		By 1999, Flake Music essentially disbanded and Langford also joined the Shins.
		With Mercer as the Shins'primary songwriter, the group developed a more focused, crafted sound than Flake Music's charming, if somewhat rambling, collaboratory style.
		A classic guitar pop group almost nine years in the making, Albuquerque, NM's the Shins began in 1997 as the side project of singer/songwriter and guitarist James Mercer's primary band Flake.

	The Shins: Chutes Too Narrow (2003): Reviews
		Chutes Too Narrow proves the Shins have more on their minds than singing the perfect harmony or writing the ultimate couplet, and it's that deeper sense of introspection that makes it a keeper.
		Despite the weak finish, Chutes Too Narrow is still a fantastic next step for the Shins, building on the wildly successful formula of Oh, Inverted World, while still managing to push their sound in new directions.
		Chutes Too Narrow's breezy subtlety is less accessible than the Shins' debut, but that doesn't mean the album lacks great songs.

	Grilled Cheese
		With their second album, The Shins improve upon the style they introduced with "Oh, Inverted World." But there is no argument: "Chutes Too Narrow", with the lyrical genius of James Mercer, has given The Shins the perfect sophomore album to an excellent, loved by all debut.
		The Shins combine beautiful indie pop music with lyrics such as, "Since then it's been a book you read in reverse/So you understand less as the pages turn" that blend wonderously.

	cool hand bak: A Pair Of Brunettes
		The first time was in Portland at the dreaded Crystal Ballroom on May 15, where they were opening for The Shins.
		Don't get me wrong, I also quite enjoy The Shins, but I wouldn't have made it to this show if it weren't for The Brunettes opening.
		Shows, that is. The Brunettes is the name of my latest flame, and over the course of the last two months I've been fortunate enough to see this young New Zealand band twice.

	New Infoceptor Forums -> TROLLS AND GNOMES!!!!
		And as for Gnomes, you might want to put the repelant on your shins as well, being hit in the shins hurts like hell, and if they whack you with a club in that part of the leg, and you didnt put the repelant on, dont come crying to me.
		Trolls are cool and all but i dont like the jungle trolls as much as the forest trolls.
		I'm wondering whatever happened to the Forest Trolls (the ones from war2), since according to Blizzard, those were actually the Headhunters in war3...

	The Shins: Oh, Inverted World - PopMatters Music Review
		In keeping with the Chills comparison, the first single from Oh, Inverted World, "New Slang", is definitely the Shins' "Pink Frost": a moody, ethereal number that nevertheless will linger in the listener's head long after it has ceased playing.
		The Shins' debut album, Oh, Inverted World, however, does impress.
		Let's imagine, for argument's sake, that the entire world of guitar rock is the letters A through Z. Indie rock, just a fraction of this spectrum, could be represented by the letters A to D (and that's being generous).

	Erythema Nodosum: Itching and Noninfectious Rashes: Merck Manual Home Edition
		Erythema nodosum nodules usually appear on the shins and resemble raised bumps and bruises that gradually change from pink to bluish brown.
		Erythema nodosum is an inflammatory disorder that produces tender red bumps (nodules) under the skin, most often over the shins but occasionally on the arms and other areas.
		Quite often, erythema nodosum is a symptom of some other disease or of sensitivity to a drug.

	Sometimes Snarkiness Is Preferable to Sincerity - New York Times
		Compared with the ostentatious sincerity of The Believer's music issue, a site like Shins probably seems like an exercise in bad faith, a place where writers are pilloried for daring to be enthusiastic.
		But while Shins provides plenty of cheap laughs, it also hints at the prejudices that usually go unexamined in music writing, assumptions about what smart or genuine or good or life-saving music should sound like, and about who should be making it.
		Roderick claims that "indie-rock culture is the real ghetto of people who have convinced themselves that they're too sensitive to be yelled at or to yell." The interviewer responds with what might be The Believer's unofficial credo: "When it's genuine, though, it's different."

		The Shins prove themselves equal to the task of trumping their exquisite 2001 debut, Oh, Inverted World, with the scaled back but just as exhilarating Chutes Too Narrow.
		Still taking inspiration from '60s minor deities like The Move and The Zombies, The Shins work in some '80s props in Chutes.
		Welcome Interstate Managers is the band's second quasi-concept album in a row and an incredible example of the power of Pop/Rock.

	Campus Concern - Depression and Bipolar Disorder in College
		This is the reason that MIT never told the Shins that Elizabeth was so ill. That her friends were afraid for her, that she was on antidepressants.
		The Shins in turn, are bringing a $27 million wrongful death suit against the school, contending that if they were told, they could have done something to prevent their daughter’s death.
		Popular and successful, her dorm room was even something of a gathering place for other students.

	MIT Officials Ponder Another Death
		The Shins also contend their daughter was prescribed a new anti-depressant by a school doctor without their knowledge three weeks before she died, and that the drug made their daughter's condition worse.
		In the days before the April 10 fire, Shin inflicted cuts on her arm and was heard screaming suicide threats -- yet a school psychiatrist at least twice declined to hospitalize her, and no one from the school called the Shins to say their daughter was in trouble.
		Shin played the part of the happy super-achiever too well, said friends who asked their names be withheld.

