Yeah, if I wasn't going to be at camp I would have had more of an incentive to go. I would love to see Hey Rosetta! again, Plants and Animals, and the Hip. I'm going to try to win tickets.

Regarding Summersonic, I'm not sure. You'd think they would have made an announcement by now if it were happening. Maybe all the other concerts in the city this year have pushed it aside?

i've said this before and i'll say it again I LOVE METRIC!! i've been watching their videos lately and how freken HOT IS emily haines. she better watch out when they tour down here in october. fan-boy-groupie-number -one right here.

Now why the heck are you comparing Metric to Broken Social Scene and Feist?

They're nothing alike. At all.

I like all of 'em though.
Then again, I like a lot. Too much actually.

^^

you can never like too much music.

TechnicolorGreenEyes · 08-06-2009, 12:57 PM

Yes you can.

the style that Metric plays compared to BSS is far different. There really is no comparison. BSS is very ambient and random at times, very alternative almost shoe-gazing music, however Metric is the best pop-rock or indie-pop band in Canada. Feist there is a little more comparison however her music is a little more folk compared to Metric

TechnicolorGreenEyes · 08-06-2009, 01:53 PM

Metric are like Phoenix

however i find metric more enjoyable because Emily is the best!

TechnicolorGreenEyes · 08-06-2009, 02:03 PM

Yeah her voice is awesome, it was the thing that drew me in, in the first place.

w1ll1am7 · 08-06-2009, 02:16 PM

exactly, have you heard her solo album?
her and a piano more or less, it's wonderful

TechnicolorGreenEyes · 08-06-2009, 02:16 PM

I heard "Crowdsurf Off a Cliff" it was lovely

w1ll1am7 · 08-06-2009, 02:33 PM

listen to the full record, Dr. Blind is another good one too

I really want to get my hands on her solo album. What I've heard from it I've loved.

I would take emily over leslie feist any day.

but then i am biased since i've been to emily's solo gigs twice and never saw feist

i love her EP more than the full length though...
and i love metric's first record , as with 2nd and 3rd, i think the latest one is a bit too rock-ish for me but still cool!
