Emily Haines And The The Soft Skeleton

By Matt Littlefair (CHARTattack) July 31, 2007 9:33 am
I was bored by Knives Don't Have Your Back. With the exception of "Doctor Blind," the record just melted into the walls and did little more than cast a black cloud over anyone within earshot. The live performances were intriguing but self-indulgent, yet everyone around me lauded Emily Haines' triumph as a songstress. I just didn't get it...

Even also-ran Vanessa Carleton had thousands of girls swooning. Metric's Emily Haines already had the fanbase in hand, but recently translated her...

Finally. After years of complaining that it's too expensive to fly all their artists out to places like St. John's or Saskatoon, or that there aren't enough limousines to rent in these towns, or that the available bars are too small to host proper after-parties, the Canadian music industry has finally gotten its wish and the 40th anniversary...

David Usher might still be ridiculously far ahead of anyone in our readers' poll's best Canadian album category, but he's pretty much neck-and-neck with Billy Talent singer Ben Kowalewicz for sexiest Canadian man. Kowalewicz leads, but Usher is just behind him. We're willing to bet all the insane Usher fans who are reading this are now about to...
