Re-seeing Stars


I'd like to talk about an oldie but greatie from the perpetually fantastic Stars. This Québécois group needs no introduction, but I will say their incredible music makes me all fuzzy inside every time I hear it. Though their 2004 release, Set Yourself On Fire, is my favorite Stars album, my favorite song of theirs, "Take Me to the Riot," comes off their 2007 release In Our Bedroom After the War. It's a stunning, anti-apathy call to arms for passion, lust, and all things holy. Well, maybe not, but it's damn good, and that's good enough for me.
