(Not So) Retro Video Unit (9/21/12)

For this installment I'm moving out of my usual range of 1970s and '80s favorites and obscurities, because I went to see this band last night. I first saw Stars live back in 2007, and this song, "Your Ex-Lover is Dead" (from their 2004 album Set Yourself on Fire) is still one of their best.

It seems they've gotten better known over the ensuing five years, because when they played this last night the entire house sang along. It's also just a really cool video and, given its icy setting, a distinctively Canadian one as well (the band is from Montreal).
