Your Friday Video Link: EVEN MORE METRIC!!!

Your Friday Video Link this week returns to my recently acquired musical obsession, the Canadian rock group called Metric.

For the THIRD time, it's EVEN MORE METRIC!!!

Our first video is for "Combat Baby".  

The video employs  "Supermarionation", a form of electronic marionette puppetry employed in the 1960's by British producer Gerry Anderson for the TV series Thunderbirds.

I have become enchanted by Metric's Emily Haines.

Enchanted, enthralled, fascinated, mesmerized by her voice, her writing, her overall person. 

Where has she been all my life?

With her heart beating like a hammer, next up is "Help I'm Alive".  

If you go to the I Love Metric website, you can get Metric merch like this "Help I'm Alive" t-shirt! 

A big signature song for Metric is "Black Sheep" which appeared in the film Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.  The song was performed by the Clash at Demonhead with lead singer Envy Adams (played by Brie Larson). 

Emily Haines said Metric was asked by director Edgar Wright if they had any songs they might want to contribute to the Scott Pilgrim soundtrack. Emily described "Black Sheep" as a quickly toss together song for a recent album that Edgar thought was perfect for his move. 

Here is Metric  performing "Black Sheep"  LIVE! 

Head over to the   I Love Metric website to get a Metric Black Sheep plushie.

OK, I'm in love with the music of Metric and Emily Haines but $50 for a plushie seems a bit rich for my blood weight now

ONE LAST VIDEO for this post.

Metric is still making NEW music and this video dropped on February 3rd, "Victim of Luck".

This is in advance of their brand new album dropping on April 24th which is my birthday! 

So am I done with Metric on this blog after 3 different posts?

I'm still discovering even more songs I haven't heard before but I really like. 

I would not be surprised if there will be a 4th edition of Your Friday Video Link with EVEN MUCH MORE METRIC!!!
