Aussies are always the last to know. Being so far down under and all, it takes awhile for music to trickle down to you guys. razz

New album due in 2008! smile

When I first read about Emily's solo album, I thought I would love it, being described as dark piano ballads, but then I listened to samples and it didn't do anything for me. The music was nice enough, but I don't like how her voice sounds naked like that.

I've heard about 4 tracks off it, but it says "black metal" as the music genre confuse why mislead like that?

I saw the video for "Monster Hospital" on MTV last year. That was how I found out about them. I only watch MTV one hour a week for their alternative video show. That show has turned me on to a lot of bands.

Maybe that's her cute way of saying her music is unclassifiable?

There will be no more free to air television in the U.S. in the next two years. All people that watch TV through rabbit ears antennae will be SOL.

Metric are a Toronto band. Emily Haines is eminently boneable, but I find their music way-pretentious.

But that's just me. shrug
