Metric

A few nights ago I was flipping through Ivan's latest find (muxtape.com) and came across a song by Metric. I believe I've heard something by them before but for some reason it struck me more Tuesday night than ever before.

The song was Soft Rock Star. It is a catchy tune. I've been listening to them on Rhapsody this morning and I've decided they can now officially become part of my collection.

Favorite songs thus far:

- Soft Rock Star (Jimmy vs Joe Mix)
- Combat Baby
- Hardwire
- Police and the Private

I have to laugh at myself a bit. I used to be so annoyed by female artists. I still am very picky when it comes to female vocals but I have fallen in love with some of them (Rilo, Metric, Fine Frenzy, Ingrid Michaelson, Alicia Keys, etc). Yay for great music and talented people who share!

And we're live with muxtape! As an early adopter (I think) I was able to grab the much coveted by me link of popstar.muxtape.com for my url. This isn't really an up to date mix but I wanted to throw something out there.

So. the first edition is thus:
Dandy Warhols - Dandy's TV Theme song
Blur- Music is my radar
Jimmy Eat World - Here it goes
The Spinto Band - Oh Mandy
The Flaming Lips - W.A.N.D
Crooked Fingers - A little bleeding
Camera Obscura - Lloyd, I'm ready to be heartbroken
Rilo Kiley - Close Call
Radiohead - Reckoner
Jayhawks - Blue
Creeper Lagoon - Wrecking Ball
Delays - Slow burn

mmmmmmmm. goodness.
