As was the case with Sarah Shannon's two solo albums (a self titled debut in 2002 and City Morning Song five years later), her first post-Velocity Girl venture, Starry Eyes, was met with precious little fanfare. It's a shame, because with VG alumni Jim Spellman (on guitars) and Kelly Riles (bass) in tow, along with percussionist Nick Pellicciotto, the D.C.-era quartet brought forth a taut ep of straight-laced guitar pop. Perhaps not as sophisticated as VG's last couple of albums, the leaner tendencies of Starry Eyes ably suit the four songs ensconced within. Shannon penned "Getting Over My Surprise" (featuring special-guest guitarist, Brian Baker of all folks!), with Spellmen composing the remaining three. As far as I know, this disk was Starry Eyes opening salvo, and for better or worse, parting shot.01. Disappear

Saw the one Starry Eyes show long ago at the Black Cat in DC (as well as the last two Velocity Girl shows ever). Those were great shows. Was wearing my Starry Eyes t-shirt today, which made me google search them and I found this blog.
Does anyone by any chance have Starry Eyes' My Revenge? I had that EP and it got lost and now I can't find it anywhere, Julian Ocean just recorded a version of My Revenge, but is nowhere near the original one from Starry Eyes, great music!
Can anyone re-up the EP please?
I've been looking for this off and on, for years.
