Les Shins
Well I have to say that the Shins put on a stellar show last night. I was pretty impressed. They played at the Spectrum, my new second favorite place to see a show. The crowd was weird and didnt really move much but nonetheless, gave it their all with each successive post song applause. An ecclectic mix of people, ages, styles too. It kept amazing me how the masses seemed bored, or was it just awkward, and then they went all nuts at the end of their favorite songs. The band seemed genuinly contented by the cheers they got before their generous three song encore. The Shins for their part sounded awesome. Such talented fellas, they swaped instruments several times and their tri-chorused vocals sounded sharp.
Its now 4:40 and I have for about an hour now been dizzy free so I think that is a testament to how much I enjoyed the show. I remember the days when I liked to go to shows stone cold sober to not miss anything. How much did I actually miss by doing that.
If a logo appears somewhere here its because I am trying to get the hang of uploading pictures. It should be the potential logo for a longboard skate crew in the maritimes. The Wolf Pack is gettn' 'er done.

hip hip horray... i like pictures. i like the wolf pack logo. actually...i really like wolves. i purchased a belt at my bother-in-law's safety boot store once... he thought i was crazy when i walked up to his counter with a brown leather belt with engraved wolves running around the circumference.
i'm not good with my new music... when i first read your posting i was getting the shins mixed up with the strokes... now i'm not sure of anything. glad you had a good time and there was a lot of rocking and rolling.

Yeah, thanks for letting me know about the picture possibilities. The wolf belt sounds awesome. The wolf pack would look cool if they shredded the streets with wolf belts.
Okay it pretty imperative that you pick up a Shins album. Shoots too Narrow or Oh, Inverted World are their two album names. They are very different than the Strokes and although I like the Strokes quite a bit I think that The Shins are way more talented.
