Earworm of the day: Soft Rock Star by Metric, off the album Old World Underground, Where Are You Now? I have long nursed a soft spot for frontwoman Emily Haines, but this song is especially good. Haines capitalizes on both her uncannily sweet voice and her powerful lyrics to swing together an unforgettable tune.The carefree, haunting chorus, "Choose the highest bidder, was my answer when they told me I was up for sale", stays in my head for hours, if not days.
