Sesame Street premiered on November 10th, 1969, and over the last 40 years some of our favorite musicians have stopped by to make music for the kids. I just took a YouTube journey and pulled up these videos which were all entertaining for one reason or another. I was always more of a "Reading Rainbow" man myself, but when it comes to star power... Sesame Street has the game locked down. Stevi...
Leslie Feist and Rural Alberta Advantage are to play at next year's Winter Olympics in Vancouver.The acts are the latest to be confirmed to take part in the Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad, which starts on Jan 22....more here.
Broken Social Scene’s Kevin Drew was so inspired by Feist’s song “The Water,” from her 2007 album The Reminder, that he adapted it into a short film starring Cillian Murphy, David Fox, and Feist. The singer reportedly plays a love interest to one of...
TRACER sent Amanda and I to Chicago's historic Riviera Theatre in late November to spend an evening with Leslie Feist and friends. Arriving in Chicago later than expected, we ended up completely missing show-opener, and fellow former Broken Social Scenester, Jason Collett and probably would've missed the early part of Feist's set, too, were it not for the fact that she had sprained her ankle th...
Canada's Leslie Feist will be releasing a Deluxe Edition of 2007's "The Reminder". It will feature Feist's duets with Constantines and Mocky and remixes by Chrome, Grizzly Bear, Van She and more and all the videos made for songs on the album. The release date for the album has been announced as December 2. On that date they will also be releasing a disc called "The Reminder: Bonus Content" wh...
Such a beautiful song. This song feels like it was sung outside in open air and not in a studio, which could be the case considering how the entire album was supposedly recorded. perfect sad song for a perfectly sad heart.
Well all I can say is "AWESOME!" Feist on Mon. nite was a really enjoyable show. The girl can definitely sing, AND she plays a pretty mean guitar! The subdued but effective lighting was perfect for her show, with a neat, simple shadow play (projector and various props) controlled from sidestage. I believe she played all of The Reminder, except perhaps Past in Present, with slight variations, a...
I know it's only December, but hey, I don't think it's too early to call the Album of the year 2007-Feist's "The Reminder", has been on high rotation here in our house and it just keeps getting better. So thanks to my wife Karen, who put me onto this album and thanks to the MOG magic button that helped Karen find it in the first place.
While it may not be a totally new concept, Feist appeared on none other than the Sesame Street recently. As usual, she changed up the lyrics to fit the show and the result was nothing short of great. Sometimes it pays to have a 2 year old who likes to watch cookie monster.
Troubadour Leslie Feist, better known as just Feist may have lost the Grammy for Best New Artist to Amy Winehouse earlier this year, but you ain't gonna be seeing Amy Winehouse on Sesame Street any time soon.On the other hand Feist will reportedly be appearing on the long-running children's program "singing her The Reminder hit":http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/49880-feist-does-1234-o...
There are many albums that are perfect to play at certain occasions. Sometimes, an album can only be special once. It’s that moment when the environment you are in and the music that is playing seem to blend together perfectly, and you can never listen to that album the same way again. Case in point was the time I was visiting my wife's sister in Ottawa. It was the last night my wife and I were.
Amy Winehouse who? Feist is the new "IT" girl. (Was it the iPod commercial?)Feist is the winner of the Seventh Annual Shortlist Music Prize for her 2007 album The Reminder. If you're a Feist fan, you probably got to swooning over the Canadian singer-songwriter way back when 2004's Let It Die broke through. But now in 2008 the swooning is being done by the panel of the Shortlist Music Prize - re...
