I want to be in a band when I get to heaven...



I went to see the Shins at Mccarren Pool yesterday, and they were really great, even though they played 3 new songs, "the bane of the concertgoer's experience". And the best part of the night was that they forgot the words to
New Slang at first, which was awesome, especially if you're a fan of the Shins pre-Natalie Portman and her fucking headphones. I feel that head-bopping and back-and-forth swaying are the dance moves most suited to the Shins, don't you agree? There was a lot of unselfconscious bopping and big smiling going on last night, which was nice.

that sounds like a lot more fun than getting crushed by revolving doors...

... when cynthia and i saw the shins, i was not particularly impressed... or i should say, rather, that they were not what i expected. my disappointment may have had to do with the fact that the opening band (the brunettes) were fucking amazing... they (the shins) didn't play their cover of we will become silhouettes, so i guess i would've been disappointed anyway...
