the sins

Seattle-based goth-rock band The Sins emerged in 2000 as "NightMare Boy and The Seven Sins," a post-punk entity inspired by early Brit-pop bands such as Sisters of Mercy and The Mission, U.K. (as well as American rock legends ranging from Danzig to The Doors). Changing their name to simply "The Sins" in 2001, the band has consistently captivated audiences throught the Northwest with dynamic stage presence, vigorous showmanship, and strikingly powerful songs. With members from various backgrounds and disciplines (including a jazz-influenced live drummer and a classically trained violinist), The Sins boldly paved their own musical path, combining the familiar sounds of the British punk past with their own edgy rock influences and ideas.

The Sins have 2 full-lenth albums released on SINister Records, "The Beginning" (2002) and "The Last One Kills" (2005).

hit the skids

To rapidly slow down or stop a moving vehicle by mashing down the brake pedal. So named because of the tires skidding when done in a car without anti-lock brakes.

Can also be used in a metaphorical sense, in which it means to halt whatever action or process is currently occurring.

The police were waiting with a speed trap around the bend, so I hit the skids.

scored the sinslide

This can have two meanings. One is simply and FINALLY getting to having sex with someone you have wanted to for some time after overcoming many obstacles. The other meaning is rating the act of the sinslide afterwards.

Willie: I finally got to scoring the sinslide with Rach!
Bronk: Well, from the sounds of it you are stoked to have finally scored the sinslide, but seems like you would have scored the sinslide with a positive rating!

the shins

The Shins N.Another extremely overrated indie band, unfortunatley made famous by the "tries way to hard to seem indie and quirky" movie Garden State. With a couple nice songs were deemed the god of "indie bands" Their song New Slang featured in the movie, was called "a song that would change your life" although hardly anyone knows what the song is even about, but you seem to meet a lot of Shins fans who like them because it seemed cool.

Shins Fan: That movie was right, New Slang like changes your life. All of The Shins songs their songs are so good.

Me: Whats so life changing? Do you even understand the lyrics?

Shins Fan, singing to the song: "New slang when you notice the stripes..."
