"well Tainted Love's too fast to dance to, so let's leave them all behind" So tonight I went with my parents, one of my twin sisters, and three of her children to see The 5 Browns, which while impressive, was a little bit... classical music for the masses. Anyway, so they did this "A Conversation with the 5 Browns" right after the intermission during which members of the audience could ask them questions. They were asked what music they listen to other than classical, and the oldest Brown, Desirae, said she was listening to this band, Stars. And I thought she was cool. Until she said she also bought Kelly Clarkson's latest album, and she wasn't so cool anymore.

The point of that, of course, is that clearly it's time to blog about Stars' latest album, "Set Yourself On Fire," also on Arts and Crafts with Broken Social Scene. Their first album, "Heart," was really good, but this one just really really does it for me. I'm not sure how to explain it, really, but it's good. Incredible, even. If you want to check it out for yourself, you can listen to it on their website.

Also, I'm sick of going to restaurants who won't let me order my meat the way I like it. Jerks.
