The Shins showed up and regaled Saturday night on Austin City Limits. Check out their fine six-song set below featuring mostly new and a couple old songs.  The ghosted harmony vocals of Jessica Dobson (not to mention her guitar-playing) and uber-producer Richard Swift are particularly sweet (especially on It’s Only Life).  As a bonus while we approach Halloween, below their main set check out the band performing their ole “chestnut” Caring is Creepy.  If desired you can also continue to additional Dr. Dog set on ACL (the “spontaneous” group calisthenics lose us every time, but many like this band).  If you have trouble viewing either video below, go HERE to watch the entire Austin City Limits episode and the extra.
