@TigerLikesTail sorry, not my point. new mexico is american, my bad. but their nationality is not american.

@TigerLikesTail i agree they are not all indies, but the point is that their nationality is not American. They originated in new mexico. not america. and they are mostly known as an indies band, not because the media wants to make people fall into line, but because the media creates these categories to organize music for those people that want a name for a group of songs that sounds alike.

@ImxInstraxMental Don't put groups into categories. Indie, Goth, Emo, all media created genres to sell records & make people fall into line. The Shins are not just indie. They are a good band with influences from all over. The Super Furry Animals are similar & write music that covers many styles. Search Youtube for these songs by them. Presidential Suite, Inaugural Trams, Hello Sunshine, Cardiff In The Sun, It's Not The End Of The World, Drawing Rings Around The World.

@TigerLikesTail ...except for the fact that they're an Indies band.

These guys are like the American version of The Super Furry Animals.
Very unique blends & a heavy leaning towards the melodic.
Not afraid to try any path.

Wow my mom is a good director!:D

A sonoridade alcançada pelos The Shins é estimulante no universo pop da atualidade tão pobre em coisas realmente consistentes. Esses carinhas vão longe com suas canções cheias de musicalidade.

@budahgee3 Read the works of St. Simon beforehand. Then you can probably share some ideas on philosophy and show you have an intellect.

Yes I am sure. When I did talk to him briefly once, he said, "Hi, my name is James. Can I plant a wysteria on the phone poll on your part of the side yard?" So I assume his full name is James Mercer, and probably not Kevin Spacey, plus he appears to be much younger than Kevin Spacey would be.

@budahgee3 Are you sure it's not Kevin Spacey?
The lead singer of this band moved in next door to me in Portland about 6 months ago, and I haven't said one word to the guy. He seems nice, he has a wife and kid and stuff, and he seems down to earth, but I just don't want to bother the guy. He makes pretty cool music though, I would like to pick his brain about the ideas in this videos though, they are pretty unique.
