In the wake of legal and financial difficulties caused by the previous Momus album, Stars Forever was constructed as a way out of those woes. 30 songs about 30 people who each gave $1000 to have their likeness rendered in song by Momus. Such influential artists as Keigo Oyamada (aka Cornelius) and Jeff Koons (pop artist par exultance) paid dearly for this honor. Also in the mix is the super group the Minus 5, record stores Other Music and Reckless Records, internet discussion group the Indiepop List, and many more. Also includes 8 winners of the Momus Karaoke Parody Contest and a 21 minute interview with Momus about the concept and creation of this album.
