"Garage2V"

I forgot to mention that, when I saw Stars a while back, the support act was a neat little act called Plastic Palace Alice, who were sorta one part Arcade Fire and one part Stars (though a bit more modest than either) and good at it. Anyway, a bit further down the track, picked up this eight track sampler-type cd at the local 7-11 (free, obviously) - all local acts aiming to make it. Nothing much particularly grabbed me - the shadow of the AF lies heavily over several of the cuts (including PPA's "Empire Falls"), and there's a bit of Rapture vibe coming through on a couple as well...
