starlight mints 08/15/03
A blast from the past tonight!Over the last week or three, I've been going through a lot of my older shows - I've had a fairly sizable collection of shows from 2002-2005 that I'd taped but never got around to tagging.
Two such shows were the Starlight Mints and Steve Burns (of Blue's Clues fame) from the now-defunct Stuka Bar in Houston back in 2003. It had actually been a couple of years since I'd even listened to the shows, and when I reheard them I realized a couple of things. 1 - Both bands are absolutely amazing, and 2 - these were really really good recordings. Starlight Mints actually played as Steve Burns' backing band before bringing the roof down during their own set.
If you've never heard of the Mints you should definitely check out their last two records - Drowaton and Built on Sqaures. Though the Mints do an amazing job live, their multi-layered and straight-spacey records are something to behold (especially with headphones on.)

just wanted to say thankyou for your beautiful posts and especially the minibar, both fabulous judes and this starlight mints (though submarine 3 seems to be missing) not only are these three some of my favourite artists- i have all their albums- but the quality is just sensational. whatother blog bothers to post such joy from such great bands? (ill just scream if i have to down load yet another cat power) i just wanted you to know that your labours are very much appreciated, so much so that i got myself an account just so i could post this comment...lullabyes continues to be one of the very finest blogs around. again thankyou....now didnt you mention that you had a gingersoul set from the minibar evening? that i would just love to see appear sometome. all the best
thanks man, much appreciated.
also i fixed Submarine #3 - it was actually built right, but for some reason it doesnt like that # sign. I took it out and its all better.
