Time for a Saturday morning video....
Today it is the marvelously playful homage to glam rock circa the video for "Bitches In Tokyo" by Canadian indie group Stars. This video made me chuckle and it is endearing in many ways, including references to the New York Dolls and The Smiths part way through.
There is also a funny reference to social workers that made me laugh at my own esteemed professions ("Stand back, I am from child social services, your children are doing fine!"). In many ways Stars are gifted at capturing a sense of youthful yearning and idealism in much of their material, and of course they give the sound advice to any upstarting musician that you should "move to Berlin".

That is a delightful video! Not only is it a great song, but I love how they focus in on the self-awareness of name checking in the indie kid community. Brilliant!
Great song and video. I'd never heard of Stars. Must check out more of their stuff.
I keep checking blogs on my PC which has no speakers at this time!!! I must go on my macbook to check it out. I've heard of Stars, but haven't given them a proper listen really. I'll be back :O)
Aw, I loved it! Thanks for posting this vid :O) I think I will watch it again hehe!
I wonder if you are finished unpacking, and enjoying your new neighborhood? I hope so. I was checking the PNE website last night, because I remembered you mentioning The Bacon Brothers performing there. I've never been to the PNE and am so excited about the concert series! WOooOOt!
I am glad you all enjoyed this.. now excuse me while I go to Berlin!
