Emily Haines of Metric digs through a “box of crap” filled with items referring to inside jokes, from the Canadian flag to maple syrup to her iconic orange hoodie and black baseball bat.
Transcript
00:00You know in Canada, we actually wear this as a perfume.
00:02It really gets the guys.
00:06Hi, I'm Emily Haynes from Metric.
00:09I'm at setlist.fm with a big box of crap.
00:18Oh yeah, a little rap rage out of the gate.
00:23Aw, you guys, you really know me.
00:25The first thing I pulled out is this Savitri,
00:28a legend and a symbol, which looks super culty,
00:31but actually isn't.
00:32This was significant for me because it is my middle name.
00:35I was born in New Delhi, India,
00:37and my mother named me after this book.
00:41This is very good memories for me,
00:43even though he's giving me kind of like a culty vibe.
00:45Oh, Scott Pilgrim! This is cool.
00:47I mean, it's sort of a like half insult, half compliment.
00:51The guy who wrote the graphic novel
00:53that this film is based on, Scott Pilgrim,
00:55he created this like kind of nightmarish band
00:58and it was based on Metric.
01:00I just really enjoyed working with these guys.
01:01Is there something from Twilight in here?
01:03Oh!
01:05This is maple syrup.
01:06Pure. Thank you.
01:07This means a lot to me, my countrymen, my homeland.
01:09Okay.
01:10What's this? Soft skeleton?
01:12I get it. Getting all the jokes.
01:14Cute!
01:15The best thing about soft skeleton is I can change my backing band
01:18to be anyone, anytime.
01:20So at some point I'll probably just end up being like
01:23discarded members of the broken social scene.
01:25Mmm.
01:29Just cause I'm a winner?
01:31So, random.
01:33If you ever see any picture of me
01:36shuffling into soundcheck in an arena or something,
01:39no. No Crocs. No.
01:42It means that I'm really depressed
01:43and you need to do an intervention.
01:45Another bit of Canadiana.
01:46I really do appreciate this.
01:47Sort of want to sing the national anthem.
01:50Imagine if they got me to sing the national anthem.
01:53A little too edgy, I think.
01:56What's this?
01:58Oh, it's Zoe!
01:59Okay, great!
02:00Zoe.
02:01So this is the band that we're bringing on tour.
02:03Mexican rock band.
02:05We're bringing July Talk from Canada.
02:07We got Zoe from Mexico.
02:08And we can all just kind of unite.
02:10Oh, good!
02:11You're lucky it's Mezcal.
02:12Cause this is a band favorite.
02:14But I was afraid that it was just like bad tequila.
02:17Don't, don't put bad tequila in a metric dressing room.
02:20This I hate.
02:23This is kind of like with the Crocs.
02:24Like if you ever see me doing anything with this,
02:27it means that I'm unwell and that you need to help me.
02:31I wasn't one of the people who would take a Rubik's Cube
02:34and move the stickers, but I did know people who did do that.
02:38They kind of tended to be the same people that would pick their nose and eat it.
02:42Oh, just yes.
02:45Just quietly yes.
02:47I don't know what you're referring to.
02:49Oh wait, is it going to say something?
02:51Is it cool if I wear the same jeans for like four tours in a row?
02:55If I wash them?
02:57Without a doubt.
02:59Get used to it.
03:01We're getting near the end guys in this beautiful box of crap.
03:06This is my alter ego.
03:08Uh oh, she's back and she means trouble.
03:12Look out.
03:14Ah, I just feel safe now.
03:16This thing of beauty.
03:18Remember, I'm not going to hurt you.
03:20I'm just going to protect myself.
03:22Alright, we made it to the end.
03:24If you want to see me again, you'll just have to come and check us out on tour.
03:27Hope to see you there.
03:28Peace out.
