I'd say Mr. Neyer hit a home run with that analysis. Saw Sloan recently
in San Francisco and the show was really great. it's obvious these guys
have fun doing what they do.
Also saw the Austin City Limits with the Shins and Flaming Lips. The
Lips were really odd and entertaining, while the Shins, even with really
good songs, were looking like they'd rather be anywhere but on stage
that night. The show was from '04, so maybe they've picked it up as
their stardom has grown.
