"Saint Simon" - The Shins

Band: The Shins
Album: Chutes Too Narrow
Released:  October 21, 2003
Home Town: Albuquerque, New Mexico
Why is it on here?:  
Does the song sound good?
Are you clueless as to what the lyrics are talking about?
Does the video make no sense whatsoever?

If you answered yes to these three questions, chances are you are listening to The Shins.  All kidding aside though, these guys are a great band who continue to put out great records while never adapting a cookie cutter mentality.  If Natalie Portman says they'll change your life, I think you should give them a listen.
