Music Video of Beck, Feist, Wilco, Jamie Liddell Performing "Little Hands" Together

Guaranteed way to make me drop everything I'm doing and press play: tell me that Beck, Feist, and Wilco are collaborating. It's true; Beck recruited the folk chanteuse, the rock band, and British singer Jamie Lidell to join him to perform a tribute to '60s musician Skip Spence. Their cover of Spence's song, "Little Hands," was recorded in the famous Sunset Sound Studios in Hollywood in ultrahip Read more

Do You Rock Rock Posters at Home?

In general, I prefer original artwork to posters and prints, but there is something about a well-designed rock silkscreen that gets me going. For example, the colors of this Feist poster by Vahalla Studios are downright magnifying. I love its leafy, teardrop pattern and that slender typography. Aesthetic Apparatus is also one of my favorite rock poster design studios. Do you have any Read more

Preview of Stephen Colbert's Holiday Special, A Colbert Christmas

Not surprisingly, given what I do for a living, I often turn to my favorite TV specials (A Charlie Brown Christmas, The Snowman, and A Muppet Family Christmas, among many others) to get me in the holiday spirit. Well, this year, there's a new special on the scene, and it already seems destined to become a seasonal classic. A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All (hee) premieres Sunday at Read more

Music Video: Feist, "Honey Honey"

Somehow, the soft, dreamy sounds of Feist's "Honey Honey" make even this puppet story seem poignant and emotional. The video features very little of the singer herself, though she does start things off by lighting a lighthouse, bringing to life this mini world in which an old seafarer embarks on an ocean journey and faces off with a vicious creature of the deep. Meanwhile, his lady love Read more

The Song From the New iPod Nano Commercial: Chairlift, "Bruises"

If you haven't seen the commercial for the new iPod Nano yet, you probably will soon (and probably over and over again, at that). And you might find yourself wondering, like I always seem to do these days with Apple ads, "Wow, who is singing that cute and catchy song?" Once upon a time, the Nano made Feist a star, and it feels like just yesterday I was downloading Yael Naim after seeing the Read more

What did you think of this year's Grammys?

Well, we knew the music industry's biggest award show would be huge this year since it was the Grammys' 50th birthday. Between the Beyonce and Tina Turner duet, Kanye's touching performance, and Feist's simple rendition of, "1 2 3 4," this year's Grammy Awards did not disappoint. What did you think? Was this one of the best Grammy shows you've seen in awhile? Or were there better, more Read more

Song of the Day: Feist, "Brandy Alexander"

Ever since Yum informed me that today is National Brandy Alexander Day, I haven't been able to get the chorus of the Feist song of the same name out of my head: "He's my Brandy Alexander Always gets me into trouble But that's another matter Brandy Alexander" As far as the downtempo songs from The Reminder go, it's one of my favorites; its particular sing-song-y quality also guarantees that once Read more

Music Video: Feist, "I Feel It All"

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 Read more
