I was at Zia the other day and when I was purchasing my items the guy at the counter asked if I had seen that the new Morrissey album was out. I would've figured that he was only asking this of people who were buying albums by the Smiths but he had also asked the previous customer a couple minutes earlier. And a new update - since I just followed that link to the Zia Records website - no, they're asking everyone. "You Are the Quarry" is their Pick of the Week.
It looks like I'm gonna miss Metric again; or, rather, they're gonna miss me this time. Currently they're opening for the Stills on various Northeast/Midwest dates (currently including tonight in Indianapolis.) I knew this so it made me happen when I saw that the Stills are coming to the Marquee on June 4th; unfortunately Metric are not listed as an opener. Which, given the New Times, don't mean nothing. [For clarity it should be noted that the New Times failed to mention that Metric were playing, otherwise the crowd would have been - atleast 1 but probably orders of magnitude more than that - stronger.]
But I may still show up anyway just to check and see if Metric are playing unnanounced yet again.
