Hey. You're cute.
But you keep talkin' bout the Shins on these NEW lists - that single came out in January and the album is out now too - doesn't mean you/we won't love it for the rest of our lives, but thins move fast here on the internets.
Old news ;)
Yeah, well, I just hope Danger Mouse can wrangle them in. Simplify the production. More drums (duh).
Always a decent band (U2), but overproduction has killed them since All That You Can't Leave Behind (some gems on that one though).
is it just me or does it seem like they are over-exposing this album?
kinda like noel gallagher's high flying birds last year, the release date seems to have been set a bit far out, and they (The Shins? The record company?) try to keep the hype rolling by releasing new songs/videos every damn week.
i mean, i know i don't have to listen if i want to wait for the record, but who can resist?
it's like the spoiler-filled viral marketing of movies now. teaser sights, 3+ trailers and tons of clips/interviewsmaking-of material put out before the flick hits the screen.
good track, though.
Sweet. Lytle's Department of Disappearance will be out this summer already and now *maybe* a Grandaddy release will come of this.
Must make sure the Talkscapers know of this.....
why do i find myself still rooting for this chick and hoping she just gets better and proves everyone wrong someday?
i think Videogames seriously brainwashed my ass.
Go was a total surprise to me and i fell even more in love with it's (often superior) companion, Go Quiet.
This is another great surprise - I thought now that the group was back in the studio we might not hear anything solo for a while.
perfect christmas present for me!
the worst coldplay single.
every teardrop even grew on me.
the chorus here can be called "catchy" because it sticks with me in that "why can't i get this shite out of my head" kind of way.
though the noah and the whale cover (found here on stereogum) is decent.
don't know what to think about Mylo after a couple of days... i am a huge Viva or Death fan and... this just isn't cutting it for me.
on topic - missed out on that willie nelson cut - very nice.
and agreed, paradise is much easier to swallow here. it's a couple of things i like to call "subtlety" and "tone".
wow, this is great. maybe i just never found it before, but the only way I've heard this song is low-quality live recordings. though those performances were a bit more... ugh, emotional? still this is great.
I'm sure I will end up lovin this record like everything Pavement/Malkmus, but I was expecting more from this Beck produced effort than I've heard thus far.
