Welcome to Gaia! ::

Disclaimer: We don't actually know anything about music, so if our tastes turn out to be horrible, I am very sorry. ;A;

Stars, a Canadian indie dream pop band, is one of our favourites, though admitting so can get embarrassing, because for guys who mainly purport to like bitter, moody songs from bitter, moody, indie/alt guys, admitting to really liking dream pop and really loving really twee bands can get really embarrassing. In other words, I should really have led into this post with a bitter moody song from a bitter moody indie/alt guy, but it's tough to find the tracks I want on Youtube (at least, before one of them scored a Mercury), and we just happened to have uploaded these two Stars picks for Widow and Guest (Maxx's Death to Death and my You Come Around), who are in fact indirect song!meti.

We struggle a lot with Stars, being that we are deeply enamoured with some of their songs, but are deeply indifferent to most of the rest - which is usually the case, isn't it? Nevertheless, they are amongst our top, top bands - especially for 'meti names harhar (being that their tracks are less urban in nature than some of our other favourites). Three of my 'meti (and my horde title) are in fact named after songs of theirs, with many more planned so I really hope those don't get used before I get to them.

Stars - Death to Death :: A catchy, careless, heartless ditty.
i am destroyer i am lover / and when i kiss i like to smother

Stars - What the Snowman Learned About Love :: Subtle distorted vocals over a wistful layered instrumentation circling almost to oppression.*
how the heart bends and summer she sends a sky that refuses to die / you come around

*Said vocals only kick in around 2.28, but this is one of my favourite songs of all time, so hopefully you can wait it out. XD

Looking up at the previous posts, I love Decemberists, Metric, Radiohead, some Tiesto, and spy a few playlist names. Lots to listen to, otherwise! I love threads like this, I'll be back with another post, this time about The Frames, in a few days if I haven't bored you to death with this one yet. XD;;

Oh daaang, I've heard this before! I forgot it existed! That's some good s**t, yo.

Jun, I am now addicted to rhapsody in blue, I hope you're happy.

Let me throw some more Decemberists at you guys BECAUSE THERE IS NEVER ENOUGH. (And also we have been talking about this song in thread, what with Acorn Crop & the Morrigan and such.)

Here is The Tain. (really amazing papercut-shadow-y video too, WATCH IT! Also actually gives a good summary of the Tain story, too.)

Time for some strange things from nowhereland because I have not slept and this thread has been a mite quiet!

Renard - Crab Nicholson Extreme Sleepover
