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
When I first picked up Canadian singer-songwriter Feist's breakthrough album, 2004's Let it Die, I thought it was perfectly pleasant background music. Her '70s-infused, lounge-y songs seemed perfect for a dinner party, or for playing faintly while I flipped through a magazine.

Leslie Feist, better known simply as Feist could easily be the next Norah Jones or a quirky indie darling along the lines of Cat Power or Joanna Newsom. Though the Calgary singer has played with weirdo electroclash artist Peaches and the more experimental Broken Social Scene, her lovely ballads are lush and catchy with a comforting DIY feel. This new track "My Man My Moon," from her next album, Read more
We say goodbye to McKinley High's graduating class of 2012 on this week's season finale of Glee, and while we'll be seeing a lot of these characters next year, for some, it was their swan song (pardon the pun). Everyone is feeling nostalgic, not the least of whom is Mr. Schue, who gives the kids an assignment of picking a goodbye song. The episode is mostly devoted to the characters giving each Read more
Most people are on the fence about crochet; it either reminds you of the easy, bohemian sensibilities of hippie-cool style icons like Janis Joplin and Stevie Nicks, or it calls to mind your grandma and her mystifying obsession with doilies. Though it may have folksy connotations, crochet doesn't have to be a total blast from the past — we love how a knit dress or pair of shorts looks over a Read more
