	<description>An adventure in listening. A different song every day, forever and ever. Or at least until I die, whichever comes first. I hope you enjoy.</description>

This is a cool little page telling you to subscribe to the staires! feed. It says I can put a personal message here, so I am. One birthday when I was very young, probably six or something, I woke up very early unknowingly, it was about six in the morning but it was light outside, so all excitedly I got all my favorite stuffed animals together and loaded them into a plastic wagon I had and then marched through the house to my parents bedroom where I sat outside and made a bunch of commotion with my stuffed animals, not understanding why my parents were being so rude as to not wake up on my birthday. After a little bit my dad woke up and stormed outside and yelled at me, "What are you doing! It's six in the morning! Go back to bed!" Then I was sad, and went back to bed. Hope you dig the feed!</feedburner:browserFriendly><atom10:link xmlns:atom10="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" rel="hub" href="http://pubsubhubbub.appspot.com" /><item>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Let me save you some time: This is Fanfarlo&#8217;s only good song. They have other songs, but most of them suck, and the other one that doesn&#8217;t (The Walls Are Coming Down) sounds so much like it&#8217;s trying so hard to be Beirut that it sucks by default. The album generally suffers from this, which [...]<br/>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t really like Sunset Rubdown. I figure I should just be straight forward. I was going to open with this elaborate imagining of a dial&#8212;like a volume dial&#8212;split in half, one side labeled &#8220;Annoying&#8221; and the other &#8220;Acceptable&#8221;. Annoying is a gradient, there&#8217;s various levels, but Acceptable is totally uniform green, there&#8217;s no levels [...]<br/>

I found a review of this album that repeatedly compares this band to The Postal Service. I&#8217;m going to say that this reviewer [...]<br/>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[From what I read about Stellastarr* on the internet they didn&#8217;t start off sounding the way they do on their latest album, Civilized. Pitchfork compares their first album to Interpol, who released their first around the same time Stellastarr* did. This album, to me, sounds nothing like anything like a Joy Division knock-off band, and [...]<br/>
