Stars: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

[@lilyhall3607]

13 years ago? Invite Stars back!

[@irishkayo]

I saw these guys open for Death Cab in 2005... That night was fucking magical. I had never heard of Stars and they completely blew me away!

[@three0nezero]

was it at the soma in san diego? if so i was there too....they blew my mind that night.

[@PinkCornelia]

I'm so jealous, wish I could see them and DCFC on the same night.

[@lllill]

Same. Saw them at the Warfield in SF in 2005 opening for DCFC as well. Was not expecting them, left loving them. Commenting now 13 years later.

[@windmasterfluke]

Possible my all time fav band. I've watched many Tiny desks and never knew this was here. Thank you Stars and Tiny Desk for this concert LOVE IT!

[@lallain7016]

I think "Your Ex-Lover is Dead" might be the best song ever.

[@kleash]

Their voice makes them 20 years younger than they are, amazing.

[@kkatrinamorenoo]

Your Ex Lover is Dead is almost too good of a song and I'm so happy they played that one. Thanks NPR!

[@FJR00]

Invite them back, please!

[@christinegalloway37]

Amy Millan's voice is love.

I (finally) moved away from home and spent the early "aughts" in and around Montreal. Being a montreal band, Stars were part of the soundtrack of my life at that time, along with Toronto's Metric and New York's Yeah Yeah Yeahs and The Strokes. This brings back some awesome memories. If you've never spent any time in Montreal, go!

[@kariette4]

Their voices are so amazing without any special sound effects.

[@CertainSongs87]

I cannot possibly convey how much I adore "Your Ex-Lover is Dead" Its funny, the same person whom I shared a connection over this song with is the same person I came into contact with in a scenario not far off from the one described in the song. I don't think I'll ever not think of her. I hope you're doing well Jordyn.

[@joaobusko]

I think this song really captures the force of falling off love, which I believe is much stronger and much more remembered with some longing than falling in love (now thinking about it again more than 15 years later)

[@TehJews]

Your Ex Lover Is Dead sounds so fkn good. Set Yourself On Fire is a top 10 album for me, amazing band.

[@goodGodtube]

It's difficult keeping up with the ever expanding universe of Canadian indie music. CBC radio helps a lot. So does NPR. Heard Torquille today on Canada's national airwaves and now have had the pleasure of meeting his mighty little band here on American radio. Thank you NPR for putting out there some of our fine artists like Stars and Patrick Watson.

[@richardarthurmusic]

A miraculous melding of voices.....delicate and forceful, simultaneously somehow. I saw them once completely randomly at the San Diego House Of Blues in 2005 or something.

[@DrChris2903]

Great harmony, great harmonies. Pure genius. Love them.

[@andrearobbins179]

Yelling into the acoustics of the bookshelf, oof... love everything about this (sorry I'm so late)

[@jaksspring97]

ex-lover is dead was great. thanks NPR for featuring this group

[@MarynaOL]

So great - I love their voices together and their harmonies!

[@QuintinSarren]

Its amazing that even after all this time they still sound so good.

[@elmcloudtt]

hello npr, thank you for the stream - stars from montreal and they went west on our side to sing three songs. wish to see them and meet them one day in montreal. elle for duets best

[@commonwealpanther]

Fer realz, the music scene in Canada is great. I would have no idea if it was not for NPR and CBC. It all started for me years ago with Christine Fellows. I never looked back!

[@ircyp]

I adore the canadian music scene, makes me super proud to be a canadian :)

[@KaiThursday]

we out here.

[@rio197]

Beautiful beautiful beautiful

[@beckycandybunny]

I love this so much thanks for having them there ♥️

[@commonwealpanther]

Fer realz, Canada is reppin on the music scene, Good stuff that w/o NPR/CBC I would know nothing about. It all started for me with Christine Fellows years ago.

[@DaddyKafkaesque]

Brilliant group. I love their stuff.

[@JoeBore]

these Canadian superstars will be music icons someday!

[@loonylovesgood]

Ugh, SO GOOD.

[@withershin]

01:01 The book just above Amy's head is titled "Baby". That's a cute coincidence!

[@JessMcPhersonYoung]

Amazing =)

[@Chillyman010]

shes got a voice on her

[@spokennerd]

@Camilla45242 You know they probably had a long drive or something. It's not easy being a touring musician. Also. WHo Cares how they look? Having met them I was really impressed with how cool they were to their fans.

[@twistedoveryou01]

The stars are a consistently an awesome band. Why are they not bigger?

[@NICOPSG5]

Yessss

[@anie887]

Why did I love this 13 years ago and now I hate it? 😂

[@frithsai7076]

[@jacesk8ter123]

i did not expect satars to look like this ha

[@TheHoiland]

Who downvotes these guys?

[@momin5961]

❤

[@goodGodtube]

Just between you, me and YT, my account is rather new. Your reponse is only the second one I've received. Being of the generation unused to cyperspace relationships, I didn't reply- albeit Les Trois Accords one obliges me to eventually get back in imperfect French. But since you are American, i did not want to be remiss. You are to be thanked for your NPR/CBC life outside the box and under the Stars. (Fer realz...which offical language is that?)

[@spokennerd]

In a totally non creepy way. I want to bake you guys cookies and build you a nice cabin in the forest behind my house!

[@spokennerd]

@@ceesan5605 Looking back at this 9 years later, this was a little creepy.

[@shytahura]

Who’s here from their IG story?

[@TheTrumpetWhoCould]

Explain? I just dont know what that means, thanks.

[@ProbyWaN1337]

2011 was 7 years ago. wtf

[@Zzzdius]

[@misstrawberry]

I love the stars but really felt this didn't measure up to their talent. Guess everyone has an off day.

[@mikebee02]

Good music... for a couple middle-aged creeps.
