The Useless Critic 2.0

Metric's newest album, Synthetica , will be out to the world on June 12, 2012. this is a big deal. look at that date. again:  this is a big deal. it's been 3 YEARS since the last album, Fantasies . Fantasies  was perfect. So there's a lot riding on this one! Here is what HBIC Emily Haines has to say about this new feat: SYNTHETICA is about insomnia, fucking up, fashion, all the devices and gadgets attached to our brains, getting wasted, watching people die in other countries, watching people die in your own country, dancing your ass off, questioning the cops, poetic justice, standing up for yourself, sex, the apocalypse, doing some stupid shit and totally regretting it but then telling everyone it made you stronger, leaving town as a solution to unsolvable problems, owning your actions and owning your time.

a new month means new things (sometimes- rabbit rabbit day? whatever the hell that is) and we may have a new blogger on board here. she's classy and tasteful, unlike me and Mr. Bouberhan (sry bud). and I think it'd be nice to have someone kind of elegant as a writer, wouldn't you agree? because, like, me. I'll just post a picture of Carla Bruni and be like LOOOOOOOOK. I'm in a remarkably good mood for a change, even though it's cold out and I'm about to go to work and going to work always scares me. you know what band is really, really good that I've never given a chance before? Midnight Juggernauts! check it out: http://www.myspace.com/midnightjuggernauts "Dystopia" and "Into the Galaxy" are beautiful and mesmerizing, whoa. Lastly, "I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here" is premiering tonight and Janice Dickinson is all I need to know. get better, Susan Boyle! - Brittany
