    Ever been diagnosed with a bad case of the clap? We’ve all been there before, amirite? Luckily, the Shins are here for you with a fantastic new product: Clapping Butter.

    And unlike some bands who try to take advantage of their fans with ridiculousmerch you’d likely never need or want, Clapping Butter actually serves a practical purpose (just be sure you DO NOT touch yourself down there if you use it. I can’t stress that enough).

    The Shins‘ new album, Port of Morrow, is set for release next week. Early word is that the claps on it are second to none.
