I came across the new Feist video for her single “Honey Honey.”  The song is really strange even for the unusual Calgarian singer.  The video is even weirder.  The funny thing is that, while it is a haunting tune filled with wordless “singing,” it’s also comforting and warm.  The background “ha ha” sounds sometimes remind me of trains (what do you think?), the puppet work is inventive and, when you dissect the musical layers, it’s simple but when used all together with her vocals, you get a surprisingly intricate song.  For example, the xylophone sounding instrument is keeping the beat …read more

Do you watch the Colbert Report at all?  I can’t help but be sadly addicted to it.  Sometimes I have to work late so I don’t get to see it but, whenever I do, it’s always hilarious.  I can only imagine what a Christmas special will be like on that show!
This year, the Comedy Central star has decided to invite Canadian singer, Feist, along with adopted Canadian Elvis Costello (who lives with his wife, Diana Krall in British Columbia), Toby Keith, John Legend and Willie Nelson.
The one-hour holiday special is scheduled to air on …read more

Canadian singer, Feist, was at the BC 150 Festival earlier this month and I was fortunate enough to have a friend who attended and gave me some pictures (click on any of them to enlarge).
Did any of you have a chance to go?  I was in California at the time (plus I live in Calgary and this was in Victoria) so I didn’t attend any of the festivities.

Here is a short video of some of her performance:

Brooke White, who is most famous for being a finalist during this past season of American Idol covered Canadian singer, Feist’s famous song “1234″ recently.  It’s a great fit for her voice, I think.  Watch the video:

Juana Molina will be touring with Canadian singer, Feist, as she leads up to the release of her fourth album “Un Dia,” which is set to be released on October 7, 2008.  The Argentinean’s new record features “stripped-down instrumentation, bold rhythmic roots and some of the most personal lyrics she’s ever written.”  Sounds like a great match for Feist!
Here are the dates and venues where you can catch these two ladies:

August 6 – Leon, Mexico @ International Festival of Contemporary Arts
August 14 – Santa Monica, Calif. @ Santa Monica Pier

From August 1st-4th, British Columbia will be celebrating their 150th birthday and they have gone all out with the festivities!
Some of Canada’s top acts, including Feist and Sarah McLachlan, will be there performing in front of the Parliament buildings in Victoria.
I’ve got some friends who are attending (even took a helicopter to get there!) so I’m hoping for some good pictures (hint, hint).
For more information, visit the BC Festival 150 site!

The song “I Feel it All” is the third released single off of Feist’s album, “The Reminder.” The song is definitely unique and describes a mix of feelings she can’t control. I prefer her song “1234” but I do like this song. Check out the video below!
