i saw one of my favorite bands, the shins, last night in north charleston, sc. the venue left a lot to be desired, and despite a short set, i really enjoyed getting my first taste of the shins' music live. their combination of melodies/vocals is pretty amazing. i thought some of their music might not translate very well live, but i was mistaken. all the cool noises that you hear on one of their studio albums show up in concert as well.
their most recent album, 'wincing the night away,' is my favorite album of theirs. it doesn't have a song as good as 'new slang' or 'caring is creepy,' but overall, it's consistently better than any of their other albums. i highly recommend it.
i just wished they played a little bit longer last night...

i was kind of expecting a verbose yet eloquent review of the single greatest night of your life, especially detailing the amazingly awesome people you sweated all over.
wanna revise? ;)
love the shins-oh, inverted world, chutes too narrow and wincing the night away are three amazing albums...i really wanted to make it but we had to rehearse for our "huge gig" at salty nut...bummer
