"Come On, Angel" is a calming pop number featuring Emily H...

How is it that an account with 185,000 SoundCloud followers can pick up less than 1,000 plays over the course of a day? Especially when that act is Metric?
Maybe I'm just dating myself, but this band is pretty classic. They first rose to my attentio...

I don't know about you, but the new Metric album had little to no impact on my audio-life. On the slip side, their 2003 album Old World Underground, Where Are You Now? found itself playing over and over again.Today, for some reason or another, I woun...
