Have you ever lost something or someone dear to you? Though it ranges in severity and impact, loss is a shared human experience – an inevitable, inescapable part of life. Praised for her humor and sharp wit, essayist and novelist Sloane Crosley delivers her first memoir Grief is for People, exploring how loss can take many forms. After the pain and confusion of losing her closest friend Russell to suicide – which occurred only a month after also losing prized possessions and her sense of safety following a burglary – Crosley looks for answers, even where they may be elusive. She seeks solace not only in those close to her but in art and philosophy as well, hoping for a useful framework outside the oft-cited five stages of grief. Crosley's readership may not have seen this side of the author, but will nevertheless recognize those observations and examinations of the human condition interlaced with levity that popularized her earlier writings. Grief Is for People seeks to upend the traditional grief memoir and offer both consolation and challenge to standard conceptions of mourning. Crosley's talk is for anyone in a current time of sorrow or who has experienced a loss and might welcome a discussion beyond platitudes. Sloane Crosley is the author of the novels Cult Classic and The Clasp and three essay collections: Look Alive Out There and the New York Times bestsellers I Was Told There'd Be Cake and How Did You Get This Number. Benjamin Gibbard is a multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter and guitarist. He is the lead vocalist, guitarist, and primary songwriter of Death Cab for Cutie, formed in 1997, and one half of the electronic duo The Postal Service. Gibbard released his debut solo album “Former Lives” in 2012, and he has scored two films. Gibbard is an avid ultra-marathon runner and a longtime resident of Seattle.   Buy the Companion Book Grief Is for People: A Memoir The Elliott Bay Book Company

Have you ever gone to a class reunion and had someone approach you to say hello and you didn't recognize them? You find out who they are and you said, "I hardly recognized you!"  There had been such dramatic change that they didn't look like you remembered them. When we come to Christ, there should be something significant that happens in our life that we may not look different on the outside, but how we live our lives outwardly should bring the question, "I hardly recognized you!" It's not that we are perfect, but the presence, love, grace, and power of Christ in us should make us notably different from those who know us. God is transforming us into the image of His Son. He is not making us into a better version of us!  We've been crucified with Christ and it is no longer we who live, but Christ!who lives within us. Life should be differentLet's open up the gospel and discover the gospel difference!

FeedBack w. Wes Nyle. EP20. Ben Gibbard. 07.20.122With eight albums in the books from his most notable project Death Cab For Cutie, one of the hardest working men in the indie rock scene is trying his luck with flying solo once again.The story for Ben Gibbard starts in Bremerton, WA where he developed an affinity for bands like The Pixies, Daniel Johnston, and Fugazi.  His first official band went by the name Penwheel, and only released one six song demo.A year later Ben was creating low-fi sounds of his own under the name All-Time Quarterback and released two EPs one, self-titled and the other titled The Envelope Sessions. That same year Gibbard change the name of his solo project to the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band song titled Death Cab For Cutie.The first album of Death Cab’s was another solo project of Gibbard’s released on a cassette.  Ben thought the reception of this collection of songs merited a full band and recruited Chris Walla; who had helped on the original cassette; Nick Harmer, and Nathan Good to round out the four piece.  Throughout their career the group has been nominated for 16 various awards but have only walked away with a Woodie and the Larry Award for 2003’s Break Through Artist. Even though the band had been around for almost 6 years at that point.In 2001 Gibbard was introduced to electronic protégé Jimmy Tamborello, known as Dntel (dɪntɛl).  The two worked on a couple of track with Ben on the vocals. Dntel was very happy with how they turned out and a few weeks later Gibbard was receiving CD-R’s in the mail with some of Tramborello’s, beats and melodies on them. Gibbard was given liberty to create what he wanted from the tracks and decided that his long-time partner and fellow guitarist Chris Walla would be an asset to whatever this creation happened to be. Every two months or so Ben was receiving packages that he would edit, add then mail back. Ten month of this would manifest into what we now know as The Postal Service: A heavily electronic oriented group dripping with romantic lyrics, and sprinkled with guest vocals from Jen Wood and Rilo Kiley’s Jenny Lewis.Ben’s appreciation for the writing of Jack Kerouac would land him a in a studio with Son Volt’s Jay Farr where they would create a tribute album Kerouac’s famous novel Big Spur, titled One Fast Move or I’m Gone.Currently Death Cab is on tour for their 2012 release Codes and Keys, and once the band is finished with the year-long world-wide tour, Ben and his overactive creativity will be at it again with an album that will be titled Former Lives. The album will feature tracks that have been marinating for the past eight years as Ben has made some major life decisions like ending his marriage, and cutting back his alcohol use.  Even if the official track list has not been released or even discussed, fans can hope that the album will harvest songs that are as introspective and creative as all of his other ventures.This is Ben GibbardTrack Heard In This Podcast: Pinwheel - Honey & Acetylene All-Time Quarterback – Rules Broken Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band – Death Cab For Cutie Death Cab For Cutie – Two Cars The Postal Service – Clark Gable Ben Gibbard & Jay Farrar - Big Sur Ben Gibbard – Set Yourself on Fire
