The Shins - New Slang - Live @ Easy Street Records

[wcdons]

as a photographer, the "pale" look is due to "hard" lighting. The camera is taking an average reading where he really needed a "spot" reading on his face to make an accurate aperature setting.

[DullTorpor]

Just discovered this song yesterday. Can't seem to get enough of it.

[bbqwhaaat]

@DullTorpor It's been 10 months since this comment. Can we get an update on your experience with the shins since then? :)

[DullTorpor]

@bbqwhaaat - Well, still like the song, though I don't play it as often. Still discovering the music of the Shins; like pretty much everything I've heard so far. Thanks for asking.

He don't sing this too well live. Regardless, this is an awesome song.

[beyesonfire]

haha no that's not ben gibbard on the right (their left). i could understand the confusion, however. they are similar-looking.

[prophetOfAnime]

is this when they were just startin out?

[effendo]

they aren't from australia or portland. they're from albuquerque, new mexico

[aquariuslalo]

Probably from NM, but at this moment they are based in Portland, media ask them were they are from, and they say Portland.

[becky1455]

their from australia

[prophetOfAnime]

[crackpotdweeb]

dawn breaks like a bull through the hall.

the shins are masters of lyrics, enough said.

I covered this song but just could not do it as much justice as this...one of the best songs of our time hands down

[SW94929]

I agree. Gr8 tune!

[anotherjoshua]

great song, but he looks bored and asleep

[lfgubrs]

@anotherjoshua thats just his style :)

[venguitarplayer]

where are they from? unique style of sound.

[oakeysmokey]

ever since I seen the movie Garden State, this tune brings back haunting memories.

[Marsutofon]

i'm gonna watch this repeatedly all night, nothing short of magic :*

[Marsutofon]

greatest version of "new slang" i've heard. the haunting backing vocals in the outro/intro has always been my favorite part. but the harmonies as mentioned, slayingly gorgeous *sobbing*.

[Ankapa]

harmonies :):):):):) very very good! thank you!

[venguitarplayer]

beatiful song. harmonies are deffently amazing.  i would like to hear just him though.

[steiketa]

they seem to mess up this song most of the time but this performance was beautiful and made justice to the song.
