awesome! I was going to catch this last night but a little too late for me. Great album, awesome band. Good quality too
fantastic performance!
Album of the year - superb
Dude nooo way, her vocal harmonies are one of my favorites parts about this song.
Damn, these guys are awesome, long live The Shins!!!
The Paul Schaeffer band is rocking really sweetly!
Amazing song from an amazing band.
The Shins are great. Lovely song.
Dedicated to you......
Thanks for loving me the way you do!
Lucky me!!
awesome live
a great song
strange responce jakenjoi. I am
a professional musician and these
guys are tight. We need more great
live performing bands that don't
lip-sync. great video..Thanks
for sure
That's a big yum song
Nice to see Paul Shaffer rocking out on keys here with the rest of the band!
The Fruit Bats, I might add, are a great band for people who like the Shins and are looking for new music. Spelled in Bones is one of the awesomest albums of all time.
James Mercer is pitch perfect as always...pure brilliance
I've been trying to find that out for a while.
im seeing them in 2 weeks!!
melhor performance no late show do ano.
GOOD STUFF
you are correct sir
the shins are the greatest band ever spawned ever
Good Song -
yeah, i know mercer is from NM. but the band found their groove here. we own them now! ;)
Super
240p we meet again...
if by crap you mean AWESOME
Yeah, nice spot :)
Anita from Viva Voce is hot! Great song.
almost certain that's a Guild S-100, you can tell by the headstock. The body is an SG copy.
Does James Mercer really hit a high C in this song?? I knew he had some kind of range, but that's almost unheard of in indie music these days.
I'm falling in love with Anita!!
@MegaCamper1 It's a 1960 Les Paul Double Cutaway.
Favorite part of this is Eric Johnson from Fruit Bats casually playing background guitar.
I love the singing in this version compared to the record one. Much more character.
@lebarosky: i know what you mean. i think people hang their sound on certain songs, like for example the song "weird devide" off oh inverted world sounds a lot like beach boys. but things songs has more of an REM folksy feeling to it. the most important thing is that mercers voice and songwriting skills makes for a very particular sound that only reminds us of the shins. id like to hear a new album from that camp soon.
His delivery is just too unique to be done on command. It was still a very nice video, and I love the song, though.
I'm on ancient RUclips again
Peter's tie Peter's tie!!
fond of y-o-u
Mercer looks so young here
The Shins and Beirut started in Albuquerque and relocated as soon as they had the money
another great invention of portland, oregon. let's see microbreweries, light rail, medicinal weed, the shins (among many others)...yes, truly, a great place to live.
they're from albuquerque
The Shins are awesome, I'm kind of a poser since I just discovered them a couple months ago. (I was like, 7 when they were Flake Music).
@zkhandwala Are you talking about the C5 note, because that should be pretty reachable for someone like James Mercer, because his range sounds to me like a tenor (I may be wrong)?
Makes Paul Mcartney sit up and blink. WOW
Mercer has said in interviews that he is influenced largely by New Wave bands, specifically Echo & The Bunnymen.
I've never seen James Mercer and Kevin Spacey in the same room. #suspicious
@Daarko15 true.
totally agree with you, from what I can tell her voice sounds amazing. who is she??
Shes not, squiremarr is right. Viva Voce is a two person band that toured with The Shins after "Wicing the Night Away" was released. Very talented group, worth checking out.
As far as I'm concerned The Shins can do no wrong..
where are they from? i really like em.
Peters tie peters tie!!
I Love these people to death.
Didn't know Sheldon was the lead singer of The Shins.
yah
Does he rimind anyone else of David Byrne (talking heads)
Is that Jimmy Fallon on lead guitar?
Is the video of them performing this song on Conan O'Brien still up? I liked that one better for some reason... this one is still good though.
what kind of guitar is james mercer playing?
@lebarosky the only influence by beach boys is about the bass player, he looks like brian wilson!! xDD
I heard the lead singer has a crush on his daughter's best friend
looks a lot like ben gibbard playing acoustic off to the side.
@ryanfoley123
But the Shins are still fucking awesome. :P
Besides, Pet Sounds is an unfair comparison for just about any band.
Chris Kattan? lol, Yeah it does
JAMES MERCER IS REALLY COOL, ALSO HOT
Is that Neko Case? Because she doesn't seem to know the words.
People keep saying that they are influenced by power pop/Beach Boys. Yeah, that's like saying Mozart was influenced by Hayden. This group is brilliant. They sound "like" nobody I've ever heard before. Their lyrics are unique and mesh with their melodic themes in a quirky way that is entirely fresh. Ok I'm done.
Ironically not only was this great band actually influenced by the Beach Boys and many others, but Mozart was actually influenced by Haydn (correct spelling). So your comment stands, but not in the way you think! That doesn't mean these guys are bad etc. I don't hear them 'ripping off' any tunes (at least I haven't yet), but they get some melodic ideas, some sonic / mixing ideas here and there from various bands, like other bands do. I do also think they have a fresh sound.
Every band ever ripped of Pavement.
If you can send me a link to Pavement song with an actual MELODY I might believe you.
I listened to an entire Pavement album and then half of another one without hearing much actual music.
I would have listened to all their albums but gave up.
Maybe their new stuff is better, but would likely post-date the Shins.
Jeez Dave get some hand sanitizer and just shake their damn hands.
she was a awesome voice, but why is she there? and by that i mean how does she know james mercer?
marty looks like jimmy fallon in the beginning of the song.
Don't get down on the Beach Boys. The Shins haven't ever done anything as good as Pet Sounds.
That is ben. portland's finest in nyc. now only if they would PLAY in portland more than one night. yah-yah, i know. buy me a ticket for an airplane.
I think that is ben gibbard, they cover each others stuff live and stuff, so not a streatch really.
I'll agree with you that MTV is pretty much a load of commercial shit. Still though, there are some genuine bands that make their way onto it, and can you really blame them for doing so? As long as it doesn't ruin the music (and for me it hasn't) I have no problems with that.
I guess I just don't understand the level to which you think they're awesome. It's clearly somewhere between "gods on earth" and "made of elements not listed in the periodic table"
correct me if I'm wrong
@ohiocaps52 Anita Robinson
This song is great, Phantom Limb and Australia too. But i think the new album is not as great as the first two..
lol "rock and roll band"
Is it me or does the chick COMPLETELY kill it? James Mercer can sing without her just fine...
If by 'kill it' you mean nail the harmony parts, then yes, she does nail the harmony parts and it's really nice!
I believe they kicked out the drummer because he didn't look like anyone famous.
These people actually have to earn money too. So they're on TV/radio, boohoo. How does this make them sellouts? Just listen to the music and lyrics, and it's obvious The Shins are very much a genuine band.
Boring? Are you kidding? Go listen to the studio version of this song. It is brilliant. Lyrics that are actually intelligent. Or there's Fallout Boy and the rest of the crappy commercialized radio muck. How 'bout Paul on the keys?
Sorry, I love the shins, but look at Wilco. Shows give your band money. And Wilco sells out every show in about an hours time. They are probably more successful than ever since they stopped making music videos and crap like that.
Don't get me wrong I love the shins, just saying its possible to make money w/out tv. MTV kills music, havn't watched it in about 2 years and I couldn't be happier.
great band great songwriters but lousy performing live.
why are all of the successful portland bands so boring? i guess i'll understand this music when i'm 40.
Just tune out the lyrics and listen to the melody.
Actually, I think the lyrics are pretty great, but if you don't, listen to the rest of it.
