The Shins - Oh, Inverted World (@subpop) "It’s also a snowglobe in that it’s complete and completely self-contained, existing in its own little world. This is part of what that PopMatters review was complaining about but, 22 years later, it feels almost startling and revolutionary. In a time where the sky is falling, the world is burning and falling down around us, artists face a pressure to comment on the nearly endless ills we’re facing. A short, sharp, catchy album jammed to the rafters with great songs, addictive melodies, tasty performances and interesting production is beyond refreshing to the point of being a revelation. It feels even more important, and more relevant, today than when it first came out." I got to write about one of my favourite records, The Shines - Oh, Inverted World, for Spectrum Culture's new series on the James Mercer discography. Had such a good time endlessly revisiting this record. Am honoured and humbled to get a chance to pen a few words, including a bit about The Shins' first EP, Nature Bears A Vacuum.

I wish to submit an edited version of 22 and replace buried treasure with where would you hide your horcrux? also...99

22(ed). Where would you hide your horcrux if you had one?

Well, all hypothetically, of course, I would hide my horcrux in space because my horcrux would be the USS Enterprise-D or maybe the Starship UK or maybe the battlestar Galactica thank you and good day.

99. Do you miss anyone right now?

Hell yes, I miss my friend Delaina! I also miss my dogs and my best friends from high school Katie and Megan. And I guess I miss my family too. But I’m going home in a week, so that won’t be a problem much longer :)
