So here’s the deal, I’ve been waiting for Stars to bring their heartbreaking brand of baroque pop my way for a loooong time. Finally, after years of yearning, I will get to see said brand of baroque pop in Nashville. Luckily it’s not the only place they’re stopping (Nashville one-off’s aren’t very popular unless you’re someone like this guy), so you can get your Stars on too.

Saw them last night in Cork – they won’t disappoint! However, I sincerely hope the crowd for your experience is better. In my 28 years, I have been to a lot of gigs, but the audience at this show was the worst ever. I don’t really understand why – Cyprus Ave (where they played) has always been kind to me, but it seems every 18 year old in town decided to descend upon the venue and proceed to get far too drunk and were far too inconsiderate of those of us who just want to enjoy some baroque pop. Kind of soured the night, despite the beautiful tunes…Hmm…
