Is anyone else on the list into the Secret Stars? They're a local (Boston) band I've just rediscovered. Their first album, which is self-titled, is available on Shrimper (from CA) and I think a lot of B&S fans would probably like it. A guy and a a girl and very very quiet, sad, wintry songs. Good snow day music.

Check it out.

ooh, i love the secret stars.. they're gorgeous. wintry songs indeed. do you know the band ida? if you like the secret stars, then i'm sure you'll love them as well.. especially since they covered a secret stars song on their last full-length (a beautiful version of "shoe-in"). plus, they even sing the great line, "driving home in your car, listening to the secret stars, can't believe how great they are..". along with belllllle and sebast-i-an and stephin merrit projects, ida are my absolute favourite band. now you know. teri xx there's an interview with ida here! ==> http://members.tripod.com/~meltingsnow/ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
