sympathy for simplicity

i'm really liking this "one youtube video per day" thing you got going there. i'm impressed with your consistency. i don't go on youtube everyday, but i'll try to get one per week, deal? it'll be a good exercise for me.

so here we go: emily haines and jimmy shaw, respectively singer and guitarist for metric. i'm so proud these guys are canadian, for the record. they are a wonder to see, their energy transpires into the crowd, etc. but here's why i like them best: they are truely professional and talented musicians. case in point, they recorded this vid during last summer's coachella. a new song entitled "give me sympathy", off their new record fatansies (to be released in april). it is the acoustic version. and it makes me swoon.



oh, and, little trivia for ya: during pop montreal in 2005 (or was it 06?), i ran into jimmy shaw and we made eye contact!! a highlight in my wannabe-hipster years.

stat!
