Stars – This Charming Man
I discovered stars through Le Grand Magistery music, which had in its roster Momus and Baxendale. So Stars started off like electronic indie.
There is a little gem off this album, “This Charming Man”! This is the most amazing and unique cover of the classic Smiths song! It’s really a shame that they no longer do this song (or their earlier songs) when they go on tour…
If you’re interested in more Stars, this is my favorite song My Radio
More songs on vox: The First Five Times, Celebration Guns, and What the Snowman Saw
Love the cover too. Also love “International Rockstar”… don’t know if that’s off the same album? It has clips from the movie “The Collector” which is based off a really fantastic novel.
i *think* morrissey said that he thought this cover was the best one out there…
Awesome
[this is good] I remember hearing “This Charming Man” a couple of years back, never thought they were located from my home town.
Your Ex-Lover is Dead is great, too! I saw Stars at the Siren festival in NYC this summer. 🙂
i also like this song. it’s totally decent.
Freaky! Just yesterday I was clearing out iTunes b/c the iPod was getting too close to maximum density…and I deleted a bunch of Stars b/c they were tunes that never get a lot of play…but damn these two you posted are sweet!Great cover!
