Get excited. The Shins will be in town on Monday performing at the Palladium Ballroom with Viva Voce. This video from their Salt Lake City gig has me psyched. I've been wanting to see The Shins since before Natalie Portman said they would change your life. I really need to stop letting my opinions be swayed and influenced by the indie backlash. Wincing the Night Away isn't exactly brilliant or groundbreaking but it's a solid Shins album. James Mercer is such a great lyricist. I can't wait to sing the chorus for Saint Simon.
