Arguably one of the world's greatest trance DJs, Dutch producer Tiesto has continued to redefine the boundaries of trance music with his signature emotive style and arena-ready sound for over fifteen years. For his fourth major studio release Kaleidoscope , the premiere producer of trance sought some of the music scene's most dynamic characters, ranging from global superstars ( Calvin Harris , Sneaky Sound System , Nelly Furtado ) to an assortment of lesser known, left-of-center acts ( Tegan & Sara , Bloc Party 's Kele Okereke , Sigur [...]
I'll be honest. Over the years my relationship with Metric has been akin to the dorky kid in the chem lab constantly hating on the prom queen or star quarterback in all those 80's movies. Somehow, the fact they are popular meant that supporting them would be like giving up who we are, and the false comfort that in 15 years no one would remember their name but we'd be rich and famous. I know that makes no sense, but it just kind of happened. Obviously, Herohill caters to a small but loyal audience, one that [...]
Sorry for the lack of updates lately, times are busy but there will be a bigger post later this weekend... and this for now. This wasn't initially going to be an Emily Haines centric post, but she would seem to be the common element. First comes the video for Games for Days, from Interpol front man Paul Banks' new project, Julian Plenti. The album Julian Plenti is... Skyscraper is out now. Anybody with an appreciation for Interpol should have a listen , similarities are many. Secondly comes [...]
Crystal Method now on the second leg of their tour for DIVIDED BY NIGHT (Tiny E music)—have just announced "Come Back Clean" as the second single from the album. The hook-injected track features Emily Haines of Metric on vocals and drummer extraordinaire Samantha Maloney (Hole, Motley Crue, Peaches, Chelsea Girls) providing extra beats. To [...]
Filed under: Exclusive , Northern Exposure , Canada Some vocalists could sing the proverbial phone book and still be compelling, and Stars ' Amy Millan can be counted among those rarefied few. Three years after her 'Honey from the Tombs' solo debut, Millan returns with 'Masters of the Burial,' which features a mix of carefully-chosen covers -- including songs by Death Cab for Cutie and Sarah Harmer -- and Millan's own hushed, alt-country-inflected tunes. Thanks to her distinctive voice [...]
Everything you could say about Tiësto has been said before. He records, tours, remixes, produces, and sells like none other. Along the way, he's been named the World's No.1 DJ, worked with Madonna, and even performed live at the Olypmics (during the opening ceremony in Athens, Greece). Needless to say, anytime the Dutch DJ is in the headlines, it's a big deal. But when he is in the headlines for a brand new studio album that will feature Sigur Rós' Jónsi Birgisson, Bloc Party's Kele Okereke, Metric's Emily Haines, Nelly Furtado, Tegan and Sara, and Calvin [...]
Julian Plenti ( Paul Banks para los cuates), presenta un nuevo vídeo de su sencillo "Games For Days", parte de su álbum debut Is...Skyscraper . En el vídeo aparece Emily Haines de Metric , como aliada de un Paul Banks malo que quiere jugar con la mente del Paul Banks bueno (éste fue dirigido por Javier Aguilera). El clip está simpático y para felicidad de todos, los tres personajes salen muy bien. Disfruten el vídeo, la canción o al menos el taco de ojo. [...]
Wenn The Happy Hollows - in ihren besten Momenten auf dieser CD - zu überdrehten 90er Jahre Collegerock-Rhytmen kreischen, toben und schreien, dann fühlt man sich ein wenig wie ein Erwachsener auf einem Kindergeburtstag. Ein Schelm, wer da an Kim Deal, PJ Harvey oder Emily Haines denkt. Die BBC sagt: Unbedingt beobachten. Was ich hiermit getan haben dürfte. [free mp3] The Happy Hollows / Faces Das komplette Album Spells gibt es im Stream .
Is it getting hot in here? Check out the new video "Games for Days" by Julian Plenti (aka Paul Banks of Interpol ). And who's the little lady in the video? None other than Emily Haines (from Broken Social Scene and Metric ). It's filmed at the slightly sketchy Waverly Hotel in Toronto.

Definitivamente Paul Banks se está tomando esto de su otra personalidad muy en serio, pues bajo el nombre de Julian Plenti está haciendo cosas que normalmente no haría con su banda, como protagonizar uno de sus vídeos, en este caso el del tema "Games For Days" , perteneciente a su producción debut Julian Plenti Is...Skyscraper . La temática del vídeo se desarrolla en un hotel, con la doble personalidad de Paul haciendo su aparición, uno de ellos bien acompañado por Emily Haines de Metric y sus (según dicen los chicos) maravillosas [...]

Why it's good old Canadian girl Emily Haines of Metric.Watch the pair get all kinky here:Julian Plenti's websiteJulian Plenti's Myspace
Stereogum has the new Julian Plenti video for "Games For Days." It has Emily Haines ! In handcuffs! Oh, yeah - and the song is pretty good too (as if that's important). MP3: Julian Plenti - Games For Days "Games For Days" is off the album Julian Plenti Is... Skyscraper , out now .
In case you didn't know, Julian Plenti is in fact Paul Banks (Interpol lead singer) alter ego that he uses for his solo effort that came out this week entitled Julian Plenti Is.. Skyscraper . The video is directed by Javier Aguilera and features Paul Banks and Metric's Emily Haines. download : Julian Plenti - Games For Days
I love Interpol, I love Metric. Julian Plenti is Paul Banks from Interpol's new side project we have been talking up for a few weeks. The new video for Games for Days is out today and guess who stars along side Banks in the video... non other than Emily Haines of Metric! To me this is too much awesome in one place, I think you'll agree.
When he's not playing ping-pong in leisure attire with bulbous women adorning his side, Julian Plenti has time to cavort around with Metric's Emily Haines in this cinematic video for "Games for Days" off Julian Plenti Is...Skyscraper , which hit stores this past Tuesday via Matador .
I love going to music festivals. I also love free. Free music festivals within a 30mi radius of me = no-brainer. This was my second free festival this summer ( see Tom Williams' Siren Festival Review ). God bless you, failing economy! The Host (C+) WFNX seemed to be a little all over the place. They didn't get back to us in time for press pass info, so I tried to get one on my own. The poor girl at the [...]
Or, perhaps, even more accurate, shame on me. I haven't written a post in a month! I could give excuses about how I've been hard at work, slaving away as Assistant Director on an amazing play co-produced by Furious Theatre Company and the Theatre @ Boston Court currently running in Pasadena... but I won't. I'll just say that things have been hectic. So hectic in fact, Monday nights have been my only nights off this summer. So I, along with a few of my friends from work, decided to begin [...]
This week's Live Friday features a session from the band Metric. In case you're not aware, Metric is the band fronted by Emily Haines, who you may know from her roles in both Broken Social Scene as well as her own solo project. But Metric came before them all, and continues to co-exist with all of them to this day. Metric released their latest album "Fantasies" back in mid-April, and myself as well as many other remarked that it's the band's strongest to date, harnessing the full power of the band through creative melodies that simultaneously energize and addict. Call [...]
