Stars - "Fixed" (Live Version from Late Night)

Amazon has the latest album by Stars, The Five Ghosts, priced at just $3.99!

The aspect I'm glad the below clip shows: the band's insistence on throwing flowers to their fans. When I saw them live over two years ago I was wondering how much of an expense that must be over the course of a tour, for they must've tossed out three dozens.

It's becoming painfully clear to me that any woman is instantly made more attractive to me when holding a guitar and singing... Which reminds me of a show this Friday that I still haven't decided if I'm going to or not...

More music from Stars is available at the MySpace (www.myspace.com/stars) and official (www.youarestars.com) websites.

Broken Social Scene - A better concert review from another

Earlier this month was the second time I've ever driven to another State for a concert. Broken Social Scene in Wisconsin is now on the list that used to just consist of Radiohead in Indiana (2008).

I'm yielding the floor to Dan Oberbruner's review... I'm no good at concert blogging. I'm there in the moment, not to detail it later for others.

However, there was one cool moment I've never seen before at a concert that I want to share:
At the end of the last song BSS played, all walked off the stage except Kevin Drew. It was sincerely awesome that Drew wasn't going to partake in the charade of If you cheer loud enough we'll come back out for an encore. He stood up there alone, publicly catching his breath and wasting no time as soon as his bandmates quickly joined him back on stage.

I've already heard rumors that Broken Social Scene will perform again at Lollapalooza next year after not being there this year. If that happens I think I will have no other choice but to finally attend that horde in Grant Park.

(That picture is from yours truly without zoom on my iPhone - I didn't think I would've gotten that close to the stage!)

Broken Social Scene - "Forced to Love" (MINKA KELLY SEXY VERSION!)

Just as I found an excuse to post about Minka Kelly on LeBlogski, I found a way to get her on this blog as well. Thank you, Esquire Magazine, for many things. For example, using a Broken Social Scene song as the background to this video:

Ladies and Canucks, Minka Kelly is your Esquire Magazine Sexiest Woman Alive!
