  This is one of my favourite Metric songs. Top 5 for sure. Love Emily's vocals in it, I think it is one of her strongest and best sounding vocal parts. Just the pitch, the pronunciation, and pronoun use. (I just wanted to say something else starting with P at the end there).

  Although sometimes the drums through me off because they sound like Sunday Bloody Sunday by U2 at times.

  Also love Jimmy's vocal part. A song that has male and female vocal parts that work so well together like that are my fav.

  Sweet potatoes are one of my least favourite foods. I don't like the taste at all. But I'm a big fan of cow juice.

  I haven't been very awesome lately. The question of the day is becoming more and more sporadic. But I'm going to see Owen Pallett tonight woo!

  Question of the day: Do you think any Metric songs would sound awesome with an orchestra?

  ^Thats a good suggestion.
  I'm an International Development major, so I've kind of grown sick of people always bashing everything when it comes to development yet not offering any solutions or suggestions in return, you know what I mean?

  I think if people want to help that is a great first step and then educating comes next.

  I don't really have a problem with people buying the shirts. First of all take a look at who the majority of Metric fans are. They are people in the 15-25 year old age bracket. My guess is that these people while sure they have disposable income are not the ones that are used to donating to NGOs and other aid organizations.
  $9.00 of each shirt is going to the Red Cross...and if people are looking to buy merchandise anyways, why not give them the option to make a purchase that will also help out with a ...

  @Ariel They should just hire me as an unofficial official news bearer for the Front Row community :P

  And yes, the time is now. And like LazyD said, You Forgot It In People is the perfect album to get you hooked. The whole thing is flawless. Like every second of the album.

  I've been somewhat brainstorming over the past few hours as I avoid schoolwork.
  Is there someway we could incorporate a theme from Stadium Love? Some sort of template we could make and each of us write a personal note/decorate it how we want?

  Question of the Day: All right folks, this is the big one. What is something completely awesome that we could do for Metric as a way of saying thanks for the great record they gave us the last year, the great tours they've been doing, and well for just being Metric. I know last year on a Coldplay forum I'm part of, they sent postcards to the band. So something along those lines, something we could physically give them. We could talk to Lana and get an address to send stuff to I'm sure, but it would ...

  Yeah! Thanks for turning a non-question into a question. When I started off it was easy to make questions, but it gets harder as time passes.

  Reading all these dreams entertained me greatly.

  Look at that, we've reached 500 members!

  I had a Metric dream last night, it was so random. Both Emily and Jimmy were at my house in it. I was doing a drawing of Emily with al this weird lighting and shadows that I set up...and then in the living room Jimmy was talking to a bunch of people about bass players. It was weird, but I was happy when I woke up.

  I'm not sure if I'm going to get one or not. I mean shipping basically doubles the order price....
