A tip of the hat to you -- that's what I call a love-of-music story.  Nice.


The Sam Goody's near me had boxes woth 45s for the Billboard top 40.   Once during a lunch breack when I was an intern many years ago, I had pulled a number of songs I waned and realized (at $0.99 each), I couldn't really afford all of my selections.

First CD I bought based on RP listens, back in 2007. (I'm old).

This comes after The Fear by Los Lobos, a cover of a Shins song. Well played William! Love RP!

Clearly I've put this (buying this CD) off too long - considering I LOVE "Sea Legs" and seem to like several other tracks from this album - how does one buy music nowadays?  Is it only MP3s, or can I buy an actual disc still? 

I remember when I was a paperboy, each pair of new subscriptions I signed up yielded me a free cassette tape (3 new subs for a CD.)  I didn't have a CD player yet; that was courtesy of my 486dx with 4 MEGAbytes of RAM and Windows, and a new fangled CD ROM Drive.  Anyways, I would bust my ass trying to talk folks into a subscription of the Seattle Times (geez...this ENTIRE story is obsolete!) and once I got 2 new customers I would fill out a form, mail it off somewhere, wait a week or two, get the certificate and take it to the mall where I'd find a Sam Goody store and pick out my new album.  I remember specifically wanting the new "MC" song (which was MC Hammer "Can't Touch This) but I ended up with Young MC's 1989 release "Stone Cold Rhymin'" - thankfully it only took a decade or so to get out of the RAP/Hip-Hop only phase ;-)

All that to say that times and tastes change.  Bill and Rebecca - THANK YOU for helping me out in finding new music to listen to and not have to listen to crappy FM radio anymore!

Young MC rocked - MC Hammer sucked

The Shins, and in particular their lyrics, can be a bit heavy sometimes. A Comet Appears is heavier still than this track. But the lyrics also feel real and gritty, and sometimes there's a place for that. When I'm in the 'right' mood, I find these tracks really cathartic to listen to.

This is not new.  Listen to old Ted Hawkins.... the guy sang the most heartbreaking songs lyrically, but there wasn't a minor chord in any of his songs.  Literally.

I love this song and this album, but given Bill & Rebecca's thrashing of their newest album I admit to feeling ennui that The Shins' best days are beyond them.  Hopefully it's just a bump in the road.

The Shins do seem to have borrowed from Phil Spector. {#Naughty}  But I forgive them.

 
Yes, a pretty obvious nod/homage to Spector and Greenwich using that opening chord with the suspended fourth; it's not like they're trying to deceive anyone. Just about anyone who knows anything about popular music knows "And Then He Kissed Me"; I'm not sure why people seem to feel it necessary to link to that song.  Anyhow, the rest of this song is entirely different.  Suspended fourth chords are used in the intros to thousands of songs.

Interesting comment.  I cannot think of anything from the 1960s and 1950s that makes think of the Shins.  But then perhaps you were in college in the 1940s?  

Regardless.  Nice pop music.