		There is a character, Mayor Shinn, who kind of runs the fate of Harold Hill forming his band," says Mercer, singer/songwriter/guitarist for The Shins, "I also just liked the way it sounded.
		The Shins are his favorite band." The soundtrack has been on the Billboard charts for more than thirty weeks.
		Mercer soon learned to play the piano, picked up a guitar at 17, and ten years later formed a ruckus-y, punk-inspired pop band, Flake.

		And since Mercer is the chief singer and songwriter for the Shins, it's not surprising that Chutes Too Narrow displays the same attitude.
		Last fall, after touring with his band, the Shins, James Mercer returned to a burglarized home in Northeast Portland.
		But where the debut masked Mercer's songwriting and vocals with reverb and delay effects, the new album puts the singer's talents out front and on display.

	Hyperthyroidism and Graves' Disease
		Pretibial myxedema usually becomes evident when raised lesions begin to appear on the skin that covers the front surfaces of the shins.
		In most cases of pretibial myxedema, continued growth of lesions leads to widespread thickening of the skin that covers the front surfaces of the shins.
		The word “pretibial” refers to the fact that this thickening usually involves the skin that covers the front of the tibia bone in the lower leg.

	Blogcritics.org: Sundance Channel's Sonic Cinema
		Perhaps the coolest thing the band has done, however, is the video for "New Slang." Directed by Lance Bangs, it follows the members of The Shins through a surreal world where every scene looks like the cover of some seminal indie-rock and punk album from the '80s and '90s.
		Essentially what the Shins did "to pay homage" (their words) to their roots, was to recreate album covers of various legendary indie rock and punk bands ranging from The Minutemen to Slint.
		That's them on a rooftop looking quite scruffy a la The Replacements' Let It Be, driving a VW Bug down the highway, viewed from the back seat, as on The Minutemen's Double Nickels on the Dime, wandering amongst the wreckage like Husker Du on Zen Arcade, and many more.

	The Mac Weekly:A New Thing From the Northwest: Sub Pop’s Rogue Wave
		Rogue Wave is said to be a lot like their label and tour mates The Shins, and Out of the Shadow does sound derivative of The Shins’ debut, Oh, Inverted World (Sub Pop, 2001).
		I had never heard of the band Rogue Wave until I received their CD in my SPO.
		Out of the Shadow is their debut album, which was just recently re-released by Sub Pop Records this year.

	Rogue Wave - Out of the Shadow
		(I even ran into him at the Bowery Ballroom this summer where Rogue Wave was opening for A.C. Newman.) The best comparison is the Shins’ “Oh, Inverted World” and while this record may not be that good, it still has a wonderfully-crafted feel.
		Live, the band also recalls the Shins, turning up the volume and making everything a little sloppier.
		The project of Zach Schwartz (neé Rogue), the band is an update of 1960s pop – clean, breezy guitars and lots of back-up vocals that can bring in harmonicas, slightly pained lyrics and country influences.

	CD Reviews - Album Reviews, Interviews, Music News, cd reviews & More)
		Rogue (guitar, vocals) — together with Pat Spurgeon (drums, samples), Sonya Westcott (bass), and Gram LeBron (guitar, synthesizer) — masterminds Rogue Wave, a band that falls somewhere between Death Cab for Cutie (without the despondency), Elliott Smith (particularly in Figure 8), Simon and Garfunkel, and the Shins.
		Much like the Shins, expect Rogue Wave to quickly emerge as one of the definitive ambassadors of their genre.
		While “Every Moment” demonstrates Rogue Wave’s completeness as a band, many other songs hint at Zach Rogue’s singer/songwriter past, as well as his role of band leader and primary songwriter.

	Cotton Hill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He is Hank Hill's father and a World War II hero who had his shins "blowed off by a Japanman's machine gun" in combat, making him a foot shorter than his fellow family members and causing a characteristic waddle (according to Hank, Cotton was 6'4" (1.93 m) with his shins, 5'0" (1.52) without).
		If Cotton's story is to be believed, he was born around 1927, making him about 70 in the first season of the show.
		Cotton Lyndal Hill (voiced by Toby Huss) is a fictional character in the animated series King of the Hill.

	BBC NEWS England Gloucestershire Old shin sport alive and kicking
		Although not as aggressive as earlier versions, where players were said to have hardened their shins using hammers in over-zealous preparation for the main event, the competition remains the highlight of the Cotswold "Olimpick" games.
		Players, wearing the traditional white smocks of shepherds, grasp each other by the shoulders and attempt to land well-timed blows to their opponent's shins.
		Then, growing popularity of the games, and associated rowdiness and thuggery - no doubt practised wholeheartedly in the shin kicking ring - eventually led to the games being outlawed in the 1850s.

		I don't even think the band has a copy of this show so if any kind Portland/Eugene tapers out there do, I'd love a copy and would be more than happy to pass it along to the boys.
		This was my first Zen show and the mushrooms I took are calling for me to hear it again.
