The Shins

[Kalista]

I did a search and was surprised to find that there wasn't a thread on one of my favourite bands so I decided to make one for everyone else out there who's a fan of the shins. My favourite songs from them include 'new slang', 'kissing the lipless', 'caring is creepy', 'pink bullets' and 'girl on the wing'.

Oh, they are wonderful. My favorite is "Those to Come". One of the verses is one of the most beautiful ever written.

Eyeless in the morning sun you were
Pale and mild, a modern girl
Taken with thought, still prone to care
Making tea in your underwear.

I'm back in another phase of listening to The Shins again. They will always be a staple in my music library but now is a time when they are on heavy rotation...

I love the Shins! I'm not familiar with them, but I really started liking them after I bought the Garden State soundtrack..their music is very soft and soothing..

I did have a couple of days ago but I sold it so i could lat off to the ATP fest which is going to be blatantly wicked though I am more excited about seeing the Kooks and the severly underrated(though not by me) cribs, and spinto band...oh I am sad.

 

[mazzystar]

spinto band!! that 'oh mandy' song is the full on sh*t

I think it's the weather change.

They're so spring-y. Always put me in a good mood.

I was listening to them today too. They need something new though!

There's a concert on the NPR site by them. They're sarcastic as hell - they amused me.
