Contrast Podcast and Album Closers

I don't know what I was thinking when I thought this week's contrast podcast theme, "album closers," was too difficult. I've got several good ones to choose from and I didn't even make it a third of the way through my music library! Must have been my state of mind at the time.

I think I was reading too much into it, actually. Sometimes I think too hard or obsess about finding the perfect song and then I run out of time and just say forget it. Which is what happened this week.

Anyhow, Feist put a gorgeous song at the end of her 2005 album Let It Die and it's what I should have picked, so here it is. If you want to hear the whole podcast, go here.

Feist--"Now at Last" mp3 off Let It Die (buy)

That's Gonzales on the piano, btw, and so I dug around a bit and found this. They've been collaborating for a long time.

Gonzales--"Shameless Eyes (feat. Feist)" mp3 off Presidential Suite (buy)

Next week the theme will be "my parents' music," so get out those old albums and start thinking about your choice right now. Don't crap out like I did this week.

p.s. I remember why I didn't pick "Now at Last." I posted it back in May. Oh well!
