Hot New Feist Video – "Honey Honey"

Wed, 22 Oct 2008 06:44:24 +0000

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 while providing the basis of the melody even though the listener may not be immediately aware that the 5-6 notes are playing such a vital role.

I like the song – it’s something that you might listen to on a playlist of music for rainy days when you just want to curl up in bed with your favourite book. It’s not something I want to listen to every day but it’s actually quite cool.

Feist to Appear on Colbert Christmas Special

Thu, 18 Sep 2008 05:28:36 +0000

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 November 23, 2008.

Feist at the BC 150 Festival – Pics and Video

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 07:37:37 +0000

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:

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!

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!
