Is it me or does the chick COMPLETELY kill it? James Mercer can sing without her just fine...

Dedicated to you......

Lucky me!!

@zkhandwala Are you talking about the C5 note, because that should be pretty reachable for someone like James Mercer, because his range sounds to me like a tenor (I may be wrong)?
-
Is that Neko Case? Because she doesn't seem to know the words.

@lebarosky: i know what you mean. i think people hang their sound on certain songs, like for example the song "weird devide" off oh inverted world sounds a lot like beach boys. but things songs has more of an REM folksy feeling to it. the most important thing is that mercers voice and songwriting skills makes for a very particular sound that only reminds us of the shins. id like to hear a new album from that camp soon.

I can't imagine how unnerving it would be to play in front of millions (via the TV)



People keep saying that they are influenced by power pop/Beach Boys. Yeah, that's like saying Mozart was influenced by Hayden. This group is brilliant. They sound "like" nobody I've ever heard before. Their lyrics are unique and mesh with their melodic themes in a quirky way that is entirely fresh. Ok I'm done.

I believe they kicked out the drummer because he didn't look like anyone famous.
