Emily Haines - Knives Don’t Have Your Back - mp3 review
Here’s a great one for you guys. Guess what I did last night. Oh man, it was soooo fucking crazy. Left work, chugged a bottle of whiskey, saw like 10 bands at 5 different bars, went to this insane fashion party, drank like 10 free SPARKS, and danced with a room full of crazy post-op tranny’s. yeah it was fucking awesome. oh yeah, then I ate an egg salad sandwich.
actually none of that is true. the sad reality is that my wonderful night was spent entirely at insound working……
Walking back to the train though at 1am I noticed a poster on a museum window. The poster said “It is the familiar in life that eludes us. What is in front of our nose is what we notice last.” After reading it I stopped and thought about the thousands of times I walked past that window during the day on my way to and from work and never read that poster. Just thought it was funny.
“Emily Haines & the Soft Skeleton” is the solo project of Emily Haines of the Canadian indie pop group Metric. While I’ve never really been a Metric fan I’ve always thought she had one of the most amazing voices I’ve ever heard, and she’s mad hot. This is the girl who’s vocals are on the best Broken Social Scene track ever, ”Anthems Of A Seventeen Year Old Girl”. Don’t argue with me on that one, it just is. These tracks are from her debut album that will be released on Sept. 26th called “Knives Don’t Have Your Back” on “Last Gang Records”

I realize I’ve been sending out some pretty mellow/melancholy tracks lately, gimme some time with it though. otherwise I might be tempted to send some Dragon Force tracks or something like that. Besides today is a perfect day for these tracks, nice and grey and rainy here in the city.
