Emily's Solo Joint

In the pervasive sense, Broken Social Scene is the Wu-Tang of Canada. With Kevin Drew playing a RZA-like role at the helm, the cast and crew consists of various musicians as Leslie Feist, Amy Milan of Stars (whom, like ODB, has a laundry list of a rap sheet stemming mainly from her penchant for snorting blow off a hooker's butt before shows), Murray Lightburn of The Dears, Jason Tait of The Weakerthans, and the Scenesters' own Method Man, Emily Haines.

While Ms. Haines already has a fairly extensive resume, having also worked with The Stills and Metric, she has yet to officially release a solo album, that is, until next Tuesday, when Knives Don't Have Your Back hits stores.

I've only been able to procure "Doctor Blind," which you can stream from her myspace, so I'll offer two of her greatest hits instead:

1. Broken Social Scene - Anthems for a Seventeen Year Old Girl (Live at the Ottawa Blues Festival)

2. Metric - Combat Baby (Live at Coachella)

As a testament of good taste to her iPod on shuffle, a bonus song: Elliott Smith - Say Yes (Live at KCRW)

All this talk of the Wu-Tang has me thinking, "Hey, how about a Wu-Tang song?" Sure! Ghostface Killah & Raekwon - Daytona 500

I was kidding about Amy Milan's fetish for coke and ass.

Where does one band end and the other begin in this hastily Photoshopped picture? YOU DON'T KNOW! By the way, the bluriness on the right isn't some editing error; it's straight up smoke.
