Allie's Mix Tape Series #2

My second installment of my latest series features a band that I was fortunate enough to hang out with after their concert in Ithaca last fall. Stars.

This Canadian indie pop band has one of the most charismatic frontman in Torquil Campbell, and he himself is surrounded with a group of pulchritudinous individuals, making Stars a lovable band from the start.

So, without farther delay, I present to you a track off their 2004 album, Set Yourself on Fire, entitled "Reunion".

Allie's Mix Tape Series #1

As I have said before, my first real introduction to music was through a series of mixed tapes that my sister, Allison, gave to me starting back about 5 years ago. That being said, I am going to start a series dedicated to her and the mixed tapes which saved my life!

My first installment of this series supplies a song that anyone reading this blog should already know. It's called "Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)" and it's by the almighty Arcade Fire. This was my first taste of Arcade Fire ever; I fell in love immediately and haven't looked back since.
