This is my super most favorite image to use when I get behind on posts. Pretty much speaks for itself, no? As much as it pains me to not devote full posts to those who willingly submit their music for review, in order to bring you the best and brightest in a [somewhat] timely fashion, please enjoy this lengthy post of many many quality tracks, with a bit of my ramblings in betwixt. The ima...
It's been a hot second since Metric's last album Monster Hospital (which was a pretty solid album). They've just announced a new tour (check the dates after the jump) called the "Help, I'm Alive Tour" and features Tokyo Police Club, The Dears, and Sebastien Grainger and the Mountains. The first single off their [...]
One of my most Trusted MOGgers (Hi, poeby!) followed a link to an older post and marveled at the provocative nature of the subject matter and the thoughtful give-and-take in the thread. Then she asked, "Whatever happened to this kind of post at MOG?" So I floated a couple of theories.Maybe the core group of MOGgers - the initial wave - covered so many bases in our first couple of years at MOG t...
Japanese DJs, 80kidz, have added their touch to Metric's hit "Help I'm Alive."

Take Metric's original and add 80kidz' catchy synth loops and bouncy drums and you ...
Let me preface this review by saying that I’ve been obsessed with Metric/Emily Haines since high school. I once saw them three times in the span of 8 months. All my flickr photos of her have some sort of love-professing comment. I don’t care about the almost unanimous internet agreement on Emily being an uber-bitch. [...]No related posts. Sorry.

I'm a latecomer to this band, but whoo boy, I'm addicted now. This particular song has zoomed into my Hot 100, also known as the songs that fit onto my MP3 player.
Metric left us fighting the war, the war that wouldn’t stop for the love of God.It has been 4 years since their 2005 release Live It Out which left the world reeling.The past few months have been good to us with the full album of Metric’s new album Fantasies in our hands with the beautiful [...]

Metric's Fantasies is one my favorite albums from 2009, so far. Emily Haines is just fantastic -- and in this slow burner asks the musical question "Who would you rather be . . . the Beatles or the Rolling Stones?"
