I hadn't heard "This Charming Man" in a long time until it came up on shuffle yesterday. It's such a great song, boppy, with crazy Johnny Marr guitar and Morrissey crooning...digging further into the archives also produced a Stars cover of the tune...something I imagine would go great on an xmas playlist!

I guess it's a summertime press blitz - I keep getting solicited about new songs from old favourites. "The Night Starts Here" revisits some Stars of old, mixing in some more electro-pop elements and even a little bit of white crunk. Dunno where that crunchy synth came from, but it's here and it works! I have now made 3 consecutive posts following the "side" projects of the ladies of Broken Social Scene. I rule!
In Our Bedroom After The War drops September 25, 2007. Also check out a Final Fantasy remix of "Your Ex-Lover Is Dead"...
