rWotD Episode 2967: Port of Morrow (album) Welcome to Random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Wednesday, 18 June 2025, is Port of Morrow (album).Port of Morrow is the fourth studio album by American rock band The Shins. The album was released in the UK on March 19, 2012, and in the US on March 20, 2012, on Aural Apothecary and Columbia Records and was co-produced by Greg Kurstin and frontman James Mercer. The Shins' first studio album in five years, following the release of 2007's Wincing the Night Away, followed major lineup changes in the group: founding members Dave Hernandez (bass, guitar), Marty Crandall (keyboards) and Jesse Sandoval (drums) departed in 2009. Mercer deemed it an "aesthetic decision" to part ways with his bandmates, and in the interim, founded side project Broken Bells with Danger Mouse.Primarily a collaboration between Mercer and Kurstin, the album features contributions from former members: Dave Hernandez, Martin Crandall, Eric D. Johnson and Ron Lewis; alongside drummer Joe Plummer, and other studio contributors, including Janet Weiss and Nik Freitas. Mercer penned lyrics based around his newfound fatherhood, the love for his family, as well as nostalgic memories of his childhood in Germany and his rough adolescent transition to the United States. Musically, Port of Morrow is inspired by 1970s German pop and is melodic and heavily layered, while adding a greater emphasis on electronic instrumentation.The album debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 and received largely favorable reviews from contemporary critics, with some deeming it among the band's best, while others felt it disjointed following the departure of its principal members. The lead single "Simple Song" charted within the top ten on the Billboard alternative charts, representing the band's highest peak chart-wise in their home country. Upon release, independent record stores were exclusively given a bonus acoustic EP bundled with the record.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:47 UTC on Wednesday, 18 June 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Port of Morrow (album) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Danielle.

For the 20th anniversary of The Shins' second album, CHUTES TOO NARROW, we take a detailed look at how it was made. After getting their start in Albuquerque in the early nineties as a band called Flake, James Mercer, Neal Langford, Marty Crandall and Jesse Sandoval eventually morphed into The Shins. Mercer had first conceived of The Shins as an outlet for his quieter songs that weren't working for Flake. Sandoval joined him initially and when Flake called it quits in the late nineties, Langford and Crandall also ended up joining The Shins. They caught the attention of Sub Pop, who signed them to a deal and released their debut album, OH, INVERTED WORLD in 2001. The album was a result of a year of recording at home with inexpensive gear that managed to reach a large audience. For their second album, Mercer had left Albuquerque and moved to Portland, Oregon, where he set up a basement studio with some better quality gear and recorded the majority of the record at home. Ultimately, the band finished the record with Phil Ek co-producing and mixing at Avast! Recording Co. in Seattle. In this episode, James Mercer describes the pressure he was putting on himself to prove that The Shins weren't just a fluke. With the goal of making a career in music, Mercer talks about this intense period when he was challenging himself as a songwriter to come up with interesting chord progressions and unique lyrics. Mercer also talks about the interpersonal relationships and shifting power dynamics in the band and how his close friendship with Neal Langford fell apart at this time. From wanting to make a stripped down and honest record to working with Phil Ek in a proper studio to the lineup change of Dave Hernandez replacing Langford to staying up all night to write a song at the very last minute to finding inspiration from a thrift store copy of Neil Young's Harvest, we'll hear the stories of how the record came together.

We're on episode Sweet 16, babes!!!! Love the number 16. Anyway, this is a slower week. We get into: updates on the astrology of the WGA Strike; Full Moon in Capricorn as world-building school reality check for the impatient seagoats we love; I bring up some examples of Capricorn artists and am upset that in the moment, I forgot to list James Mercer (of the Shins), my favorite lyricist of all time (his firing of his bandmates for “aesthetic reasons” is also one of the most Capricorn things ever); after the Full Moon, the week is pretty calm. Some soft Mercury aspects for innovation and creativity! + the week ends on a motivating Aries Moon.Let me know what you think by leaving a review or a comment!If you're enjoying the pod, I ask you to please support by becoming a paid subscriber.

