 [ "The Shins" ]

1: A truly original and forever great alternative/indie band. Albums include Oh, Inverted World, Chutes Too Narrow, and Wincing the Night Away. I suggest listening to "Australia" for starters. Their music is also featured in Garden State, which is a good movie but seriously people, you'd have no idea about The Shins if it wasn't for Zach Braff.

  * e.g.,  ... Emily: I love the Shins. Sleeping lessons is such a good song. Yanno?
