The Shins

It's cool that people were introduced to the Shins via Garden State...

However, the Oh Inverted World album came out in 2001.
Chutes Too Narrow came out in 2003.
Garden State came out in 2004, almost three years after The Shins first record.


The point? As many of you know, corporate radio forces a pre-planned playlist on you that does not support up and coming new bands such as The Shins. If you would have gone outside the box you would have 'discovered' this local band three years earlier than Natalie Portman. Many of you did, I'm sure. Good for you.

The preceeding messaged was sponsored by music geek elitist who thinks he knows who you should really listen to on your IPOD.

The Shins new album is awesome by the way.
