming up for a tour of epic proportions: Washington, DC based rockers The Dismemberment Plan [whose newest album, "Change," was accidentally left off my "Honorable Mentions" list in my Top 10 - my bad] are hitting the road with Bellingham, Washington emo-popsters Death Cab For Cutie. The tour kicks off in Grinnell, IA [!] in mid-February and will head on well into March [although dates are only confirmed until March 1st].
