Emily Haines<\/a> is an amazingly talented musician with a perfectly angelic singing voice who has been getting a lot of airplay for some time on San Diego’s FM radio station 94.9 with “Monster Hospital” and now with “Help I’m Alive.” She was born in 1974 in New Delhi, India, and raised in Canada. You can grab tracks from her band Metric at myspace.com\/metric<\/a>. I had the pleasure of listening to her song, “Twilight Galaxy” among many others on her page. I give her 5 Daggers (stars are so over rated! 5 Daggers is the same as 5 Stars). I highly suggest you swing by her page and give her music a listen and add it to your play list, if not then may the Egyptian Plagues be swift and merciful on your soul! I also highly suggest you check out her father\u2019s (posthumously maintained) page on Myspace and show the family some respect at myspace.com\/secretcarnivalworkers<\/a>. Emily’s song “Twilight Galaxy” had a groovy uplifting beat that I am sure you will love, but don’t stop there, listen to the rest.<\/p>\n Watch Emily Haines. Watch her closely in 2009.<\/p>\n This is Joyce Damaged signing off and saying, “If the bed bugs bite, don’t fret, bite back!”<\/i> Emily Haines of Metric Review by Joyce Damaged Photos of Emily Haines by Reviewer Rob Good-morning\/evening lost and found souls of this planet we call Earth.
