This song is incredibly painful for me to listen to, but it's still good. Kinda soft though.

I LOVE STARS SO MUCH. I took Emilie to a Broken Social Scene/Stars show on our first date. Sent them a wedding invitation ~3 years later, and they wrote back. We even danced to Elevator Love Letter at the wedding. :heartbeat :heartbeat :heartbeat

The first two albums were awesome. But then they went a little crap. Why Do You Love Me is fucking ace in Rock Band, though.

Witnessing panty-less Shirley Manson at the early shows was pretty awesome to a 15-year old teen from Seattle. :teehee

Post by: GilloD on February 23, 2010, 02:58:43 AM: I saw Metric open for Broken Social Scene like right before You Forgot it in People broke. It was the best show of my life, so fucking fun. Anyway, I stopped listening to them after that.

But maybe The Rapture?
