Today readers, for your aural and visual pleasure, I present to you…
I absolutely love this song…and this video from Blogotheque. I believe that this is the first time I have actually seen The Shins and quite frankly, they look nothing like I thought they would. James Mercer has one hell of a beard. I don’t know…in my mind he was a clean cut little kid in a leisure suit. It just kinda blows my mind.
Anyway, I do love this video and the artsy-fartsy quality to it. Sorry for the short post today, but I promise I have lots more, musically related things coming your way including Owl City, The Postal Service (could there be another faceoff?!), and Jack’s Mannequin. God I’m an emo bastard.
That was quick.
I laughed at your claims in your second Jack’s Mannequin post to being prematurely elderly. You now have the dubious distinction there as well of sharing musical tastes with a guy almost exactly twice your age on the calendar – though half of it, perhaps, in his taste in cereals and cartoons…
Haha, it’s the absolute truth.
I should really just start investing in prune juice now.
I loved The Shins’ “Phantom Limb”. Must play more of their stuff. See my post “So to Pop on Ice.”:
“Ethereal vocal harmonies at pastoral pace – ‘ah-woos’ as cottage industry…”
Ooooh! AND Sara Bareilles. Good picks!
Rock on. 🙂
