The Shins... in a closet?

Here's a video that is of obvious international descent. I have no idea about the source. But, the result is two of the Shins performing in what appears to be a closet. It's about 8 minutes long, and they perform two songs.

Last time I posted something about the Shins I had someone comment that The Shins are not powerpop and by posting about them I was degrading the meaning of the word. But, it is without apology that I post another video from them. I've never cared much about strict definitions anyway.

Some Shins videos

Here are a few videos by The Shins. The first is the video for "Australia," and the seoncd is a live performance clip of the same tune from a live show back in February in Lawrence, Kansas.

ABC piece on The Shins

There's a big old article on The Shins over at ABC News today. According to the article, there was an accompanying spot broadcast on "The Mix" (which presumably is part of ABC News??) at like 20 minutes ago. Did anyone catch it?

The Shins performance video

Here's a clip of The Shins doing their breakout song "New Slang" live down at Easy Street Records. You'll need to crank the volume up, because vaporized had to stand further back than usual due to the big ol' crowd.
