Metric Go Down Memory Lane in NYC

Emily Haines and Jimmy Shaw of Metric talk about their origins in NYC and Brooklyn, hanging with members of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Stars and TV on the Radio, and how NYC helped shape the sound of "Synthetica," their latest album. Plus, is it more fun to hang with chefs or comedians? Shaw tells all.
