I caught The Shins on Austin City Limits while flipping through the hi-definition channels the other day and was so amazed by the picture that I took a bunch of pictures. My favorites were the ones like this one that caught part of two images during a cross-fade. I love The Shins and their perfect songs sounded impeccible. I was a bit dissapointed with James Mercer’s stage presence, though. He almost never wavered from a furrowed brow, singing out of the side of his mouth. But he writes amazing songs with incredible range and pulled off all the high notes with only a bit of straining.
