Shins @ Troubadour, 1/25/07, 12 p.m.

By Victor - Thursday January 25th 2007

Shins
The Shins played a free daytime show today. It was pretty good. They played some new songs and some old songs. About 50% new and 50% old. I never really thought about what a strange name for a band “Shins” is until today.

Shins
This guy’s TXT says “I am watching Shins.” That is accurate.

Shins
The show was sponsored by some radio station. I can’t remember which one.

Shins
Sunlight basks the band in it’s golden glow. No just kidding, that is artificial electrical light. But that is a rare glimpse of sunlight out the window of the Troubadour loft bar.

Shins
Dan Tana’s does not open until 5 p.m. so I came back to Losanjealous HQ after the show to take a nap.

The end.

    I love The Shins ever since seeing Garden State. There is confusion in the blogosphere today about when their new album would be released.

    KROQ DJ: OK, so you’ve just heard a little Paradise City, Enter Sandman, “Glamour Boys” by Living Colour, 20 Red Hot Chili Peppers songs, 5 Pearl Jam songs, a special request for Phil Collins, Buck Cherry and a half dozen bands who sound like the siblings of Godsmack and Staind got together and took a shit in the studio…

    …and now….blazing NEW rock by The Shins!

    No, the Shadoe Stevens mock-Crazy Eddie KROQ DJ specified that a gentleman named Oscar requested the Genesis tune. And supposedly Oscar had stressed that any Peter Gabriel-era material would be unacceptable.

    Incidentally, turned on KROQ briefly this weekend and caught Enter Sandman. It doesn’t take a crystal ball. May every band enjoy a Bob Rock era, though. I hear he is slated to produce the next RBD album which will have 4 versions: English, Spanish, Spanglish and ancient Mayan.

    Anyway, luckily, I found refuge over at Indie 103.1 in what apparently was a strictly Cold War Kids/Peter Bjorn and John 48 hour block.
