I like the retro-rock sound of the Strokes. Or whoever this is.

Another case of "Nice, but can't we hear something else?"

Always a BOS for the Shins, even though this is probably their most overplayed song.

I'm sure we'll hear it again if we ever do 2004, since it was in the movie Garden State that year.

That's how I feel about most of this set.  While NTM, none of it made much of an impression.
BOS Cake, although I recognize its LN aspect.  I am less enamored of Mayer and Luce, so I
more readily assign them LN status.
