Feist

[Sweet One]

Any fans? Leslie Feist is a member of Broken Social Scene and By Divine Right.... i think she's awesome. I might see her live later this month.

For those of you who haven't heard her: www.listentofeist.com

:)

[Leaver]

i think about being her album
it's very fresh :cool:

[Sweet One]

Do you mean, buying her album?

I have it. My friend got it for me and it's really great.

[PolyEsther]

i will see her next wednesday in london together with keane


i think i will give her alisten now

[Sweet One]

Yeah, she's cool.

Her concerts here in Montreal is the 3rd and the 4th, I think I'm gonna get tickets.

[Michella]

.

[Sweet One]

Yeah, she's not at all their shows. She's so cool. And her voice is incredible.

[';']

i like her :D

[*Justine*]

I really like the album, especially "One Evening".

[Sweet One]

I really like the album, especially "One Evening".


Yeah! What a great song!! I really like "Let It Die" and "Now at Last" :)

[timeo]

Yeah, she's got a great voice. I saw Broken Social Scene live during the summer (it was a free 2 hour gig down at Harbourfront :D) but she wasn't there :(.

Oh the one on August 27th right? Yeah, I saw them very partially when they were performing on Olympic Island during the summer, but since my friend was late (god damn hangovers!), we missed most of their act, except for one song, which I don't know what it was. BSS rocks though, especially "I Slept With Bonhomme at the CBC" and "Guilty Cubicles" (yeah I'm a Feel Good Lost guy).

Anyways, the only thing I know from Leslie is "Mushaboom". A friend of mine recommended it to me, and then Snow Patrol has that song listed as their ending song for some CD compilation thing which they did. I'm liking it...too bad she's playing in Toronto tonight and I won't be seeing her. :(

[Sweet One]

She's in Montreal today. Wasn't she in Montreal last night as well??? I'm confused. She had 2 dates in Montreal...the last one being tonight. And I'm not going because I have a shitload of work to do. Shame.

[*Justine*]

Leslie played Toronto on the 2nd.. did anyone go that that?

[Sweet One]

My sister went, I think. I'll ask her how it was.

[*Justine*]

Oh yah, please do, I wanted to go to that one.

[timeo]

Leslie played Toronto on the 2nd.. did anyone go that that?

A friend of mine went, and her MSN name is like "Feistyfeistfeist" and this is like two days later, so I'm guessing the concert was really good!

Hey, you're from Waterloo....do you go to university there? I'm at UW. :)

[*Justine*]

I forgot about this thread. I am sporting a feist avatar (for those that don't know), she just put out her US release of "Let it Die", so for those americans that have not heard her yet, check it out.

In Feist news, she will be back in Toronto for Canada Day for a show at the Harbourfront Centre with Apostle of Hustle, Spooky Reuben and Taima. All evidence points to this being a free show,

And yes, timeo, I am at UW.

[Octakon]

She's got a great voice, plus she collaborated with Kings of Convenience on their latest album ;)

[Michella]

.

[*Justine*]

Have you checked out Ottawa Bluesfest? Man, that is a good lineup too on July 9th, Apostle of Hustle are there too, no Feist though.

[Egghead]

yay free show!


and yeah, blues fest has no feist :(

[Sweet One]

As of right now, I'm going. I might be on vacation then, but I'll try my hardest to go.

There was a rumour she was gonna be at the montreal jazz festival, but the last time i checked the site, her name was nowhere in site. Does anybody know anything?

[*Justine*]

On the official feist site, it does say that she is at the Montreal Jazz fest.

[Sweet One]

hmmmm..i'll check the Jazz Fest in a bit. Maybe they've added her since the last time I checked.

[sweet marianne]

does anyone like her! right now i am obsessed with -inside and out.. i loooooooooove it. i'm debating whether or not to buy the album. does anyone have it? does anyone like her?

[*Justine*]

Yah, I love her. I had her as my avatar for a while.

[Egghead]

awesome singer. :D

[*Justine*]

I have the album and I like it a lot. I would definitely recommend to buy it. It's on for 2 for $30 at HMV right now.

[*Justine*]

Apparently, she is on Conan O'Brien tommorrow night.

[LAChickClicks]

on conan? hope i'll still be awake by that time. :P yes feist is great! i love her voice and her musical style is rather interesting to me.

[Professor Peedston]

she done sang some purdy songs.

[The Noteburg]

The "Let it die" Record is just beautiful... it's very sad, but also very beautiful and lovely ... Great artist :)

[Michella]

.

[*Justine*]

I saw her recently at the Olympic Island show in Toronto with Modest Mouse, Metric, Broken Social Scene and others. She came on stage to play with Broken Social Scene, who I love as well.

[Michella]

.

[*Justine*]

There was no rumour about a free show, it WAS free. Feist and Apostle of Hustle played Harbourfront on Canada Day.

But the show that I went to was something else, it wasn't free, it was like $45 And it was on June 26th.

[Sweet One]

I would absolutely recommend getting her album. It's excellent.

I did see her at the Jazz Fest. She was incredible. Such an amazing performer. I love her.

Oh, and Sarah Harmer was in the audience. She was very cool. :)

[darkside02]

oh great...she has a lovely voice, I think im buying the record..cause its so good

[*Justine*]

http://www.magnacyd.com/feist3/

the 'one evening' video for those that haven't seen it. So funny and so cheesy.

[bonita]

i've never heard of her, is she a canadian singer?

[*Justine*]

Yes.

