  • Question of the day: You have come across a large sum of money. Naturally you enjoy eating. Naturally you enjoy Metric. So naturally you create a restaurant that is Metric themed.

    What would you name it?

    p.s. we're making the menu tomorrow.

    I'm looking forward to it. Broken Social Scene, Stars, Caribou, Zeus, Jason Collett, possibly Arcade Fire.....this is a good year for Canadian music!

  • Ittssss Metric Monday! The day of the week where we focus on one Metric song and talk about what we love about it, what our favourite line is from it, what we don't like about it, etc.

    And also I'll try to get some answers about the Plug In Plug Out EP. Grrrr

    I wasn't unfortunately. I would have loved to been able to do a roadtrip to Toronto for CMW.

    I was pumped that the Rural Alberta Advantage won that rising star award. They are pretty tight.

    As long as they don't make a "safe" album I'll be happy. But something tells me they wouldn't go all mainstream on us despite how well Fantasies has been accepted by more mainstream type of places.

  • Congrats to Metric for winning Favourite Album of the Year at the Indies last night!

  • Question of the Day: What sort of direction do you hope Metric goes with their fifth album?

  • Briggins commented on a link by LazyDancer on Mar 15th.

    Awesome news!
    I'm going to try super hard to meet Emily and Co. before or after the show in April. If so I'll try to find out more info about a new album. :D

  • Question of the day: With festival lineups being announced this time of the year, who would play at your ultimate festival? How long would it be, where, what bands, etc.

  • Briggins commented on a post by Gerard on Mar 8th.

    If its not out by April 14th I am heckling the WHOLE show. I will not stop yelling Free Bird until it is released!

    Glad you like the comment. I want a signed copy of Fantasies! haha

    Frown. :(

  • Briggins commented on a post by Briggins on Mar 2nd.

    I'm with Joey on this one in terms of how much it sucks.

    I'm not sure where this ranks in my Metric favourites list, but top 5 for sure. I love the whole song. Although the repetition can drive me crazy sometimes, but I think thats because I'm just so excited for what comes later on in the song.
    I love the lyrics throughout, especially the keep the dream tight part. I'm so glad they chose to put that line on their Yellow Bird Project t-shirt.

    Its one of those songs that if you're standing ...

    Haha, Joey, I'm just picturing whenever the national anthem starts up everybody starts jumping around and cheering instead of just standing at attention.

  • Briggins commented on a photo by LazyDancer on Feb 25th.

    I want to play the put-a-caption-on-this-picture game with this one.

  • Question of the Day: If the instrumental of one Metric song had to replace your national anthem what would it be?

  • Briggins commented on a post by Joeyishellagood on Feb 24th.

    Once you go Mac you never go back!

  • Briggins commented on a post by Briggins on Feb 24th.

    I'd just throw them all in a four man bobsled just because.

  • Question of the day: If you could place each member of Metric in an olympic even which one would it be and why?
