紐澤西。

去年最喜歡的專輯之一，The Shins的 Oh, Inverted World（請爬舊文）。當初在某地下室音樂館發現的至寶，後來被電影Garden State選用而備受矚目。The Shins的"New Slang"第三版MV。

下面這一版中，據說他們模仿了許多經典唱片封面。

照例要看現場版，今年不久前5月21日Live at All Tomorrow's Parties festival in Camber Sands。

很玄的一首歌，從第一個音符開始流洩，人就好像被吸進去了似的。

Gold teeth and a curse for this town were all in my mouth.
Only, i don't know how they got out, dear.
Turn me back into the pet that i was when we met.
I was happier then with no mind-set.

And if you'd 'a took to me like
A gull takes to the wind.
Well, i'd 'a jumped from my tree
And i'd a danced like the king of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.

New slang when you notice the stripes, the dirt in your fries.
Hope it's right when you die, old and bony.
Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall,
Never should have called
But my head's to the wall and i'm lonely.

And if you'd 'a took to me like
A gull takes to the wind.
Well, i'd 'a jumped from my tree
And i'd a danced like the kind of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.

God speed all the bakers at dawn may they all cut their thumbs,
And bleed into their buns 'till they melt away.

I'm looking in on the good life i might be doomed never to find.
Without a trust or flaming fields am i too dumb to refine?
And if you'd 'a took to me like
Well i'd a danced like the queen of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.