[charlotte]

[Space Cadet]

Yay! Feist :cool:

Besides sounding so amazing, I love how she draws her necklaces on with sharpie marker. She did it at the Junos too. :nice:

[ClearAsCrystal]

[putainfromage]

[Space Cadet]

Anyone heard the new album? I'm listening now... it's wonderful! :cool:

[ClearAsCrystal]

Yeah, she's cool.

Her concerts here in Montreal is the 3rd and the 4th, I think I'm gonna get tickets.

lucky monties... she is always there. :disappointed: I know she comes to the states and to Texas. But to big time concerts like ACL and Coachella ...venues my friends care nothing for :rolleyes: she rocks.

[Space Cadet]

Well with a new album come new tours, so who knows?

*crosses fingers* please come to Halifax again, please come to Halifax again.

I first heard about her the last time she was here... and of course tickets sold out in no time flat, so... :\ Well, I have seen her with Broken Social Scene, but it's not the same.

[ClearAsCrystal]

yeah. BSS is one thing, and Feist is another. And I know 'Monarch' mostly sucked. Just two or three good ones. But if I ever ever had my wish of seeing her play live i would want to hear "The Mast" off of that album. . . I would run upstage. Even if it was just that song. Loves it. God, I love that song. And if she could just, give me a private performance of 'Mushaboom', 'Let it Die', and 'Tout Doucement' ...I would die a very happy lady.

[Briggins]

Woo I got The Reminder today as a gift. :D

[el_scorcho]

I have mad love for Feist...plus she is from NS too! I missed her show here but will definitely be going next time around.

[Briggins]

Woo, another coldplayer from NS, I never noticed you around here before.

[el_scorcho]

yeahhh :) I used to come here all the time but kinda got out of it. nice to meet you

[Briggins]

I got the Feist album as a gift from a friend last week. I didn't really care for her that much before, but I listened to the album a few times regardless because I would feel guilty if I just put the Cd on my cd rack.

But I actually like it quite a bit now. Especially the song Past In Present.

[dajrekshn]

i'm glad that The Reminder is getting media attention :)

[Space Cadet]

Feist on a bus! :shocked2:

[timeo]

That's pretty awesome. Did she play another song? When was this anyways?

Feist and Snoop Dogg team up

And releases digital single in February

Feist teamed-up with Snoop Dogg at the Critic Choice Awards last night (January 8) in Los Angeles.

The unlikely pairing (pictured) were called on to present the "Best Song and Best Composer" award.

Meanwhile, Feist releases digital single 'My Moon My Man' on February 11. The video can be seen online now on Youtube.

At the end of 2007 she was nominated for four Grammy Awards: Best New Artist, Best Pop Vocal Album, Best Female Pop Vocal, and Best Short Form Music Video.

The ceremony is on February 10.

[Briggins]

Ouch, that seems like a bad combo.

[Grace]

i might go... the ticket prices are not that high.

yeahie.
that'll be wicked.

i heard she's in the uk around may. anyone going to see her in concert?

[Briggins]

I wanted to see her in Canada in December but I had an exam the next morning.

I bought "Let It Die" yesterday.

[Briggins]

My friend won tickets, so I'm seeing her on Friday!

[Briggins]

http://assets1.pitchforkmedia.com/images/original/149545.feisttweed.jpgWhile the greatest-hits-worthy Wilco (http://www.wilcoworld.net/) song "Impossible Germany" (http://wilcoworld.net/acl/index.php) is on their last album, 2007's Sky Blue Sky (http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/42878-sky-blue-sky), the record also features a lot of songs that didn't quite live up to their lofty legacy. So there's a little more pressure on the band to come through with goods on the still-untitled follow-up, due this June (http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/149409-new-wilco-album-coming-in-june). To help guarantee a world-class effort, Jeff Tweedy and Co. invited Feist (http://www.listentofeist.com/) up to their Chicago studio to record vocals for a new Wilco song called "You and I", Rolling Stone (http://www.rollingstone.com/blogs/smokingsection/2009/03/wilco-update.php)'s Smoking Section (http://www.rollingstone.com/blogs/smokingsection/2009/03/wilco-update.php) blog reports. "Feist and the dudes in Wilco met at the Grammys last year, and she hit it off with everyone," Smoking Section says. "She's a Wilco fan, and the guys love her music, so they've kept in touch over the past year. Mr. Tweedy is a huge fan of duets, and wanted to work a duet into the new album. Feist was their first call. Everyone who's heard the song has been 'blown away.'"

While we wait for the Feist/Wilco collaboration to get hyped up even further, there's the new Wilco DVD, Ashes of American Flags (http://ashesofamericanmovie.com/video/trailer/) (out on Record Store Day (http://www.recordstoreday.com/), April 18), and a world tour starting March 26 to look forward to.

Leslie Feist stopped here once, wearing that sparkly blue dress of hers.. I did offer her some tomatoes, and she seemed pleased with them!:P Anyhow, glad she's keeping on top of the music scene, although I'm curious to hear how her team-up with Wilco sounds..

[Briggins]

Yeah, I'm excited about it!
She has done some terrific collabs in the past.

[chuck kottke]

*Bump's thread*: & how'd the Burlington, Vermont show go?

[Briggins]

Haven't heard anything about it yet. I've started getting into Wilco more and more. So I can't wait to hear the collab with Feist!

[thinker]

Feist is so kool!
She's awsome with Kings of Convenience also.

[Briggins]

Feist is so kool!
She's awsome with Kings of Convenience also.

My favorite is probably One Evening... what a sexy song....haha

[Corkus]

Just watched (500) Days of Summer and I got excited when they played "Mushaboom".

Any news on any future work from Feist? It's been almost three years since The Reminder...

[Briggins]

Haven't heard anything for a while.

[chuck kottke]

Leslie, won't you come out to play with us??:P
