A Year Measured in Metric
October 14th, 2009Tomorrow night, I am taking Julie to see her first Metric concert. (A birthday present to rival her taking me to Nine Inch Nails.) Tomorrow, we’ll be watching them from the second row at the Circle in the Square. I’m hoping the crowd will be a touch gentler than NIN.
It will be my third time seeing Metric, still I couldn’t be more excited. Call me a true fan. The first time I saw them was at Osheaga 2008 (Thank you, Steve Cohen, and CHOM.) But at that point in my life, I wasn’t really paying attention to what they were doing. I didn’t know the songs. Metaphorically (and literally) I was a huge grassy field away from appreciating Metric.
Last December, Brandon was able to pull strings and get some VIP tickets to see Metric play at the Sound Academy. Wow. I fell in love with music, the lyrics, the band, and Emily Haines. I’ve been listening to a TONNE of Metric ever since. Their songs helped me keep going.
A symbolic recap of the past 12 months of my life through Metric videos.
