Sinister: re:secret stars

[Janine Papp]

ohooooh, I adore the secret stars like you wouldn't believe and I could
tell you their entire discography right now.  OK I will, if you insist.

Cassette-only self-titled release - shrimper
they have 2 7"s and 1 split 7" with Ida
self-titled CD
Geneologies CD

alright so I can't remember the names of the 7"s and stuff. bah.  they rule.
In fact I interviewed Geoff Farina, who is one-half of the secret stars,
and is also in the band karate, for the first issue of my zine.  He was so
sweet, and so intelligent, that I instantly developed a huge crush on him.
and... he actually CALLED me once and I was so excited.  this is how our
conversation went:

Him "Hi, I was wondering you had (name deleted)'s phone number."
me:  "yes, I do, it's (phone # deleted)."
him:  "Ok, thanks.  well, have a nice weekend.  Bye."

and that was the beginning, the middle, and the end of our steamy romance. ;)

anyway I think people who like belle and sebastian would be into the secret
stars.  they have quiet, mellow, lovelorn songs for the most part, and
occasionally there's some tape manipulation and stuff going on.  the secret
stars are amazing.  check them out.  right now.  what are you waiting for?
go!
