Feist

My love for Feist is not exactly a secret around here, so I'm pleased to report that Ms. Leslie is looking as adorable as ever in her new music video for "I Feel It All," one of my favorite tracks from last year's The Reminder.

The video comes from the director behind the sweet and (thanks to Apple) totally inescapable video for "1 2 3 4," but this one seems a bit simpler. Instead of a sparkly pantsuit, Feist is wearing a striped sweater; instead of a crowd of friends, Feist's only accompaniment here is a field full of trash barrels shooting off sparks and fireworks. I love the way the fireworks hit their high point right around the time the song makes me want to get up and dance. To check out the video, just read more

Which of this year's top albums won a spot on your iPod? Here's what pop, indie, and hip-hop releases you told me were your best of 2007.

Best Pop Album of 2007:
Britney Spears, Blackout

Britney went two-for-two in Buzz's music polls, first winning comeback of the year and then getting the most votes in this poll, too. It wasn't even close — the real race was for second, with Rihanna's Good Girl Gone Bad just a handful of votes behind. Amy Winehouse's Back to Black.

I had to go with Winehouse — she may be a mess personally, but her music has had me dancing all year.

Some hot young blondes came out in NYC last night for the Guggenheim Young Collectors Council Artist's Ball hosted by Chloe. Blake Lively looked great, as usual, helping Chace fill our Gossip Girl fix for this rerun week. One half of your favorite platonic TV duo of the year, Becki Newton looked hot other than those boots. Fab's got the look for you (with a better choice of footwear). Meanwhile, not Piper Perabo's best look at all. I'm sure a few fashion mishaps didn't get in the way of any sort of good time had by all the lovely ladies.

Kanye West, Amy Winehouse, and Rihanna each swept up multiple nominations when the Grammy Award nominations were announced this morning.

West leads the field with eight nominations, including one for Album of the Year and many others in the rap performance categories. Winehouse scored six nominations, including Album, Record and Song of the Year and Best New Artist.

The Album of the Year category is an interesting one this time around, with Herbie Hancock, Vince Gill, and the Foo Fighters joining West and Winehouse. Beyonce, the Foo Fighters, Rihanna, Justin Timberlake and Winehouse will square off for Record of the Year.

The most pleasant surprise: Four nominations for my gal Feist, including Best New Artist. The awards — the Grammys' 50th — will be presented Feb. 10.

This list has all of the nominees in more than 100 categories, and to see the highlights — including the rock, pop, rap, R&B, and country nominees — just read more

I know you guys dig Feist, and any friend of Feist's is a friend of mine. So I'm psyched that the Bay Area's very own Rogue Wave will be hitting the road with the always charming songstress starting in October.

Though Rogue Wave has been around since 2002, the band become a bigger name lately thanks to appearances on the indie-tastic Spider-Man 3 soundtrack an "OC" compilation. The band's third album, Asleep at Heaven's Gate, comes out on Sept. 18, and I just got my hands on the new single, "Lake Michigan." If Feist penned this year's ultimate Summer anthem, then Rogue Wave's new track is the perfect pop-y yet mournful melody to take us into the first days of Fall. To listen, read more

Monday's "Late Show with David Letterman" turned into a veritable convention of indie rockers when the musical guests took the stage. Feist dropped by the show to perform "1 2 3 4" from The Reminder, and she brought with her a full backing chorus — including AC Newman of The New Pornographers and members of Grizzly Bear, Broken Social Scene, The National and Mates of State.

As if it wasn't enough just to see them all sharing the stage, they also dressed in matching white outfits with sparkly armbands. Can you even handle the cuteness? To watch the performance, read more

Fashion is always trying to promote some weird pattern combination or detailing, but sometimes, something simple looks best. pøt has indie chic down pat with her simple green shift dress contrasted with red skinny belt and shoes. Though timeless, the look is very modern European - in fact, it reminds me of Feist!

Here's what she's wearing:

• Dress: Vintage
• Belt: Vintage
• Shoes: Vagabond
• Necklace: Gift
• Bag: Sister's Point

Congrats to pøt!
