They did a KCRW Morning Becomes Eclectic session last week, in which Mercer talked of the next Shins album, another Broken Bells album, and more. Here’s [...]

Starbucks Compilation 2010? Or Something?
January 21st, 2010 · No Comments · Mates of State, The Shins
Last year I talked about the Sweetheart Starbucks compilation, which I enjoyed greatly despite the weirdness that the songs were sponsored by Starbucks. Anyway, it turns out that they have continued the tradition this year, with another compilation of “indie” artists covering (relatively) well-known love songs. You can check out the details HERE.

Inside Scoop on The Shins, Kind of a Downer…
August 7th, 2009 · No Comments · The Shins
If you head on over to the PORTLAND MERCURY WEBSITE, you can read an interview by former Shins’ drummer Jesse Sandoval.

January 21st, 2007 · No Comments · The Shins
Yesterday I got The Shin’s Wincing the Night Away record in mail. It’s so beautiful, and even though I have “had” it for a while, loved the full quality version on vinyl! It also came with an awesome poster, sticker, and button. I know I have talked about The Shins a lot lately, but they [...]

The Shins On The OC

Yeah how about another Shins post? I am down if you are. After all, the official album release is upon us, and it’s just kind of exciting even though I’ve technically had it for two months or so. Anyway, I turned on The OC today (say what you will, it doesn’t matter), and the first [...]
