Haha did anyone else read the drummers shirt?? Other than that, the shins are pretty good, i'm just beginning to get myself introduced with this band... so far so good
Love the Shins, but James Mercer is kind of a jerk. I mean, first he fires half the original band, then he announces that he's "taking a break" from the Shins? WTF
also, I really like how the bassist is really digging this song even while he's playing it. When I'm playing with The Surrenders, and it's tight, and it's one of my favorite songs... I tend to grin too, and I don't smile very often. Making music with friends can be a great experience.
don't ask why but when i hear this song i think about life and death,9/11, and virginia tech shootings......dont ask why, maybe cuz when i 1st heard the song i was watching the thing about virginia tech, i know pointless, and i dont even know why i commented this video saying this, but cool song tho:]
Why do they use figure skating, i figured the song is about friendship, but is the skater supposed to be like a wannabe star who imginaes themselves in the spotlight when they hit the ice?
my friend tried to get me into the shins. But it never worked. Although, this is the only song that stood out to me. but I dont think these guys are amazing or anything, although i probably havent heard enough of their good stuff, if any1 wants to recommend me some of their best songs, feel free to do it,
If you are "trying to get into the Shins" and you listen to New Slang and you don't like it...well...I don't think you are going to get into the Shins...or any other decent band for that matter.
never heard of them before today. someone asked if i'd listened to them and, seeing as i hadn't I decided to check it out... not lookin' too shabby. I'm going to check out some of their others...

@blatspanner Mercer is a dick. Fired his bassist and drummer, then a month later quit the band to start a new band?

@blatspanner Mercer is a dick man. Fired his bassist and drummer, then said he's "taking a break" from The Shins. Danger Mouse is the rad one.
