about the shins: definitely worth checking out! i wish i could see them but of course they arent coming to the east coast. they are a four piece pop band from albuquerque, nm that has members of the group flake music (also highly recommended by me). i know they have a few seven inches out on omnibus records (www.omnibusrecords.com) and are supposted to be coming out with a sub pop singles seven inch sometime soon. i also hear that one of the guys in the band is a professional air balloonist! their music kinda reminds me of low-fi-ish early built to spill a la the normal years. and in response to the post Rescue Me- check these out! bright eyes-fevers and mirrors her space holiday-home is where you hang yourself to rococo rot-amateur view flake music- when you land here its time to return milemarker-frigid forms sell the red scare/orchid split built to spill-live cat power-covers sonic youth-confusion is sex and i wanna be your dog, sara
