Hi storymilo,
I especially enjoyed The Shins' "Kissing the Lipless." I like their use of both acoustic and electric guitar, and I loved the feeling when the electric guitar first comes in with jolts of raw excitement, like zaps of electricity. Their vocals are sweet and warm, and I feel the way they sing gives the song, a bell-like tone, a ringing quality. Finally, I liked the contrast between the calmer, meandering parts of the tune and the higher vocal lines. I'd never heard of the Shins, so it is fun to listen to them. I hadn't heard of the Shaggs, either! That's an interesting true story about them!
