Sick Muse Video

So Metric has a new video for Sick Muse. Kind of feel like they got drunk and were like "hey, wanna shoot a music video?" Not really. I love them and Emily Haines is sahhhhhhh hawwwwwwwwwwt. fuk. Also, makes me less self conscious about my albino-esque paleness.

Live it Out

So I really love the acoustic version of Live it Out. The one on the album is still wonderful...cause it's Metric, but the acoustic version that they play at a lot of their shows is just mind blowing, maybe cause you really listen to the lyrics when it's slowed down. Sucks that I can't find it anywhere on the world wide web! They should make it a bonus track on their next album IMO.

On the day we were supposed to leave
You changed your mind at the station
You had a nice apartment
There was a good bar downstairs
Your old friend worked there

I'll go anyway, I'll go anyway
They won't refund the ticket
It's a good story

But I don't want to live it alone
Crash to take a chance
I wanna live it out
Look at you, I know I'm already dead
No concrete adversity
Only traps of our own actions
How we wanted it to be
Now I'm never gonna see you again
You turned off

Vertabrae by vertebrae
Roll your way out of a coma
Look up, the nurse is smiling
What luck, the nurse is me
Your old body is dead
Your body's dead, you're a word instead
In my sleep I repeat it
It's a good story

But I don't want to live it alone
Crash to take a chance
We were gonna live it out
Look at you, you're already dead
How will you remember me
Digging ditches out of boredom
Said you would never leave
Now you're never gonna be here again
You checked out

Dum dum dum dum dum
Sha la la la la
Dum dum dum dum dum

Fantasies and Malajube

So. New Metric is really good. I love it. I don't know if I'm just biased because of my overwhelming crush on Emily Haines, but Metric can do no wrong. Saw them at the Civic Centre last week and they sounded amazing! I didn't think she would actually be able to hit some of notes like she does on the album, but I was painfully wrong. And her stage presence is ridiculous, she's definitely abusing the minidress. Oddly, they didn't play Help, I'm Alive. I think my favourite songs from the album are Collect Call and Stadium Love. I want her life.

They did a really amazing version of Live it Out for the encore.

Malajube also played and I really enjoy them even though I have no idea what the fuck they're singing about. They're definitely worth listening to.

And Bedouin Soundclash played, but I'm not really a fan. They sounded just like they do on the radio, so I guess that's good.

So now I'll get back to my essay.