Ice baths are a popular subject on American social media pages. Kim Kardashian, Harry Styles, Kristen Bell, Lizzo, and other stars have posted about their cold water experiences.冰浴是美国社交媒体页面上的热门话题。 Kim Kardashian、Harry Styles、Kristen Bell、Lizzo 和其他明星都发布了他们的冷水体验。Health claims surrounding ice baths include improved mood, increased energy, weight loss and reduced inflammation. But the science linked to some of those claims is not very strong.围绕冰浴的健康声明包括改善情绪、增加能量、减轻体重和减少炎症。 但与其中一些说法相关的科学依据并不是很强。Here is what medical evidence, experts and fans say about cold water baths, an activity that dates back hundreds of years.以下是医学证据、专家和粉丝对冷水浴的评价，这项活动可以追溯到数百年前。Since June 2020, Dan O'Conor has jumped into Lake Michigan almost daily. The 55-year-old man lives in the city of Chicago.自 2020 年 6 月以来，丹·奥康纳几乎每天都会跳入密歇根湖。 这位 55 岁的男子住在芝加哥市。O'Conor used the term endorphins - “feel good” hormones released in reaction to pain, stress, exercise and other activities – to talk about his experience.奥康纳使用内啡肽这个词——一种对疼痛、压力、运动和其他活动做出反应而释放的“感觉良好”的荷尔蒙——来谈论他的经历。“The endorphin rush … is an incredible way to wake up and just kind of shock the body and get the engine going,” he said on a recent morning when the air temperature was minus-5 Celsius.“内啡肽激增……是一种令人难以置信的唤醒方式，它只是一种刺激身体并让引擎运转的方式，”他在最近的一个早晨说，当时气温为零下 5 摄氏度。With the lake temperature at 1 degree Celsius, O'Conor did a running jump into the icy gray water.湖水温度为 1 摄氏度，奥康纳跑进冰冷的灰色水中。His first jump came early in the pandemic. O'Conor had too much alcohol and his wife was angry at him. She told him to “go jump in the lake.” The common saying is not usually received as a real command.他的第一次跳跃发生在大流行初期。 奥康纳酗酒，他的妻子生他的气。 她告诉他“去湖里跳”。 俗语通常不会作为真正的命令被接受。But, O'Conor acted on it.但是，奥康纳采取了行动。He says the water felt good that June day, so he kept jumping in every day following. As the water grew colder with seasonal change, the good effect was even greater, he said.他说六月的那一天感觉水很好，所以他每天都坚持跳进去。 他说，随着季节变化，水变冷，效果会更好。“My mental health is a lot stronger, a lot brighter. I found some zen down here coming down and jumping into the lake and shocking that body,” O'Conor said.“我的心理健康强多了，也活泼多了。 我发现这里有一些禅宗下来，跳进湖里，震撼了那个身体，”奥康纳说。Dr. Will Cronenwett of Northwestern University's Feinberg medical school tried cold-water immersion once while visiting Scandinavian friends. After a sauna, he jumped into the ice-cold water for a few minutes. He said it was a powerful experience.西北大学范伯格医学院的威尔·克罗南维特博士在拜访斯堪的纳维亚朋友时曾尝试过一次冷水浸泡。 洗完桑拿后，他跳进冰冷的水中泡了几分钟。 他说这是一次很有力量的经历。But Cronenwett says studying cold water immersion with a kind of scientific study known as a randomized controlled trial is difficult. This is because it is hard to develop a placebo for cold water baths.但是 Cronenwett 说，通过一种被称为随机对照试验的科学研究来研究冷水浸泡是很困难的。 这是因为很难开发出用于冷水浴的安慰剂。A placebo is something that has no effect. Placebos are important because scientific tests need to compare the possible effect of something with something else that does not have any physical effect.安慰剂是没有效果的东西。 安慰剂很重要，因为科学测试需要将某物的可能影响与没有任何物理影响的其他东西进行比较。There are a few ideas about how cold water immersion affects the mind.关于冷水浸泡如何影响大脑，有一些想法。Cronenwett says it makes the part of the nervous system that controls the resting state more active. Such an effect may increase feelings of well-being.Cronenwett 说它使控制静息状态的神经系统部分更加活跃。 这种效果可能会增加幸福感。Cold water immersion also affects the part of the nervous system that controls the fight-or-flight stress reaction. Cold water treatment on a usual basis may reduce that reaction. So, Cronenwett said, it might help people feel better able to deal with other stresses in their lives, although that is not proven.冷水浸泡还会影响控制战或逃应激反应的神经系统部分。 通常的冷水处理可能会减少这种反应。 因此，Cronenwett 说，这可能有助于人们更好地应对生活中的其他压力，尽管这尚未得到证实。Czech researchers found that cold water immersion can increase blood levels of dopamine — another hormone — by 250 percent. High amounts have been linked with paranoia and aggression, noted James Mercer of the Arctic University of Norway. Mercer co-wrote a recent scientific paper that examined studies on the treatment.捷克研究人员发现，冷水浸泡可以使血液中多巴胺（另一种激素）的含量增加 250%。 挪威北极大学的詹姆斯·默瑟 (James Mercer) 指出，高剂量与偏执狂和攻击性有关。 Mercer 与人合着了一篇最近的科学论文，审查了有关治疗的研究。Cold water immersion raises blood pressure and increases stress on the heart. Studies have shown this is safe for healthy people and the effects are only temporary.冷水浸泡会升高血压并增加心脏压力。 研究表明，这对健康人是安全的，而且效果只是暂时的。But sometimes these effects can cause the heart to beat unevenly and can cause death, Cronenwett said. People with heart conditions or a family history of early heart disease should talk with a doctor before doing cold water immersion, he said.但有时这些影响会导致心脏跳动不均匀并可能导致死亡，Cronenwett 说。 他说，患有心脏病或有早期心脏病家族史的人在进行冷水浸泡之前应该咨询医生。Repeated cold-water immersions during colder seasons have been shown to improve how the body reacts to insulin, a hormone that controls blood sugar levels, Mercer noted.Mercer 指出，在较冷的季节反复浸泡冷水已被证明可以改善身体对胰岛素的反应，胰岛素是一种控制血糖水平的激素。This might help reduce the risk of getting diabetes. It also might help people with the disease control it. More study is required to know for sure.这可能有助于降低患糖尿病的风险。 它还可以帮助患有这种疾病的人控制它。 需要更多的研究才能确定。Cold water immersion also activates brown fat. This tissue helps keep the body warm and helps it control blood sugar and insulin levels. It also helps the body burn calories.冷水浸泡也会激活棕色脂肪。 这种组织有助于保持身体温暖，并有助于控制血糖和胰岛素水平。 它还可以帮助身体燃烧卡路里。

