More Metric

I think we've already discussed my obsession with Metric. I am still obsessed. In fact, they keep getting better and better. Here's a song from the Scott Pilgrim vs. the World Soundtrack, with footage from Metric's performance at Comic-Con. Very apropos.

Black Sheep, by Metric:

Help, I'm Alive

This has been out for ages, but I didn't realize it was the official video. Metric's Fantasies was one of the best albums of 2009, in my opinion.

Metric, Help I'm Alive:

Dresses

These videos don't really have anything to do with each other, except they feature dresses I think would be fun to wear. And the lead singers are cute.

Metric, "Sick Muse:"


Also, I think they (Metric) might have just gotten drunk and had fun in front of the camera.

Ok, on to The Noisettes, "Never Forget You:"

Emily Haines and Metric

I really like Metric (they're Canadian, eh?) and they have a new album coming out...yesterday, I think! I should go and pick it up from my new favorite local music store, Slowtrain.

Anyway, Metric is a little on the pop-ish side of things, but I tend to gravitate toward upbeat, catchy music. They've put out a couple of albums now. Emily Haines, the lead singer, put out a solo album in 2006, which included this song:

Emily Haines, "Our Hell:"

My hands will shake, my eyes will burn
My throat will ache, watching you turn
From me toward your friends

Wow, that video is creepy. I really like the way it was filmed, although I'm not sure what's up with the pig mask or the clown. Now, let's pick up the tempo a bit.

Metric, "Gimme Sympathy:"


This video isn't all that creative, but it reinforces the small crush I already had on Emily Haines...
