Stephen Hammill and Rommie Johnson - Couch Potatoes

The Shins


Here’s another new CD release we’ve been looking forward to: “Wincing the Night Away” by The Shins. You might remember The Shins as Natalie Portman’s favorite band in the movie “Garden State.” Remember when Zac Braff meets her in the doctor’s waiting room and she gives him her headphones and says, “You gotta hear this one song—it’ll change your life, I swear”? That was The Shins.

Their new CD officially comes out next Tuesday, but a glitch on iTunes allowed a bunch of lucky folks (possibly including ourselves) to download it early. If you like your guitar-pop with soaring melodies and impossibly sharp hooks, every track here is worth 99 cents and then some. For a taste, you can download a track below.

Who are the Couch Potatoes?
  • Master Sergeant in 'Rainbow Six: Vegas'STEPHEN HAMMILL is a reporter at The Tampa Tribune who covers north Tampa and whose car smells uncannily like diapers. He's the one who shot Marcello.
  • Master Sergeant in 'Rainbow Six: Vegas'ROMMIE JOHNSON is a standard carbon-based lifeform who edits and writes for the Tribune's Friday Extra magazine as an occasional diversion from the maelstrom of doubt that boils within.


  • And, yes, they get paid for this. Which is a good thing, because their parents are raising the rent.
