For a few weeks now I've promised that I'd review the Shins album I've been listening to (called Wincing the Night Away, as I hope you've gathered from this post's title) and I must say its an amazing album. Really, I had a great time listening to this album... and I don't know what it is, but this album seems to have depth, something that a lot of modern artists lack. The CD takes you places (although it seems to talk a lot about the ocean, including songs like 'sea legs' and 'girl sailor') and the singer's voice is enticing, so its fun to listen to this album (unlike artists like Amon Tobin, which can be compared to taking medicine: its good for you, but its not always easy). The music itself is light and airy... almost like what the Beatles would sound like in this day and age. I highly recommend this album to people who liked Death Cab for Cutie, or just like alternative music. It is very easy to like, as it is very unique.
Oh, I got a haircut. Not sure if I like it yet, but its nice. In addition, Cute with Chris has rather grown on me... I've found myself flipping through his videos.
One last thing: Last.fm isn't letting me embed audioclips anymore, so if you want to hear them you'll have to go to www.last.fm yourself. My two favorites have to be 'Split Needles' and 'Sea Legs'.
