What is shinning?

An amazing indie band. Best band of all time. A great band that became too popular because of Garden State! They currently live in Portland. Albums include "Oh, Inverted World" and "Chutes Too Narrow." (Both are great!)

Me: I love The Shins!
Random 1: Who are they?
Random 2: Oh, I heard them on Garden State!
Me: Fuck.

Shinning - what is it?

A truly original and forever great alternative/indie band. Albums include Oh, Inverted World, Chutes Too Narrow, and Wincing the Night Away. I suggest listening to "Australia" for starters. Their music is also featured in Garden State, which is a good movie but seriously people, you'd have no idea about The Shins if it wasn't for Zach Braff.

Emily: I love the Shins. Sleeping lessons is such a good song. Yanno?
Derek: Who? WHAT?
Emily: Never mind.
Derek: Oh wait, Sleeping Lessons! That Zune commercial!
Emily: Oh... my God.
Derek: Aren't they in Garden State, too? That movie with Scrubs guy?
The process of Emily's brain imploding on itself thus ensues.

The Shins are the best band you've never heard.

Shinning - definition

A really good, not well-known indie band. Also, the only band I have ever known to feature communist penguins in their music videos.

'Tis true you know. Watch the video for "So Says I".


Really though, The Shins are good.
