I KNOW YOU FEEL IT TOO

There has been alot of good albums out this year but there are a few I'm still waiting on. Most will probably be edging in on 2010 for a release date (LCD Soundsystem, New Young Pony Club) but there is some brightness in our near futures. Tegan and Sara's follow up to 2007's The Con, Sainthood is due for release on the 27th of October and even nearer than that, first single Hell has just been released on iTunes.


Tegan and Sara - Hell

For more on Tegan and Sara you can check out their well updated and often highly amusing website or follow them on twitter. And if you're still hankering for more they feature on a track on Tiesto's new album Kaleidoscope, released today, called Feel it in my bones. Tiesto's a bit too trance nation-y for me personally but it's a pretty nifty song - Kaleidoscope also features Jonsi Birgisson of Sigur Ros and Emily Haines... worth checking out for those names alone.

THE ESCAPADES OF EMILY HAINES

Sorry for the lack of updates lately, times are busy but there will be a bigger post later this weekend... but for now ...

This wasn't initially going to be an Emily Haines centric post, but she would seem to be the common element. First comes the video for Games for Days, from Interpol front man Paul Banks' new project, Julian Plenti. The album Julian Plenti is... Skyscraper is out now. Anybody with an appreciation for Interpol should have a listen, similarities are many.



Secondly comes The Crystal Method, I know very little about this band other than this song has been stuck in my head for a week now...


The Crystal Method feat. Emily Haines - Come Back Clean

HELP I'M ALIVE

Really honest interview, and a really beautiful song from Emily Haines and Metric.



It's been three years since their last album 'Live It Out', expect Metric's new record some time early 2009. To be the first to find out when, sign up here.

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.
