The Incredibly Interesting Symbiotic Relationship of Metric and Heavy Trash

When I decided to see Metric for the first time last year, it came at the sacrifice of seeing Heavy Trash for the first time. I've seen Heavy Trash since but Metric is coming back - moving their Highline Ballroom show from the August 7th to the 8th (apparently so that Mates of State could headline its own show at the venue). What does this mean? It means that instead of Metric duking it out with the Black Keys for gig of the night, they now have to contend with...you guessed it...Heavy Trash (playing at Glasslands). And once again the great struggle between seeing Emily Haines and Jon Spencer is renewed again. And this is to say nothing of the fact that also on the 8th of August, Iggy Pop & the Stooges are playing Terminal 5.
