YouTube Does The Shins

Every week we'll bring you videos from the land of YouTube that pertain to a specific artist.  They'll make you laugh, they'll make you cry but most of all they'll make you question the poor choices of others.

We'll start with a video from JohnnieTV.  Apparently the Shins sound like "office music" to him...by the look of him we can be pretty sure he's not referring to the dentist's office. ouch!

Next we have a cover of "New Slang' from justinregatta. While he might look like Everlast he sounds more like Cat Stevens.  Of all the covers of this song we saw (and we saw WAY too many) this was one of the best. Nice one!

This is why you should be required by law to only use your video camera for the good of mankind. Why man? Why?!

And finally the rhythmically challenged youth of America!  My young 311 listening to friend, there’s quite a difference between “playing drums along" to a song as opposed to playing drums over a song.  And in answer to your question: Yeah, it's weird.

So that's what YouTube thinks of The Shins.  If you want the real thing, here you go:
