The Shuns

Both shit and the runs. When you take a crap that is too fluid to be a shit, yet too solid to be the runs.

the shins

A completely kick ass band who isn't afraid to do so. The best band you've never heard of.

"What a fucking good band The Shins are."

the shins

A really good, not well-known indie band. Also, the only band I have ever known to feature communist penguins in their music videos.

'Tis true you know. Watch the video for "So Says I".


Really though, The Shins are good.

The Shins

A great Indie pop band that expertly crafts wonderful pop songs with a slightly wistful, melacholy undertone. Their 2001 release Oh, Inverted World quickly became a favorite among fans of Indie pop fans, and their second release, Chutes Too Narrow, was also recieved among critics and fans alike.

The Shins are the best band you've never heard.

The Shins

A truly original and forever great alternative/indie band. Albums include Oh, Inverted World, Chutes Too Narrow, and Wincing the Night Away. I suggest listening to "Australia" for starters. Their music is also featured in Garden State, which is a good movie but seriously people, you'd have no idea about The Shins if it wasn't for Zach Braff.

Emily: I love the Shins. Sleeping lessons is such a good song. Yanno?
Derek: Who? WHAT?
Emily: Never mind.
Derek: Oh wait, Sleeping Lessons! That Zune commercial!
Emily: Oh... my God.
Derek: Aren't they in Garden State, too? That movie with Scrubs guy?
The process of Emily's brain imploding on itself thus ensues.
