Hot on the heels of my post about Stars’ new tour dates and mention of upcoming single, “Fixed”, comes…”Fixed”. This is the first track available off Stars’ forthcoming fifth LP, The Five Ghosts, and thank god it’s Amy Millan taking the reigns.

The Next Big Thing: Starlume (with exclusive MP3s)
Wow, talk about a band blowing me off my feet. I had never heard of Starlume until I stumbled upon their music on MySpace.

However, not only did they email… Continue reading The Next Big Thing: Starlume (with exclusive MP3s)
