Can you remix a masterpiece? Better yet, do you trust your friends to remix your masterpiece? Stars surely did when they recruited their fellow friends to remix their 2004 album "Set Yourself on Fire." The new remix album, aptly titled "Do You Trust Your Friends?" [features] some of my favorite artists: Final Fantasy, Junior Boys, The Dears, The Russian Futurists, Metric, and many many more. These talented friends beautifully re-interpreted some of the old favorites, breathing new life and heart into the songs, while maintaining the melodramatic tone that had originally made them so enduring. Without a doubt, "Do you Trust Your Friends" is quickly becoming one of my favorite albums, and I highly encourage you to support their endeavors once the album is released. - The Yelow Stero
