Indie rockers Metric recently laid down a cover of Tom Waits' "Strange Weather" for WFUV's indie offshoot The Alternate Side . Singer Emily Haines plays to her strengths, avoiding the sneer Waits gives the track on 19882s Big Time . Instead, she turns on the soul and delivers a haunted, sultry rendition over James Shaws' forlorn piano. Check out the in-studio performance below (via The NJ Underground ).
