Honestly, it was the kind of show that lifts them into "favourite band" status. Fucking briliant.

Also, "This song is about fucking someone IN ORDER TO KILL THEM" is possibly my favourite introduction to a song, ever.

The vid for Reunion is class.

And if you can find the "a lot of little lies..." ep, it's absolutely fantastic. The "This Charming Man" cover is perfect.

That made me cringe! As did the "OK, that concludes the existential love song part of the show – I think it's time to do some songs about FUCKING"
Indie bands shouldn't try to talk like that. It's just embarrassing.
I liked the show though.

As per usual, I pop out of the housetechdancefloor foxhole of my own creation to "discover" a band that people much cooler than myself have probably tired of by now. I bought "Reunion", "Stars", and the "This Charming Man" cover off of iTunes a few days ago. All three are amazing, and "Reunion" is set to replace Interpol's "Evil" as my New Favourite Thing Ever (tm).
What else do I need?

Except this is their "Nightsongs" version.http://s56.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2BBE3ZR4IDW5L37P5BGOXYI24H
I have another Stars rendition somewhere else that I prefer more...I'll see if I can find it.

I think this song will always be able to cheer me up
― Curt1s Stephens, Thursday, 21 June 2007 02:41 (sixteen years ago) link
there is an acoustic version of this song for download on last.fm apparently
― Curt1s Stephens, Thursday, 21 June 2007 02:54 (sixteen years ago) link
Found the clip on youtube a couple of weeks back. I liked it! They sound like Lush. Well in that song anyway. It was very lovely.

Good strategy:
"On September 25th, Arts&Crafts will release Stars' fourth studio album, In Our Bedroom After War.
We love it and are excited and proud to be bringing it to the world.
We enlisted Joe Chiccarelli to mix the album. He finished in early June, passing the tapes along to Emily Lazar at the Lodge for mastering. Last Friday, July 6th, a final master was delivered to us.
Traditional music business practice says we are to begin sending out copies of this album now. We give advance copies to print publications in hopes of securing features that coincide with our September date. We meet with radio stations in hopes of securing airplay. etc, etc.
Inevitably someone will leak the album.
Throughout this process, the most important people in this value chain, the fans, are given only two options - wait until September 25th to legally purchase the new album or choose from a variety of sources and download the album for free, at any time.
We hope you'll choose to support the band, and choose to pay for their album. However we don't think it's fair you should have to wait until September 25th to do so.
We believe that the line between the media and the public is now completely grey. What is the difference between a writer for a big glossy music magazine and a student writing about their favourite bands on their blog? What differentiates a commercial radio station from someone adding a song to their lastfm channel? or their myspace page?
As such, we are making the new Stars album available for legal download today, four days after it's completion. The CD and double vinyl versions of the album will still be released on our official release date, September 25th. We hope you will continue to support music retailers should a physical album in all it's packaged glory be your choice of format.
It's our hope that given a clear, legal alternative to downloading music for free, you will choose to support the creators.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
Sincerely,
Stars and Arts&Crafts"

Classic albums released after a 4 day break (or less)
― Curt1s Stephens, Tuesday, 10 July 2007 19:38 (sixteen years ago) link
The fact that they're doing this makes me want to support them more than I'd have done otherwise. So yeah, I'm probably going to be legally downloading this album, which I'm already excited about, since I liked the last one quite a bit.
