my favorite shins song by FAR is sleeping lessons. i went through a period where i had that song on repeat for daysss. i had the pleasure of seeing the broken bells at their first live show in LA, and whoever wins these tickets is in for a treat. my fave song of their new stuff is a ghost inside. i live in southern california, so unless the contest includes a plane ticket to NY, i wouldn’t be able to go. but i would love to win the poster/LP!
