WHEN WE STOP, MY HANDS WILL SHAKE

I discovered this a while ago but thought I would post it now because i've just recently been reminded of how good Emily Haines is, in whatever form she comes- (Broken Social Scene, Metric, Emily Haines and the Soft Skeleton.... )

The song 'Our Hell' off of 'Knives Don't Have Your Back', directed by Jaron Albertin.



Also check out the highly excellent 'Reading in Bed' Remixed by 65 Days of Static, and Telethon here
And from Metric, Monster Hospital. Gets you from the very first bam-chick-a-lang-chick-a-boom-boom-boom... also keep a look out for the MSTRKRFT remix.

and lastly...

UH HUH

Photobucket


Ahead of their 'Common Reaction' release date, UH HUH HER premiered their new music video for 'Not a Love Song' on MTV in America. You get the feeling they're going be huge and should be. Explode is one of those songs that come along every so often that makes your heart stop the first time you hear it, and then race to catch up with itself before you go listen to it again just to make sure it wasn't a palpitation. Huge i say. Huge.

Also be sure to check out the webisodes, all still streaming on their myspace (http://www.myspace.com/uhhuhhermusic) or here.

ps. here's the video...


LIGHT'S OUT

I discovered this this morning, and i've listened to it 12 times since...
check out the Diplo panda bear remix aswell.

HEART IT RACES

Dr. Dog covering Architecture in Helsinki's 'Heart it Races'. I love this mostly, though not solely, for the backing 'boom da da da da da da's'. spectacular.
