Finally got to see my favorite Canadian rockers Metric in concert last night - I've been fans of theirs for a very long time but somehow they kept eluding me live. Thankfully after all this pent-up build-up they didn't disappoint in the slightest - they put on a smashing show, quite smashing! Emily Haines is a show-woman of the highest caliber, shimmying around in her short shorts, and the band, they can play.
You can't really beat seeing a show at Radio City, period - I took some video and it's not the closest video I've ever shot but what it lacks in Emily Haines upskirts it more than makes up for with sound. The sound in RC is so so good. Up top that's the band performing what is probably my favorite song of theirs, "Black Sheep" from the Scott Pilgrim soundtrack. Here below is video of them singing their new song "Youth Without Youth," and then oh wait what is this is that a cover of Velvet Underground's "Pale Blue Eyes" as a duet with special guest Lou Reed? Why yes it fucking is. (Incredible.)

Was Lou Reed also there for Wanderlust, or was Pale Blue Eyes the only song they did together? Dying to know. Also, Eeeeeee! So Jealous! They are on my "bands to see before I keel over" bucket list.
Yeah he did "Wanderlust" too, I only recorded the one though. It ruled.
No argument there. That was awesome. Did I mention I was jealous?
