…..if you’re not knowin’, that is.

Wow, all of July without a post. Either I’m so boring that nothing interesting’s happened to me, or I’m so cool and exciting that I’ve just had no time to write all about it. Anyway, I’m posting today mostly to enthuse about Metric and their album “Old World Underground” that was recently recommended to be by my good friend Animal. I think he sent it to me a little over a week ago, possibly on a Thursday. I must have heard it straight through a hundred times since then, it’s that good.

It’s so good, in fact, that I’m in a quandary. I want to have Ani’s babies for introducing me to this very cool album, and I also want to have Emily Haines’ babies because her voice is like liquid sex, but I can only have one baby at a time. You see my dilemma.

In other music news, I’m totally unimpressed with the Foo Fighters’ new Album, “In Your Honour”. There are about four enjoyable songs and one excellent track, which is pretty poor for a 20-song double album. If you like this mellow acoustic stuff that’s been making itself known of late, then this album is probably just your thing, but if you liked “One by One” and expected similar rocking out then you will be sorely disappointed.

Speaking of sorely disappointed, I also got to check out the new White Stripes album the other week. The White Stripes for me have been making the shift from quantity to quality over the last three albums. It’s like they only have a certain amount of awesomeness to fit on an album, and must choose how many songs to spread it over. I found a whole seven rather tasty numbers on “White Blood Cells”, five damn rocking tunes on “Elephant” and one fucking awesome track on “Get Behind me Satan” (Blue Orchid, if you’re curious).
