Dead Disco

Emily Haines of Metric: photo from http://www.mcgilldaily.com/view.php?aid=1710Zedtv has Metric's live performance of "Dead Disco" and "Combat Baby" in streaming video! During the "Dead Disco" live performance, Emily goes through a sort-of singing role-call of all the 'cool' Canadian bands/artists she wants to see on TV including The Unicorns, Death From Above, Stars, Broken Social Scene, Feist, The Dears, and The Constantines! [by the way, each video file can be accessed by clicking on the 'collaboration' tab on the appropriate page.] [link from Metric's page; photo credit: Jenna Wakani]

The Organ will appear as themselves on a video shoot for their song "Brother" for an upcoming episode of "The L Word," "the Showtime dramatic series that revolves around a group of Los Angeles lesbians, and stars Jennifer "Flashdance" Beals, Erin "One Hour Photo"/"House of 100 Corpses" Daniels, Pam "Coffy"/"Jackie Brown"/"Foxy Brown" Grier, Katherine Moennig who appeared in an Our Lady Peace video, and others???" This will premiere on February 27, 2005, but darn it I don't get Showtime. :-( [from Mint Records]

PopMatters offers up quite an 'interesting' argument as to why letting all the Americans(fed up with living under another George W. Bush leadership) emigrate to Canada could be Canada's gain!
