Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton Live in Washington

Metric's new album is pretty good -These acoustic versions of two of its tracks are, perhaps, even better.  If you haven't looked into Emily Haines' solo material, you should.  She's great. These stripped back tunes definitely come from that part of her brain.

Metric - "Gimme Sympathy"

Metric - "Help I'm Alive"

Metric - Fantasies (2009)
Gold Guns Girls

A rockin' song. Even though Emily Haines is a giant asshole, she tends to produce good music.
