Song of the Day

Song: "Phantom Limb"
Artist: The Shins
Album: Wincing the Night Away (2007)

Sometimes you just want to hear a pop song. Nothing more, nothing less...just a good pop song. That is especially true when it is near 70 degrees for the first time in months and you are enjoying a drive in the country. I've gotta say, I had written this album off for the longest time last year. But when I finally gave in and gave it a spin, I was pleasantly surprised. For me, the charm that The Shins possess is that they won't, in fact, "change your life" as Natalie Portman suggested (cutely suggested). As you might expect from them, "Phantom Limb" is a great pop song.
