I am not really a Metric fan; I like this track because it is essentially an Annie song sung by Emily Haines. Some jazz fest feature stuff (Cyndi Lauper sings the blues; apparently there was controversy regarding the Laurie Anderson/Lou Reed/John Zorn experimental triple bill, which basically boils down to "what did you think your $100 was going to get you, exactly"). Elisapie Isaac is the former singer of Taima, whose 2001 album I really liked. Her solo material is less electronica/Emilie Simon, more indie drums and echo-ey dreampop guitars. If you've ever thought Mazzy Star would be more awesome in Inuktitut, this album is for you! Meanwhile I picked the b-side to play off the new Spitz single because I have a weakness for Spitz when they play fast and show their punk roots.

At jazz fest the other day I saw this Quebec band that came off as a jazzy jam band version of Cocorosie. Now I like Cocorosie** but this was fully as dire as it sounds.


** Although if I were to write an impassioned defense of them it would be much more nuanced on the sexism vs racefail front than what is out there.

XDD

The sad thing is I have actually been writing this impassioned lukewarm defense, because it's the quickest way to pad my 750words count - 2,000 words on Cocorosie, as of today! What do I even do with this lol
