So, it'''s looking more and more like the recent Shins update on their album'''s progress wasn'''t just another bullshit, phantom deadline. The band has really upped the ante this time, and went so far as to announce an official release date. January 23 2007 is the day that kids in need of life-changing everywhere can pick up a copy of Wincing the Night Away. Here'''s what the guys had to say on their
official website:
''"Trust us if we had our way it would be out next week, but "The Man" has seen fit to do otherwise. The good folks at Sub Pop have scheduled this like a finely tuned machine, and we have all the confidence in the world that January is the magic month for a reason. We are excited.''"
Sure guys, blame it on ''"The Man.''" I'''m sure last year they were pleading ''"Hold back a bit. We DON'''T want to cash in on this whole Garden State thing.''"
