Song of the Week

I saw Marit Larsen live in November last year and have to say that I was impressed with all the instruments she played live. Her voice is amazing and she's a total sweetheart as I can say from meeting and talking to her afterwards.

The Song of the Week this time is:

Addicted - Marit Larsen

New Stars album "The Five Ghosts"

The Five Ghosts marks the inaugural release on Stars' own Soft Revolution label. Each of the band's five members participated in writing the new album, resulting in what singer Amy Millan calls "quintessential Stars." It's the band's first full-length album since 2007's In Our Bedroom After the War.

Notable about The Five Ghosts is the band's return to producer Tom McFall, who recorded their breakthrough, 2005's Set Yourself on Fire. Fellow Broken Social Scene member Andrew Whiteman also makes an appearance.

Accompanying the album's release is a summer 2010 U.S. tour. Stars will perform the album in its entirety -- and take audience requests, via its website.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club is a rock band from San Francisco, United States now based in Los Angeles. The band formed in 1998, influenced by much classic rock music of the past six decades, particularly the Jesus and Mary Chain and Love and Rockets. Their style also encompassed slower-paced grooves influenced by shoegaze. With their third record Howl, they added blues, folk and gospel, a la Spiritualized.
