I think it's a hint of an upcoming East Coast Canadian tour in summer of 2010. Or maybe that's just me, continuing to lobby...

Wow, very nice. The orchestra arrangements were beautiful, and brought out different takes on the songs. And an excellent interview.
I would like to see this performance commercially released for fans to buy.

Excellent, Briggins! Have fun!
I realllly wish I could be there. I am within 3 hours drive of the place but just cannot get there tonight.
However, in a perfectly classic example of unfortunate timing, I WILL be in Halifax tomorrow night. (.. mutter mutter...)

Sweet potatoes? Sure! They're good as fries, and sometimes I cut them up in chunky pieces and roast them in the oven along with other root vegetables like turnip, parsnip and carrots.

Saw Metric on The Hour Holiday Special last night playing Trans Siberian Orchestra...they rocked! Awesome wigs too! I just wish George would have taken a second to talk to the band.
Pretty great. Not everyone will get the TransSiberian thingee joke, but hasn't Metric always been that way?: Laugh if you get, it, blink in utter confusion if you don't. The choir girls were excellent also, very well rehearsed.

These days I'm listen to Rolling Stones, Zeppelin, 1960's Frank Sinatra, Lady Gaga, Them Crooked Vultures, Levon Helm and Oleta Adams. Next week, who knows..

Too bad about the EP not being available in Canada until 2010.
I would recommend that Metric release Plug In, Plug Out as a high quality FLAC version, so we can hear the music as they performed it, rather than in the reduced quality of MP3s.
If the 2010 Canada launch was of higher quality, it would be worth waiting the extra months for it.
Do you think there is any chance of that?
