The Shins Live Webcast Tonight

I watched the Shins' exclusive NPR webcast last week, a couple days after it was aired live. I thought their new tunes translated well to the live setting, better than some of their more tuned-down songs like "New Slang." Tonight, you can watch the Shins play live from SXSW festival at 5:45 p.m. ET on Google's "Live from SXSW" page. This time, you don't have to have an iPad! (That's a shot at you, NPRR ...)

One of the best songs I've heard in a while. Can't wait for March 20.

The Shins Live Webcast Tonight

If you have an iPad, download NPR's free iPad app and tune in at 10 p.m. ET tonight to hear The Shins debut songs off their new album, Port of Morrow.

If you don't have an iPad -- well then, fu@* you ... Nah. They'll rebroadcast it tomorrow and have it in the archives to enjoy forever and ever.

I, for one, do not have an iPad; however, I will still try, unsuccessfully, to watch it on my iPhone.
