Death Cab for Cutie的主唱最近兩度和R.E.M.團員一同翻唱R.E.M.的歌曲，一次是一月底在墨西哥的Todos Santos Music Festival，和R.E.M.吉他手Peter Buck和Bass手Mike Mills演出《Out of Time》專輯中的〈Near Wild Heaven〉一曲。

另一次是在美國的一場慈善演唱會中和Peter Buck演出《Green》專輯中〈You Are the Everything〉一曲，由The Decemberists的主腦Colin Meloy擔綱主唱，Meloy在Twitter上說，〈You Are the Everything〉是他14歲時的愛歌，表演這首歌曲讓他感到非常激動。
