I always felt that METRIC are a stellar live band, but it's so great to see them perform what are easily the best<em> songs</em> of their career so far. <em>Fantasies</em>&nbsp;is full of incredibly rich songs, both lyrically and melodically. Two songs for me are battling it out for the fictional Pop Song Bridge Of The Year Award - <em>Twilight Galaxy </em>and<em> Collect Call.</em> Both we're performed immaculately last night, with Emily in great voice, moving through the slippery bridges with confident panache. &nbsp;What more can I say - I love Metric - and I urge you all to check out <em>Fantasies</em>. &nbsp;Big thanks again to Jimmy and the Band for an amazing night.<br> <div class="emvideo emvideo-video emvideo-youtube"><div class="emfield-emvideo emfield-emvideo-youtube"> <div id="emvideo-youtube-flash-wrapper-1"><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="320" width="526" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZBmeIa1wXFI&amp;rel=0&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;playerapiid=ytplayer&amp;fs=1" id="emvideo-youtube-flash-1"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZBmeIa1wXFI&amp;rel=0&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;playerapiid=ytplayer&amp;fs=1" /> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain"/> <param name="quality" value="best"/> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/> <param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"/> <param name="scale" value="noScale"/> <param name="salign" value="TL"/> <param name="FlashVars" value="playerMode=embedded" /> <param name="wmode" value="transparent" /> </object></div></div></div> <div class="right-box-footer-left share"> </div> <br> <div style="clear:both"></div> <div id="disqus_thread"></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://disqus.com/forums/bnl/embed.js"></script><noscript><a href="http://disqus.com/forums/bnl/?url=ref">View the discussion thread.</a></noscript><a href="http://disqus.com" class="dsq-brlink">blog comments powered by <span class="logo-disqus">Disqus</span></a> </div> </div> <div style="clear:both"></div> Music That's Not Ours Rock Shows Fri, 23 Oct 2009 03:42:40 +0000 Tyler 4039 at http://barenakedladies.com http://barenakedladies.com/blog/tyler/200910/01-were-getting-there <div class="right-box"> <div id="white-box-header" class="right-box-header"></div> <div id="white-box-content" class="right-box-content"> <div class="heading1 tyler"> We&#039;re Getting There... </div> <div class="subheading1 tyler"> posted by <a href="/blog/tyler">Tyler</a> on October 1, 2009 in <a href='/category/blog-categories/new-album'>New Album</a>, <a href='/category/blog-categories/news'>News</a>, <a href='/category/blog-categories/rehearsal'>Rehearsal</a>, <a href='/category/blog-categories/update'>Update</a>, <a href='/category/blog-categories/video'>Video</a> </div> <p>&nbsp;Yes we're still chomping at the bit over here at BNL headquarters. We're putting the finishing touches on the new CD, and we're looking at a very early 2010 release. &nbsp;Sorry for the delay, again, but we want to make sure everything is just right for the re-launch of this 20 year-old rock and roll ensemble. Here's Ed to tell you a bit more, and a sneak peak at our recent rehearsals. &nbsp;Thanks for stickin' with us, Peeps.</p> <br> <div class="emvideo emvideo-video emvideo-youtube"><div class="emfield-emvideo emfield-emvideo-youtube"> <div id="emvideo-youtube-flash-wrapper-2"><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="320" width="526" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/wbJK68sRweQ&amp;rel=0&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;playerapiid=ytplayer&amp;fs=1" id="emvideo-youtube-flash-2"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/wbJK68sRweQ&amp;rel=0&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;playerapiid=ytplayer&amp;fs=1" /> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain"/> <param name="quality" value="best"/> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/> <param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"/> <param name="scale" value="noScale"/> <param name="salign" value="TL"/> <param name="FlashVars" value="playerMode=embedded" /> <param name="wmode" value="transparent" /> </object></div></div></div> <div class="right-box-footer-left share"> </div> <br> <div style="clear:both"></div> <div id="disqus_thread"></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://disqus.com/forums/bnl/embed.js"></script><noscript><a href="http://disqus.com/forums/bnl/?url=ref">View the discussion thread.</a></noscript><a href="http://disqus.com" class="dsq-brlink">blog comments powered by <span class="logo-disqus">Disqus</span></a> </div> </div> <div style="clear:both"></div> New Album News Rehearsal Update Video Fri, 02 Oct 2009 02:25:46 +0000 Tyler 3440 at http://barenakedladies.com
