no idea, but it has more than a twang.
i don't mind it or anything, just think she could do a lot better.

"The white dove is gone, the one world has come down hard, so why not share the pain of our problems, when all around are wrong ways, when all around is hurt, i'll roll up in an odd shape and wait, untill the tide has turned.....with anger, i'm dead weight, i'm anchored"- IME, God Rocket (Into the Heart of Las Vegas) ^ Some say this song is about a terrorists thoughts before 911

I felt it in the wind, and i saw it in the sky, i thought it was the end, i thought it was the 4th of July.

There are much better things to check out if you like folksy stuff, like, well, real folk music, for starters. Nick Drake, Phil Ochs, Vashti Bunyan, and Bob Dylan are good starters, and for a more contemporary take on the folk music, go with Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Cyann & Ben, Devendra Banhart, M. Ward (especially M. Ward), or Okkervil River.
I'm just taking a stab in the dark when I say that these people have a better feel for folk music, as it's actually what they're known for and all.
Alan out.
changed your opinion on Amy Millan's new CD Alan?

I've enjoyed the album so far. She deserves her own thread but oh well. her album feels a lot like Sarah Harmer's "all of our names" album, where there's one really stand out single and the rest is very laid back. I see it more as background music than music that you would really get into and listen intently and all that.
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

I stand by my earlier opinion that Emily's is gonna be better then Amy's. Amy's wasn't that great, it was good but meh.
New emily stuff around too.

Emily Haines of Metric Reveals New Song, Dates
Written over four years, in various cities, before and after the death of a parent and during a hectic touring schedule, Knives Don't Have Your Back, the forthcoming solo debut by Metric's Emily Haines, is nothing if not a long time coming.
Though the full-length isn't due out until September 26 on Last Gang Records, fans can temporarily satisfy their appetites with an exclusive stream of the airy, piano-backed "Our Hell" by clicking on the link below.
Before the release of Knives, Haines will play shows in a few select cities, accompanied by a rotating group of musicians dubbed the Soft Skeleton. In Toronto, the Soft Skeleton band will consist of the Tokai String Quartet and a horn section of Jimmy Shaw (Broken Social Scene, Metric), Evan Cranley (Stars, Broken Social Scene), and Chris Seligman (Stars). Elsewhere, Haines will be backed by Sparklehorse drummer Scott Minor and bassist Paul Dillon.
For her stint at the Toronto International Film Festival, Haines will incorporate images by indie filmmaker Guy Maddin in a special multimedia presentation.
We have your back on those show dates:
09-12 Toronto, Ontario - Toronto International Film Festival (Venue TBA)
09-18 Montreal, Quebec - Le National
09-19 New York, NY - Joe's Pub
09-21 Los Angeles, CA - Venue TBA
09-22 San Francisco, CA - Café du Nord
Haines isn't abandoning her main band just yet. Metric have several shows scheduled for August and September, including a few festival appearances.
Dates:
08-25 Leeds, England - Leeds Festival
08-27 Reading, England - Reading Festival
09-02 Montreal, Quebec - Osheaga
09-03 Victoria, British Columbia - Open Air Centennial Square

The album leaked awhile ago. I'm finally getting around to listening to it now. It's very melancholy and plodding. I'll understand if a lot of Metric fans don't take to this. The first four songs hold up well enough to me though. But it's more mood music, not something you can listen to whenever you want. Good background music or when you're sleepy.
