		I called Walla recently to see if he would be interested in talking about Vowell's latest, "Assassination Vacation," and he agreed.
		Part travelogue, part memoir, part history lesson, "Assassination Vacation" is a fascinating retelling of the assassinations of presidents Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley -- of the lives those men lived, of the circumstances surrounding their deaths, of the monuments, statues and preserved residences we have to remember them by.
		Below, Walla talks with her about that mission, her obsession with death, "The O.C." and why an essay is like a Manhattan apartment.

	About NCE
		Chris acquired two more macaws and then attended several local events where Chris charged a nominal fee for a photo of people holding the birds.
		Chris soon discovered that this was not going to turn out to be a big money maker because people very much wanted to talk and hold the birds, but not so many wanted to pay for a Polaroid photo to get the experience.
		Chris put all the money earned with his birds (plus some) "back into the birds" and soon was appearing at several fairs and elementary schools throughout the state of Washington.

		Walla sees the role of major record labels changing dramatically in the next few years.
		In light of the segment of fans who view Walla and singer Ben Gibbard as demigods, Walla laughed and said he doesn't know why that is. "People really connect with Ben's songs," he said.
		Walla said he doesn't feel the band is "selling out" by allowing songs to be used in mainstream venues as long as "outlets don't become more important than the fact that we've been a band for eight years, touring and making records for a long time".

		It felt like it was going to be about the same thing, except that there was a contract involved and we didn't really know these people and they were on the other side of the country.
		Because we went from Chris recording a tape for me, to, all of the sudden, "Hey, let's play a couple shows," "Hey, you play guitar on some of this stuff, why don't you play guitar in the band?" "Sure, that sounds fun." All of a sudden, a couple months later, we're heading out on tour.

		With co-producer Chris Walla at the controls, the five musicians collectively known as The Decemberists emerged three weeks later with the bulk of the work completed for Picaresque (Kill Rock Stars - March 22, 2005), their most ambitious and realized effort to date.
		Walla is probably best known as the guitarist and keyboard player in the band Death Cab for Cutie.
		Similarly, multi-instrumentalist Chris Funk introduces a virtual army of traditional instruments in order to accentuate the Picaresque aural landscape alongside the myriad characters that populate the songs.

	Death Cab for Cutie-Growing in the Studio, Making Plans
		Walla's ability to step out of his head and let instinct for the emotional truth blossom paid off handsomely with “I Will Follow You Into the Dark,” an unadorned solo performance with Gibbard on acoustic guitar.
		Walla describes the feel as a “disco song that has pretty much a bunch of acoustic instruments on it,” but that is due more to the way the kick drum and the accentuated hi-hat sit in the mix.
		Walla's other favorite production devices include the Chandler Limited TG1 Abbey Road Special Edition (a re-creation of the classic '60s-era EMI TG12413 limiter), the Millennia HV-3D 8-channel microphone preamplifier and a rather arcane unit by Lexicon called the Varispeech time compressor/expander, which he likes to use to enhance drums — particularly snare — sounds.

		Chris: [F]actory farming is just disgusting—all you have to do is look at a couple photographs, and it’s not that hard to figure out.

		We’re ensconced in a quiet, residential part of the city—houses with windowsill figurines and tricycles dot the block—and it’s entirely possible someone’s grandmother lives next door, unaware the members of Death Cab for Cutie, the crown princes of Seattle indie rock, are completing their fifth LP, Plans, within the confines of this nondescript façade.
		Death Cab hunkers down in its third studio this week; the mixing board blew up at guitarist/producer Chris Walla’s renowned Hall of Justice, then they were accidentally double-booked at Avast I. Bands of lesser character would be reduced to tantrum, hurling retro eyeglass frames and stomping their Pumas.
		Chris introduces himself from behind the mixing board, his smile offsetting Greta Garbo cheekbones.

		So when we were leaning on the barrier we were basically facing right out into this channel, with the stadium people sitting a bit higher up and about 15 feet away.
		Sooooo Chris Walla comes out along this corridor and is chatting with some girls, leaning against the wall that starts the stadium seating.
		We notice that a boy with a red shirt in the closest seat to the front is standing right above Chris Walla with a pen and paper, trying desperately to get his autograph, but Chris Walla is oblivious as he is chatting to girls.

		The reasons are various: Chris was on tour and booked at the studio through much of the time; Joe became very ill; the band was not playing out much; time flew.
		Chris had really outdone himself with this legendary studio (previous owners Jon and Stu in turn took over from the days when it was known as Reciprocal and was used for early Nirvana, et al), and we feel honored to be one of the first projects he did there.
		Chris Walla stepped up to the challenge, however, and recorded most of it in the infamous Ellis St. House-era HALL OF JUSTICE, running snake cables downstairs through a heating vent, along the kitchen ceiling, and down a flight of stairs.

		hris Walla is a busy man. When not playing Johnny Marr to Ben Gibbard's Morrissey in Seattle-based Death Cab For Cutie, he keeps himself busy producing bands like the Long Winters, Nada Surf, Hot Hot Heat and, of course, Death Cab themselves.
		I walked into the auditorium, navigated through the obstacle course of open guitar cases and amps, past Gibbard (said "Hi," since I have met him before – it would be rude not to) and found my way over to Chris.
		He looked up and said, "Hi, I'm Chris," and I actually found myself a little tongue-tied, but finally managed to blurt out "I’m here to do the interview." "Great, let's go get a coffee and talk," he replied.

		We set up our own recording gear in a cabin near the ocean and it just felt like it would be perfect for the sounds of that place to seep into the recording.
		Urgency but because of the deadlines we were up against and because of how draining it is to engineer, record and mix a record we hit on the idea of having someone else mix the last three songs.

		Recorded and mixed in eight days by CHRIS WALLA (DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE), the band lets it fly with a combustible concoction of powerful feedback and distortion-drenched hooks and melodies, rocked with unconventional structures, and an overall sweetness.
		Thirteen tracks that retain all the cheap beer shakes and office job angst of their previous recordings, while introducing some jarring new elements--songs that exceed the 90 second mark, extended musical segments, key changes, and guitar solos.
		Mixed by CHRIS WALLA (DCFC) at the Hall of Justice.

		Following the band's 2000 tour, Roderick holed up in the studio for several weeks with the monumental talents of Death Cab for Cutie's Chris Walla and Harvey Danger's Sean Nelson to make a new record of his own songs.
		The Long Winters are Chris Caniglia on keyboards, former Western State Hurricanes drummer Michael Shilling, and Eric Corson on bass, with frequent appearances by Sean Nelson (seating himself behind a motley assortment of lo-fi instruments).

		Back in August of 2003, the Decemberists had a 4-day sleep-over at Chris Walla's redoubtable Hall of Justice, sleeping on the floor in between recording sessions, eating crickets and small grubs from Walla's terrarium.
		Meloy's direct (and sometimes crass) lyrics fit his gruffly-strummed acoustic guitar in Part one, and blend seamlessly into Part Two, which moves from a loping waltz to a secret-agent-buzzed hot four.
		Hopefully, Chris Walla can keep dangling the carrot for these exhausting recording/camping trips.
