Weren't the Logarithmics one of those synth bands in the 80s? ;-)

I think it's a different meaning of the work "metric" here. Since we label
our note values in powers of 2 we could even call our system "logarithmic."

Pardon, but isn't this a misuse of the word "metric"? The system
taught in the U.S. is fractional, not metric. I may be wrong, but I
don't believe I've ever seen a decinote, or a centinote, or a
millinote! (My, but that would be a fast one!!) Our system is based
on the division of the whole note (historically the semibreve) by 2
(or in its original form in the 13th century the breve's division by
3), not by 10.
