What Emily Did

I can honestly say I'm a fan of pretty much everything Emily Haines has done so far, musically. There is Metric of course, and there is her solo stuff, but there's also - let's not forget - her many wonderful collaborations. Some, like "Anthems for a 17-year Old Girl", seem to be universally loved while others, like "Stopwatch Hearts" or "Uptown Girl", are less well known. From her songs with Stars and The Stills, to her involvement in Crystal Method and even Tiesto projects - it seems that this is one musician who cannot go wrong. Here's a look at some of the highlights of her career.

Wanted: single f, under 33, must enjoy the sun must enjoy the sea. Sought by single m, Mrs. Destiny. Send photo to address, is it you and me?

Reply to single m: My name is Caroline, cell phone number here - call if you have the time. 28 and bored, grieving over loss. Sorry to be heavy, but heavy is the cost. Heavy is the cost.

Reply to Caroline: thanks so much for response. These things can be scary, not always what you want. How about a drink? This ancient club at noon? I'll phone you first I guess, I hope I see you soon.

I never got your name, I assume you're 33. Your voice it sounded kind, I hope that you like me. When you see my face, I hope that you don't laugh, I'm not a film star beauty, I'll send a photograph. I hope that you don't laugh.

Note to single m: Why did you not show up? I waited for an hour, I finally gave up. I thought once that I saw you, I thought that you saw me, I guess we'll never meet now it wasn't meant to be, it wasn't mean to be, I was sure you saw me, but it wasn't meant to be.
