A boring, yet strangely mesmerizing video for the Shins’ “New Slang.” Just a girl on a porch, staring into the camera and lip-syncing the song. The way she breaks up laughing at the end just makes you fall in love. (Trivia: That’s Kim Baxter of the All-Star Summer Fun Band.) I like it much better than the other (official?) video for the song.
And it’s about damned time the Shins record another album. Their last one was gorgeous.

Man, you are so right. The Shins are great. I saw them open for Modest Mouse a few years ago and didn’t appreciate them then, but if they ever come back, I’m there.
Yeah, they’re great. When James Mercer performed at the Knitting Factory in February he did a version of “New Slang” with Sam Beam from Iron & Wine. It knocked my socks off.
Lions and tigers and bears.If you don’t fall horrible in love with her right then,
there is something wrong with you.
