I've never heard of "jouncy" either (a pretty cool word I'll have to add in converstation), but I'll take the Long Winters over the Shins. Just compare the latest releases from each, no contest Putting The Days To Bed was awesome. Too bad I couldn't make it out to the show.

Well ... con·ceit·ed (kən-sē'tĭd) pronunciation adj. Holding or characterized by an unduly high opinion of oneself; vain. To quote a great man, I do not think that word means what you think it means. To wit, I answered snark with snark, not conceit. Okay, obviously you've spied on my morning's ablutions and confused that with vanity, but I'm not sure how it really has anything to do with the verbal equation above.

Wow, tankboy, that has to be the most conceited answer I have ever seen to someone who was actually interested enough in your posts to counsel your expertise and ask a musical question.
