It is interesting to read all of the discussions about the b-side material so to speak and also good for us to gauge what we should do for future singles. As it is mainly dedicated fans who buy singles we try and put something there for everone as you all like different things.
There have been quite e few requests for some songs from our live show that didn't make the album so we will include on the next single the first of these.
'We Go Out' will be on our forthcoming single 'Star' and we hope to have 'Rock Me' ready for the next one, pretty sure that's not going to be a problem though. The singles may also include accoustic versions or remixes ( a little more in-house this time)
In case you were wondering why we include remixes it is because they present the song in a different format which in turn can mean radio play on a station that would never usually play that material. It is also a great format for film placement which is invaluable exposure.
Will be interested to see your replies.

Everytime we think about the next single there seem to be a lot of choices which is a great position to be in

ps will think about that accoustic version of 'One More Day'

i'm glad star is the next single - especially after taken! no offense.. i think it was on coca cola rtr or whatever.. that boh said the new album was more 'rock' than the last. all it takes was alright.. star holds true to her statement far better.

with this in mind i feel star will get more recognition, from my point of view at least. personally i dislike those slow flimsy songs. unfortunately most good bands have at least one of these - fiona mcdonald: 'i don't care' and 'anything'. strawpeople: somebody else' and a few others of theirs i think. and stellar:taken. to mention a few

still, their other songs make up for these! hehe

hmmmmm i might even go buy the star single when its out..

It means a lot to your fans that you listen to us, and take our opinion seriously. You deserve all the success you get.

oh and thanks for thinking about the acoustic version of "one more day" ... it's a great song, and any alternate version would be absolutely wonderful because as much as I want it to be, everyone else is telling me it will never be a single, even tho it is a fav of many people on "magic line"

I would also like to see One more day as a single, think its the stand out track on magic line. I don't like the idea of an acoustic version though. The songs got such great energy that I think it would be better captured on a live version.

I do think 'We Go Out' will go down very well on the single of 'Star', but maybe it'd be a good idea to play it live a couple more times, as that was what you guys did with 'sorry', and 'california', was it not? it might be a pleasant surprise to sum ppl to hear it recorded, and vice versa with live.

Star is an excellent choice for a single, but it would also be cool if you could put a version with that intro bit, that plays live, when you guys are walking on stage...? i love that intro! so glorious!

I think thats a tad unfair calling taken a flimsy, slow song. Taken is a song thats in the middle of stellar*s rocky songs, and their slower, somber songs. It really shows off Boh's sexy song writing techniques, and the new sound that magic line has to offer.
And i've listened to those songs you listed as slow, flimsy songs aswell, and boy oh boy, its insulting to stellar* to compare a beautiful song like taken to a song like 'i don't care' by fi mcdonald. ...."I don't care about music...." - bad move putting those lyrics in your song! tut tut

anyways, i am glad stellar* are still stumbling round the boards, and listenin to our advice! ka pai
