THE SHINS - DOUBLE BUBBLE (NEW SONG) - HOLLYWOOD PALLADIUM - 5/10/09

[doctorvague]

I'm really digging this new drummer. Nice energetic style with the chops and taste to pull it off. How does Mercer hit those high notes?? For his sake I hope there's no Vice-Grips involved. Love the song. He can write 'em.

@doctorvague f that, jesse was great

[genericnerdyusername]

@mreit28 Don't think he was saying that Jesse was shite or anything.

[Lontokka]

Simply amazing! I like how they still sound like 'The Shins', but yet so different. Looking forward to their next album! :)

[pwnerlwner]

I like the new sound! I'm glad a new album is coming out, but why no Marty and Jessie

[jimijimi1029]

That sucks that they got rid of Jesse (drummer) and Marty (bassist). They were great.

[WeEatBrainz]

They got a new drummer for the new album. James said the album will be faster paced than Wincing the Night Away. I hope it will be more like Chutes Too Narrow

[ISCHNIK]

Sounds like a more technical and challenging take on the style of music from their first album. I love it.

[indierickenbacker]

no marty or jessie. :(

[seanybooboo]

you guys are retarded; for such shitty audio quality, this actually sounds pretty good and his singing is astounding. Let's wait until an album version to judge, yeah? The crowd seemed to love it

[phantomcauses]

Sounds okay. For one thing, let me point out that it's a challenge to gauge the quality of their sound due to all the white noise from the video recording. Also, there's a lot of weird reverberations in the background that make things sound a little strange. Guess I'll just have to judge things better once I hear the new album in its entirety.

[ToolsnFire]

Sounds like The Shins, as a derivative composition of their previous songs, and good at that.

[yesjakeyes]

seems not too long ago that so called indie music didn't suck. so many of these bands aren't what they used to be.

[blackhelmetman]

Oh man this song sounds awesome

[MarijuanaGood4U]

Sounds weak

[digitalLUNG]

I'm gonna wait for the new album to be released before passing judgment. From what I heard here though, I wasn't too impressed but then again, the Shins are very underwhelming live. Just like Death Cab For Cutie's live performances these days..

[thegreenflashlight]

eric johnson obviously plays keyboard now, marty played bass most of the time, so the instrument line up is the same, just who plays them is different

[TheBrokenFrog]

i LOVED the keyboard. just look at red rabbit and when i goosestep some of my favorites. im pissed im not gonna lie

[mrfranklyzappa]

And then ya jerk it out! Right? Right?

[Fiodoraa]

the police..

[SweepTheLegYo]

He definitely seems to channel Sting at about 1:45ish...Good call.

[IAmLollos]

that hand was used as an instrument, i believe. Shaker?

[myaccountgotdeleted7]

i wanna know why they have a hand on their drum set!!

i noticed it when they played at the electric factory last night and i kept wondering why the hell it was there....

[maxiscool8414]

dude wat ever i saw this concert and it was amazing haha

[slstratocaster]

i actually think this song sounds great, shows promise for sure.

[cungar1001]

Didn't realize they're lineup changed. The song doesn't sound that great.

[jcupsmells]

YA they got rid of drummer and keyboard. sadness. loved keyboard stuff in the old shins stuff.

[BootehCuteh]

keyboarder is still there... just saw em live

[jcupsmells]

its eric. not marty. eric does keyboard now. but marty was there original keyboarder.

[thegreenflashlight]

marty's gone? he also did bass, is the new guy permanent? also, the old drummer was great, this sucks. I mean, I still dig the new song, but its too bad the lineup changed

[jcupsmells]

ya really. i think hes permanent. so many shins songs that will never be the same... caring is creepy, girl inform me, when i goosestep. no keyboard for those songs just make them plain and boring
