What to Download: New Music Today
Tuesdays are big in entertainmentville: not only do all the new DVD releases hit Netflix, but new music also pours into stores. So I take a spin through each week's music releases and pick out some albums and tracks worthy of a download.
Something sweet: Mandy Moore's new album is titled Amanda Leigh, which is also Moore's given name.
New Department of Eagles Video Is a Work of Art — Truly
This week, Department of Eagles duo Daniel Rossen (of the band Grizzly Bear) and Fred Nicolaus debuted their new video for the song "No One Does It Like You" at New York's Museum of Modern Art as part of the museum's ongoing PopRally series of events. The video's creators were on hand to chat about this amazing video with a sold-out crowd.
The director, Patrick Daughters, is also the man behind Feist's "1,2,3,4" video, so it's not totally surprising to find some impressive choreography sprinkled throughout.

Live Clip: Feist Sings "1 2 3 4" with Grizzly Bear, AC Newman and More on "Letterman"
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.
Concert Review: Feist and Grizzly Bear at the Fillmore, 6/27/07
Never having seen Feist perform live before, I wasn't sure quite what to expect from her live show this week at The Fillmore in San Francisco. Though I loved the "I Feel It All" video she did for the DL show, she didn't really take command of that tiny room, so I really wasn't sure how she'd do in front of a sold-out crowd.
To my delight, however, Feist had stage presence to spare at the Fillmore, laughing at her own forgotten lyrics, enlisting the crowd in a sing-along, and even hopping on top of the piano to croon the Broken Social Scene song "Lover's Spit" with the band's Kevin Drew.
Song of the Day: Grizzly Bear, "Graceland"
Grizzly Bear's second album Yellow House is a beautifully textured, trippy, and mellow piece of folk. On this cover of Paul Simon's "Graceland," they apply the same formula to an entirely different sort of folk music for a sound that's at once warm and chilling and very novel. Listen below and let me know what you think.

Highlights From the 2009 Treasure Island Music Festival
As expected, this year's Treasure Island Music Festival was a well-rounded weekend of awesome live music, dancing, and pretty views of San Francisco. The gorgeous and warm weather on Saturday fit the bill for the lineup that had a heavier concentration of electronic music and DJs (like MGMT and Girl Talk), while on Sunday I bundled up and chilled out to The Decemberists and Grizzly Bear. All in all it was an awesome weekend that ended with a bang as The Flaming Lips closed down the party.
