I Love Femmy Shit

Metric are one of my favorite groups.  Some people dislike them with passion.  I think those people are a)full of shit and, b) probably have heard like 3 songs by them or not even 1.  And how could you not love Emily Haines? Have you ever even listened to the lyrics?  I don’t even know what she’s saying when she sings in French but I know it’s probably super great.

I’m so excited for their new album which is called Fantasies and comes out April 14th. It has been mixed by John O’Mahony who just won a Grammy for mixing Coldplay’s latest album.

They even have an documentary coming out on the making of this new album which will probably be awesome.

This first track is an acoustic version of the first single off the new album.  The second is from their last album.

Metric – Help I’m Alive (Acoustic)

Metric – Poster Of A Girl

Camera Obscura are also my favorites.  They played at Richards in Vancouver last year.  It was the best show ever and made me further fall in love with Tracyanne and Carey (Aren’t those great Scottish names?).  Don’t get me wrong, i love the other 3 guys in the band as well, just not in that way…….

They have a new album coming out April 20th.  It has been produced by Jari Haapalainen who mixed thier last album as well as Peter Bjorn & John’s, “Writers Block”.

They have given out a song from it.  It’s just delightful, and sounds as good as their last album which is best ever.

Camera Obscura – My Maudlin Career

And this is an Abba cover the band did.  Isn’t it dreamy?

Valentines Mix Tape

I have a Valentines mix tape that I made for the sloppy make-out party we are throwing, the Broken Hearts Ball.

It’s not too sappy… It has a bit of anti valentines stuff along with some sweetheart stuff to make you feel warm and fuzzy.
