Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Alas, we just couldn't make it to the Shins show Monday night at the Palladium Ballroom. But 18-year-old Caitlin -- who goes to Plano West and whose MySpace page features a video in which some dudes are asked, "How much money would it take [for] you to kill a puppy with your bare hands?" -- not only went to the show, but she videotaped some of the performances. And what did she do with them? D'uh. Posted them to YouTube, of course. So, if you didn't go to the show or just want to relive the band's performance of "New Slang," here it is. Thanks, Caitlin. You totally changed our afternoon. --Robert Wilonsky
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
