Stars of the Lid is a duo specializing in drone-based ambient music. They list among their influences minimalist and electronic composers such as Arvo Pärt, Zbigniew Preisner, Gavin Bryars, and Henryk Górecki, as well as Talk Talk (both bands have tracks named „Taphead“), post-rock artists Labradford, and ambient innovator Brian Eno. Their songs are largely beatless soundscapes, composed of droning, effects-treated guitars along with piano, strings, and horns; volume swells and feedback fill the gap of rhythmic instruments, providing dynamic movement within the songs. Their sound has been described as „divine, classical drone without the tedious intrusion of drums or vocals“.

    Acquaintances of Woofit will know that Woofit recently visited the planet Tarmac and is chronicling his observations of Tarmacian culture for the benefit of his esteemed Last FM comrades. Tarmacians are slaves to progress and the maintenance of their systems and machines. Their economy is dependant on the introduction of the next car, the next and lightest lap top, the latest fashion accessory. Tarmacians are continually reminded that they need to spend their credits on consumer product in order to sustain happiness. Woofit visited a shopping emporium on Tarmac. The Tarmacians all looked miserable.

    Woofit, please post your Tarmacian observations elsewhere and give us real music fans a break from your juvenile Tarmacian rants. I get the message. I know that we are the Tarmacians. Now please go away and listen to the Stars of the Lid, perhaps for the first time?

    Close pals of Woofit will know that Woofit has recently returned from the Planet Tarmac and is recording his observations exclusively for the Last FM collective - Many Tarmacians have become obsessed with the cult of celebrity. There are some who long to be plucked out of obscurity and attain celebrity status. It has become increasingly difficult to define what is a celebrity on Tarmac as it is possible to ascend to the position of celebrity from association with a recognised and established celebrity or via reality television. This is of great concern to the elite celebrities who do not wish their elevated social status to be contaminated by what they consider to be under qualified , limited shelf life (just over 15 minutes in some cases) lesser celebrities.

    The elite or A list celebrities decided that they should define their status in terms of popularity and wealth , thus creating a recognised hierarchy for celebrities to adhere to. Lesser celebrities would know their place and would rarely encounter a celebrity from the upper echelons of fame. More recently lower status celebrities, particularly those of middle caste status have united with the lower caste celebrities and have taken direct and sometimes violent action to overthrow the elite celebrities. The response by the elite celebrities was to declare a state of emergency, introduce martial law and employ death squads to eliminate the ring leaders. It is not unknown on Tarmac for a lesser celebrity to be dragged out of a televised film or music award ceremony and unceremoniously shot.

    WoofWoofit has come "unstuck in time" and experiences past and future events out of sequence and repetitively, following a nonlinear narrative. He is kidnapped by extraterrestrial aliens from the planet Tralfamadore. They exhibit him in a zoo with B-movie starlet Montana Wildhack as his mate. The Tralfamadorians, who can see in four dimensions, have already seen every instant of their lives. They believe in predestination. They say they cannot choose to change anything about their fates, but can choose to concentrate upon any moment in their lives, and WoofWoofits becomes convinced of the correctness of their theories.

    Friends of Woofit will know that I have just returned from a clandestine data gathering expedition to the planet Tarmac. Tarmacian structures only exist to service the business, administration, consumer, leisure and accommodation needs of the species. The dominance of Tarmacian culture is not questioned by the majority of Tarmacians. No consideration to externalities is given unless an externality is close to breaking point and threatens to impede the progress of Tarmacian culture. The Tarmacians will then embark on a crusade to undo the damage they have done whilst claiming that they are saving the planet. Denial and lack of responsibility are powerful and dangerous weapons in the hands of the Tarmacians. Gord bless em.

    Woofit escapes into the Stars of the Lid. The Planet Tarmac is hostile at the best of times. The Tarmacians are destructive and in the process of destroying all of the natural habitats on their planet (they are deluded and think the planet is theirs). The Stars of the Lid could be instrumental in expanding Tarmacian minds and saving the planet from their aggressive and uninhibited expansionism. Tarmacian attire usually consists of Levi 501’s and turquoise polo shirts. The uniform of the middle aged man. Imagine a planet full of Jeremy Clarkson clones and you will get the picture. Woofit feels that he is in the company of kindred spirits on the Stars of the Lid page. All hail the Lid and long may they bless us with their beautiful soulful sounds. Woofit loves you all (unless you drive a car).
