resident stars fangirl here.

set yourself on fire and heart are two of my favourite albums. we have similar taste so i bet you'd dig them.

heart is really dreamy, romantic kind of poppy record, with lots of songs about love and such.

set yourself on fire is their latest, and they're definately getting more sassy on it. politcal themes, partying, lots of breakup stuff, and more electric touches. lots of pretty instruments too. personally i like this one better but they're both great.

good stuff, too bad i missed out on them last summer during a festival.

i've seen them three times, the last of which being in a tiny hotel bar. they're better in small venues but i think that about most bands.

well the thing was that they were having technical problems, and the festive was on quite a tight schedule. So we left because we thought they weren't going to perform anymore, and because i wanted to see the Ponys as well. Too bad :(

hah, i just found out that you can listen to that particular gig here:

Stars are great. Set Yourself On fire is even better then Heart.

Set Yourself on Fire is my favorite album from last year.

what? nevermind. you'll hear her talk more like this in februari, you'll get used to it.

Yeah, they're sweet.

i'm curious to see what their side projects amount to. Amy Milan's solo album should be pretty could. Maybe better than Feist?

die, joeri.

they're pretty mediocre.

i really like them too. I can't decide which of the two albums I like the most, but I really really loved them live. I saw them at the Hillside festival this summer and they were great. Awesome stage banter indeed :)

I'm seeing them next week opening for Death Cab. Come to think of it, I'm probably more excited to see them than the headliners.

lol

I wish I could get the time back I wasted on listening to that.

I have both Heart and Set Yourself On Fire and the latter is better but both disappointed.

The band seems to write two or three stunning tracks per album... eg. Elevator Love Letter, Set Yourself On Fire, Ageless Beauty... and the rest, for the most part is really bland and coated with overtly literal romantic lyrics, which often make me cringe.

They're just 'ok' in my opinion.
