  Alright FrontRowers,

  We've been TOTALLY dead lately, and I think we need some sort of Team Metric bonding project, as well as a way to express our evergrowing love for this excellent and musically talented group of people. So, I'm thinking...let's do our own "Hollywood In Cambodia"-style collaboration then send it off to the band!

  (for those of you out of the loop, click on "Store" then click on the "Hollywood In Cambodia" link that's with the deluxe edition of "Fantasies" - Emily's words are better explanation than mine would be)

  I don't ...

  AHHHHHHHH lovely, just lovely! And I love that Jimmy remembered you! I can only hope I get the same if (PLEASE whatever religious figure is up there!) I get the chance to meet them again...we'll see if Emily remembers my iPod signing neurosis haha, though I think I may have better luck if I just wear the shirt again. They're both such good people!

  AND HUSTLE ROSE...that's like the Holy Grail of live Metric songs! Sooooo jealous! Happy for you though :)

  Hahaha SO many of us are out there! It's hit the point that if I hear the word "Metric" in ANY conversation, I stop and listen. I stop every person I see in Metric merch to discuss with them how amazing the band is. And I've had the chance to meet awesome people from all over the world who share the same - let's be honest here - obsession as I do haha. Case in point: Joey this summer! Along with a ton of others haha. So like I said, we're here!

  That's totally how I feel! I've actually got money aside specifically so if she plays a show with her solo stuff ANYWHERE in North America, I'm going. It's definitely a life goal haha. She's brilliant.

  One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, no exaggeration.

  The Forum is just overwhelming to me! I feel like I can't keep up enough to be a regular. I do love everyone I've met off of there, and I mean for the most part it seems to adhere to my general rule of Metric people being some of the best people I've been lucky enough to know. And yes, they all have great taste in music haha.

  Joey, I think you should just become an occasional participant. Or lurk - I did that for a few months before FrontRow enviously because I didn't figure out how ...

  Joey you're awesome hahaha, I honestly laughed out loud! Side note though, I could never even dare to understudy Emily - admire from a reverent distance is more like. I do plan to use the right of my day of birth to force my entire family to listen to Metric and only Metric for the rest of the day, ALMOST as fun as erotic pictures I think :) And thanks patty too!

  Thompson I'm jealous! I'd love to have another Metric show in the wings, but no such luck right now :( As for the spam, you're right patty...Lana, just putting it out there - you need someone to take down the spam, let me know haha!

  Yeah, I feel very much the same way. I think the whole "Rock Band" thing is a cool step for Metric; it's taking a song we all already knew and loved and offering another way to interact with the music. It shouldn't even irk those people who are so concerned with ...

  Metric community, it makes me sad that we are so dead! I know you guys on the Forum are still alive and well but I think Frontrow needs a resurgence.

  So, in a question-of-the-day spirit (while not being a real question-of-the-day because it doesn't come from Briggins): what do you all think of "Combat Baby" being included on Rock Band 3?

  Haha thanks Joey! We're all thinking it anyways...and we do mean it!

  "Now our lives are changing fast / Hope that something pure can last"

  Even to all of us on the outside, that seems to be exactly what's going on for you all. Here's to those changes only being for the better! And that you remain pure in that "the word indie [never] leaves the context of Metric" (as Jimmy said post-Junos). We love you guys.

  Black Sheep is Metric with a snarl. Couldn't have been happier than to see it on the big screen!

  It's not so much a commercial for Wal-Mart as it is a commercial for Metric. Although it's clearly to push Wal-Mart and Axe, it's actually a pretty sweet interview with Jimmy and Emily about a lot of the good things we love about them. I'm with Jimmy as a fan who (while trying to hold off selfishness that they're not special to just me anymore haha) is excited people are actually catching on to good music that is really good! "If you don't like what's on the radio, chance what's on the ...

  I'm glad you added that clarification Joey haha. If I suddenly come into an unexpected amount of money I may still be making the trip down for BSS!

  Seriously, just go! You'll so regret it if you don't. I've gone to concerts alone before, I'll admit, and seconds after the music starts it's totally worth it. DO IT ANYWAYS!

  Um, yeah. I just want a still of her leaning against the piano at the end that I can show to people to be like "SEE! Isn't EVERYTHING about her awesome!?" She seemed more confident than usual behind a piano too :)

  I drove through there today...I can't believe that's basically two Metric shows I can consider missed on this trip. It would have been worth a drive by at the VERY least!
