The Shins // Bait And Switch (Video)

I so glad James Mercer and Co. (The Shins) are so generous with the music, the videos and whatever else they’ve thrown our way.

On this visual of “Bait And switch” we are treated to The Shins performing live and it’s a most beautiful thing indeed. Is it me, or does James Mercer have one the coolest singing voices, EVER! Make sure you mark you time-keeping devices for March 20th, or course it’s important, that’s the day The Shins release Port Of Morrow to the world. And if you haven’t you can most definitely Pre-Order it HERE. Peace. Continue reading “The Shins // Bait And Switch (Video)”

The Shins – Simple Song

About 40 minutes ago I got an e-mail from The Shins announcing the release of their first single, “Simple Song,” and boy is it nice. I am beyond happy. I really dig hearing James Mercer and his voice after a long hiatus. Plus, I’m really loving the guitar on this one, actually I love the whole damn thing. Good to have you guys back! Peace.

Listen to Port Of Morrows’ “Simple Song” endlessly now.
