Death Cab's "Little Bribes" Video

When I hear the words "fan-made video" they conjure thoughts of a lame-ass youtube slideshow of some guy and his buddies doing kegstands while a Kid Rock song blares in the background. Then I saw this beast. Ross Ching made a music video for a track called "Little Bribes" off Death Cab's recent "The Open Door" EP, and not only does it fail to suck ass, it is crazy cool. So cool in fact, that after it stormed the interweb and the band saw it, they contacted Mr. Ching and made it the official video of the song. So click on the title of this post to watch it and wish you were Ben Gibbard and got cool indie chicks like Zooey Deschanel.
