FMQB adds date Dec 7
I'm a big fan of this group. They definitely get more play and recognition in Canada but they are worthy of finding a place in the alternative world, they feel like they are on the C team of the Alt world. This is the kind of stuff that is missing more and more from the alt world (as discussed in other thread) I just don't know that with the current state of rock radio with the already blurry line of Active and Alternative that this will do as well as it might have 12-15 years ago.

I knew Metric had been around for a little bit, and I particularly enjoyed "Help, I'm Alive" once I finally got to hear it on a somewhat consistent basis. But I was surprised to discover a few months ago that on a series of 4 mix CDs a friend of mine made for me well over 5 years ago, he had included 2 Metric tunes: "Succexy" on the first disc and "Dead Disco" on the 4th. I guess I didn't realize they'd been around that long just yet. (And embarrassed that I didn't remember having a couple of their songs in my collection.)
(Further embarrassing is that I haven't even bothered to play those songs since rediscovering them. Honestly, it's hard enough listening to unfamiliar CDs in my possession, especially if they're burned and aren't from the current year, but compilations and mix CDs are at a further disadvantage because there's even less incentive to listen to them. At this point I'd be better off uploading all my compilations and mix CDs to my computer and hitting shuffle.)

Great song, one of their best. I'd love to see this creep into the top 20 like "Help, I'm Alive". It's as a good a fit as anything.

You could have posted it in Nostalgia 2006 ;) I never liked Monster Hospital much myself. Other songs have been way better for me personally, such as one from their first album (which the band has pretty much disowned, sadly) called On The Sly.
