A Million Trillion Stars (2009) is the second studio album by electronic duo Boomkat. On June 3, 2008 the album became available in online stores, but was officially released on March 10, 2009. The album was originally planned to be released on December 16, 2008, but was pushed back. Tracks from the album were posted on Taryn Manning's MySpace page and iTunes, but the album became fully available on their new website in early June 2008. Two singles, called "Run Away" and "Run Boy" have been released off the album. "Run Away" single appears in the studio album, as well as in the Runaway EP.
Stars are Boomkat's trademark, as "stars" are mentioned in the album title and also seen on the cover. When Manning is performing with her band, she wears stars around her eyes to separate "the actress Taryn from the singer Taryn."
Boomkat's 5th music video from the album premiered on MySpace on Wednesday February 17, 2010. The music video tells a story about Taryn's childhood. "In the video, I have a young girl who has nowhere to go and she’s sort of lost and lonely and sad. We dedicated it to my father who died quite a long ago and there’s pictures of him in it", she explained.

Famous quotes containing the words million, trillion and/or stars:
“Apart from their other characteristics, the outstanding thing about China’s 600 million people is that they are “poor and blank.” This may seem a bad thing, but in reality it is a good thing. Poverty gives rise to the desire for change, the desire for action and the desire for revolution. On a blank sheet of paper free from any mark, the freshest and most beautiful pictures can be painted.”
—Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
“The last best hope of earth, two trillion dollars in debt, is spinning out of control, and all we can do is stare at a flickering cathode-ray tube as Ollie “answers” questions on TV while the press, resolutely irrelevant as ever, asks politicians if they have committed adultery. From V-J Day 1945 to this has been, my fellow countrymen, a perfect nightmare.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
“The sage as astronomer.—As long as you still experience the stars as something “above you,” you still lack viewpoint of knowledge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
