metric_musicounts_tshirtdesignKeep the dream tight.

Let the bright and guiding lights be your guide.
But remember to keep your dreams close to your side.
Give in to the rhythm, give in to the beat.
Give in to Metric’s fashionable t-shirt treat.

A symmetrical delight for a cause?
We think this calls for a round of applause!
Help empower our youth, help them seize the day.
Support MusiCounts, and let the beautiful music play!

Following in the footsteps of the critically heralded ‘Shakin’ All Over: Canadian Pop Music in the 1960’s’ and continuing where the story there left off, ‘This Beat Goes On: Canadian Pop Music in the 1970’s’ and ‘Rise Up: Canadian Pop Music in the 1980’s’ are truly unique visual documentations of the history of Canadian music and the artists that helped define these eras.

‘This Beat Goes On’ features performances and interviews, including bonus segments (not previously aired) with Dan Hill, Joe Keithley, Bob and Daniel Lanois, Steven Leckie, Murray McLauchlan, Carole Pope, Nash The Slash and Valdy. From hip-hop to pop to country and new wave, the ‘Rise Up’ DVD documents the global rise of Canadian music with a treasure trove of classic hits and cult classics. Included are bonus segment/artist interviews (also not previously aired) with Bruce Cockburn, Tom Cochrane, Gowan, Geddy Lee, Maestro, Mitsou and Robbie Robertson.

The DVD’s are available starting on December 8, 2009, making for a perfect addition to all music lovers’ collections. A portion of the proceeds from the sales of this DVD will go to support MusiCounts.
