We know there is more to life than the music of the Bunnymen. Talk about those other bands here.

Shins on SNL

First song was f*cking phenomenal.

I never heard it before. I guess there's a new album.

Always liked The Shins and the new song was to quote f*cking phenomenal, bodes well for Port of Morrow.

Yes I agree, new song is spectacular. They've been playing it a while on Sirius.

I see the singer is going for the Phil Collins look.

Song does sound good, but can they match the first two albums?

Weird I grew up thinking "f*cking phenomenal" meant something was halfway decent. Guess I've had it wrong all these years.
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

Even bigger fucking news....no one does that anymore.

The best skit was the one where Jonah Hill played a scientist who taught a monkey to speak, and all it blabbed about during a press conference was how the scientist made the monkey have sex with him.

I was going to say sarcastically that this is a nice productive 6th grade accusation to make but then I forgot this was VT. Should we go ahead and call them fags?

That's the one. I find the video to be distracting. Here's the SNL performance:

You know what kind of hair cut he asks for when he goes to the barber shop.

I think he says, "Make me look like Kevin Spacey and Phil Collins had a baby."