This podcast, Greg and Tyler take a look back at Albuquerque-based indie darlings, The Shins, fronted by James Mercer. We take a look at their first two records, 2001's Oh, Inverted World and 2003's Chutes Too Narrow.

There's a genetic eye disease native to the island, called "Newfoundland Rod-Cone Dystrophy." James Mercer, originally from Conception Bay North, has the disease and has written a new book about it, "I Sight: The Power of Perception." Jane Green is a geneticist at Memorial University, whose work identified the disease.

Inspired by recent collaborations with some of America's coolest indie A-listers (Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig, Danielle Haim, Justin Vernon aka Bon Iver, James Mercer, Jamila Woods) Bruce Hornsby has been prolific in recent times, making a trilogy of albums beginning with the ‘return-to-form album' Absolute Zero (2019). This trilogy is a real display of Hornsby's musical prowess and curiosity – a mix of progressive, avant garde pop and contemporary classical works. Completing the trio of albums, Flicted, Hornsby's 23rd studio record, is a collection of songs built from ‘cues' for his music to Spike Lee's films (Bruce and Spike have been collaborating since the early 90s). The album features some phenomenal side players including the producer Blake Mills (on guitar) and yMusic, a Brooklyn-based chamber sextet that lends lush arrangements throughout. Indeed as Bruce hints during our conversation, more is to come from his sessions with yMusic. “I'm a lifelong student and I'm way more interested in getting better as a musician, a vocalist and especially as a writer. I've been getting nasty letters ever since my second record saying “how dare you change”, but my silent response is “you haven't heard anything yet.”Perhaps all ‘pop' musicians of longevity should aspire to Bruce Hornsby's musically borderless, ‘post-genre' way of working. “My art of longevity is not giving a rat's ass about what's popular, or whether I'm popular but to please myself and to grow, evolve, change and expand…on and on”. When it comes to music, and Bruce Hornsby, whatever you do, don't call it a comeback. Support the show

Demoitus isn't just the artistic fear or regret that you've "lost the magic" on the path from first demo recording of a song to the “studio” version. It's also the experience musicians and artists go through getting to the final version.... the people, the spaces and the resources that influence the process. As the 20th anniversary of the release of The Shins Oh, Inverted World arrives, we hear about the creation and the evolution of that album's 2001 hit song New Slang with James Mercer, singer, songwriter and founding member of The Shins. We dive in with James and learn about the inspiration that helped create New Slang and The Shins itself, as well as hear for the first time the original micro cassette bedroom demos of the classic song.Demoitis is hosted by Joe Plummer (Modest Mouse, The Shins, Mister Heavenly, Cold War Kids) and Dann Gallucci (Murder City Devils, Modest Mouse) and produced by Ruinous Media and Little Everywhere.Enter Fret10 for a 10% discount on Izotope software.

This week we tackle The Shins' seminal indie record Oh, Inverted World. James Mercer and company blended 60s pop influences such as The Beatles & The Zombies effortlessly with Mercer's whimsical lyricism and infectious melodies to create a sound that is unmistakably The Shins. Clocking in at just 33 minutes, the record packs a powerful punch as a debut record, cementing the group as one of the most iconic indie bands of the decade. And having prominent placement in Zach Braff's Garden State certainly helped.

Dr. James Mercer by Good Morning LaLa Land

Comic, actor and triple j host Veronica Milsom is a rare guest who knew exactly what her favorite album is straight away - the seminal decade young album from The Shins 'Wincing the Night Away'. We talk about how Veronica's older brother's mixtapes introduced her to the Shins, how frontman's James Mercer's insomnia fuelled the creation of the album, the intimacy of his singing, the Zach Braff driven high expectations and backlash toward this album, and whether any contemporary music has hit her as hard as this record did ten years ago. Plus, we discuss Veronica's legendary "thing" for Bernard Fanning, how the events of your life change how you perceive time, why her perspective as a radio DJ has made her hate certain songs, her own self-induced bout with insomnia in Perth and the questions she feels guilty for asking bands during interviews. My Favorite Album is a podcast unpacking the great works of pop music. Each episode features a different songwriter or musician discussing their favorite album of all time - their history with it, the making of the album, individual songs and the album's influence on their own music. Jeremy Dylan is a filmmaker, journalist and photographer from Sydney, Australia who has worked in the music industry since 2007. He directed the the feature music documentary Jim Lauderdale: The King of Broken Hearts (out now!) and the feature film Benjamin Sniddlegrass and the Cauldron of Penguins, in addition to many commercials and music videos.
