Transcendence Year One. 

Royale w/cheese

Broken Social Scene -- 7/4 (Shoreline)
What're they putting in the drinking water up north (or far, far east -- considering where I am)? At the moment, Canada is a veritable breeding ground for great bands, and BSS is no different. Their revolving door of members include showcased vocalist/indie It Girl Feist and...

Metric -- Soft Rock Star
...who can do no wrong. This track is from the hard-to-procure Static Anonymity EP. Metric is touring Texas in November, and the thought of missing both Emily Haines and Juliana Hatfield in one year makes me weep "like a little girl" (which must be said like Dieter).

Transcendence Part Cinque. 

She goes "ooh"

Magneta Lane -- The Constant Lover
Magneta Lane -- Ugly Socialite
Magneta Lane -- Cheap Linguistics
A cross between The Strokes and Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Magneta Lane rock pretty damn hard. Lexi Valentine's vocals are magnetac... har har. Hey, I just flew in from Chicago -- and boy are my arms tired!

Is this thing on?
