Emily Haines

I feel you in my bones.

This album by Tiesto also features Nelly Furtado and Emily Haynes on various songs.

But I do wonder if this is kind of like the DJ indie pop, like, you know what I'm saying? That crossover thing.

This is maybe like a bit of a canary in the coal mine of what's to come.

I'm a big Metric fan.

I didn't even think about Emily Haines, Emily St. John Mandel.

That was not planned.

I think Emily St. John Mandel is Canadian.

I don't have all their albums, but I like them.

I got really into that Monster Hospital album, and I've re- I've listened to everything they've done since.

Uh, I think Emily Haines is really cool.

If I was gonna choose a song that encapsulates the essence of the hotel or the journey of a character, what would it be? The Macarena.

Because, like, the lead singer of Metric... is like the singer in yeah

um emily haynes

yeah emily haynes and broken social scene

well so like broken social scene has uh amy from stars emily haynes feist and and then like the regular women yeah

yeah

who's like the regular women sing those songs yeah and

Major label A&R guys sifted through the world of indie rock, offering questionable deals with big advances attached, and treating the bands like baseball players coming up from the minor leagues.

Emily Haines of Metric has her own major label letdown story.

It's about Andy Ross of the British indie label Food Records, who's best known for signing Blur.

He sold the label to EMI in 2000 and ran it, until one fateful day.

And then there's also lots of references to his drinking.

When we talked about Emily Haynes, we kind of talked about this reputation she has.

And I do think that Chaos has a bit of a reputation as a drinker.

Oh, interesting.

Yeah.

So, yeah, I mean, it is something that's still discussed and celebrated.

And it's interesting because, like, yes, in these later records, which we'll get to, there's also, as you said, so much collaboration, though, like artistic, you know, give and take with these, like, you know, with Feist and with Emily Haynes, Nellie Furtado.
