So looking back it was now 10 years ago! But I saw Metric and Silversun Pickups play the launch party for some Droid phone at a small club in SF...Metric played first, awesome set. SSP come out and start playing, I noticed Metric watching the set so I walked up and just said "Hey guys, thought you were great...can I get a quick pic?" and Emily looked at me and snidely said "We're watching the band" and turned away.
I don't know why that's stuck with me for so long (maybe because all Canadians are supposed to be nice?) but it has. I've since met Stars a few times and they are indeed the nicest people on the face of the earth.
Lemonheads - It's A Shame About Ray
Ethiopian Hit Parade
Another of my huge favourites from my youth that still sounds fab, and another great Ethiopian compilation (I'm happy not all the Ethiopiques series made it to vinyl!)
