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...

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.

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...

A few weeks ago, I got a call from my father-in-law. When he calls me, it can be only one of two things: either he needs help with his laptop, or he has a music question. This time, it was the latter, to my relief.This time, he had seen the following commercial, and wanted to know if I knew who was singing that song.I told him that, yes indeed, I did know the artist in question, and even had he...

Different strokes, and all that crap. But sometimes I’ll read or hear someone’s take on something, and it’ll just make me shake my head or roll my eyes or utter the random vulgarity.Everybody’s got a right to express an opinion, no matter how ill-informed. And there are those who actually have a public forum for their ignorance. I don’t mean a blog either. I’ll admit it. I’ve been pa

Despite yesterday's news that Canadian songbird Feist would "rest for a minute" following her current Canadian tour, a video for Feist's The Reminder track "Honey Honey" has hit the net today. As for ever touring again with Broken Social Scene, Feist told the Canadian Press, "It's not really as interesting for me as it once was. [It] would be like a reunion to be able to hang out with everyon...

I discovered Feist's new cd over a month ago & have just fallen in love with her unusual style of singing/music. I actually had seen/heard vids of hers by other moggers too like Miketheknife & a few others. The first vid I saw was of her "1234" which just captivated my attention due to the group choreographed dancing in it. I've been listening to Feist's new cd "The Reminder" which just has som...

Yes, there’s a lot on my plate. And yes, we’re all getting older and perhaps dimmer (even if those rejuvenating sheep-placenta injections appear to be working – heh, heh, heh). And no, I don’t need to embarrass myself in public – or on the rolls of MOGgery. But I made one of the dumbest mistakes in memory (or lack of memory?) as regards my vocational endeavors and personal tastes. And, b
