• Question of the day: If you had to send a Metric song into outer space in the hopes that aliens would hear it, what song would you chose and why?

Uh...."Twilight Galaxy" Hahaha. I feel like that's a cheap answer, but I stand by it. Feeling inspired by Alissa's usual multiple answers, I'm going to also choose "Love Is A Place". It's not my favorite Metric song, but it just has so much emotion, more than any other Metric song, I think.

"Black Sheep"
Because it kicks ass.
;D

haha actually the second I read the question I was like "DEAD DISCO" but then I didn't know why...(I couldn't immediately think of my rather eloquent justification I've found later on for "Black Sheep").
=P

I feel all pumped today for some reason! I wish I had a trampoline...
='(

Please, do ignore.

Dammit Ariel. You stole my cheap answer. HOW DARE YOU!!!!!

Anywho, I'd prolly go with Gimme Sympathy. It's very climactic and sincere. Actually, prolly I'd go with the acoustic version. Or maybe Hustle Rose. That breakdown is SICK!

"I feel all pumped today for some reason! I wish I had a trampoline..."

You're cute. Welcome to the world of ADHD. It's a lot better here. And we have cookies o.O

"And we have cookies"

Oooooh I'M SO THERE ALREADY!
Gosh, cookies are great, aren't they? Chocolate cookies are especially good. So yummy! *drools* I wish a had a plate of cookies AND a trampoline right now. I'm pretty positive my life would suck much less. Yeah. And baloons. I want some baloons also. But not animal-shaped, that's just sick.

Transformation completed.

P.S.: I ate too much sugar today.

Hahahahaha Alissa! Oh dear. Good faces though!

...Joey, if there's really cookies I'm there with you both.

I would have thought the obvious answer would be "Satellite Mind"...though "Twilight Galaxy" of course is on the mark too. I'd send it out for two reasons: one, the obvious lyrical pun - we'd be sending musical vibrations in their direction! - and two, it's still my favourite song off of Fantasies and I think aliens would appreciate the fantastic bass :)

So this is the question my brain came up with while cramming last night. Interesting.

As far as song choice Briggins, I would select the acoustic version of Live it Out. Its so beautiful. I'm all about showing aliens the sweeter side of humanity to avoid an aggressive takeover like all these crazy alien shows. (I watched V on Wedneday haha)
