Stars Forever

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The album Stars Forever (Le Grand Magistery 61665-60010-2) (1999) was created by Momus partly as a way of raising money from his legal costs, the most recent lawsuit filed by Wendy Carlos but dismissed, and partly to further his exploration of postmodern music making, identity, and aesthetics. Momus wrote thirty songs about every person or group who commissioned a song at the price of $1,000. "Patrons" include artist Jeff Koons and two year old animator/superhero Noah Brill. Stars Forever also features the winners of a karaoke contest started on the album The Little Red Songbook (1998) which featured the song "Walter Carlos", which postulated that Wendy could travel back in time to marry Walter, and led to Carlos' lawsuit. A few of the 30 commissioned songs were given away for free. One of these songs was given to Brent Busboom, who conducted Momus's first U.S. interview.
