This is some lovely s**t. No, really. I'm not usually big on the mellow melodic stuff, but these guys really work me.
The Portland scene is pretty darned outstanding.

Can someone who in more familiar tell me what this guy Danger Mouse brings to the mix that make it different from the Shins?
I don't know about that since I've never heard of The Shins until I started listening to RP a few months ago, but I just bought this CD and the Broken Bells CD and they are quite different but equally great! |

Just like Simon and Garfunkel's "Bookends" this is beautiful and way too short. |

Like you, it does this for me. It makes me stop in my tracks and just listen, and I know... I know a perfect song when I hear it. Rare, and true. |

Not sure there's anything by The Shins that I don't love.

B U T Full!
I've seen the Shins live at Lowlands 2007 and was so happy to have been introduced to them by Radio Paradise. Sang all the songs, moved all the moves, jumped all the jumps! In dutch I would say Happy de Peppy!
Then there's also this more moving song on the album. The singer is a word artist, it's not easy to comprehend at first but through melody you catch on quickly. And difficult the melody is too! Super impressed by the creativity on this album!
Peace peeps

My eyes want to well up and I get a lump in my throat.
Music that can tap into your emotions that deeply is doing something right. If you use Firefox with the NoScript extension, try disabling that. I had a similar problem a while back with multiple copies of comments being posted (or empty posts before and after the one I submitted). I also was unable to rate songs. Disabling NoScript when I post on RP stopped it from happening. Sorry about your Dad, btw. |

"But the lonely are such delicate things,
The wind from a wasp could blow them,
Into the sea,
With stones on their feet,
Lost to the light and the loving we need..."
I was feeling a little forlorn and then this. My wife is at work late and the night is so long. Ahhhhhh
A little sadness to finish the day. Bittersweet. I think I need to up my meds.

Well, you could always delete and/or edit them: I've done that more than once... Ditto! |
