Feist
Holiday Spirit, Courtesy of Stephen Colbert
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 10 p.m.
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 (presumably) wonders what's happened to him.

Song of the Day: Who's Singing That iPod Nano Commercial?
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 MacBook Air ads airing between my favorite shows.
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.

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 it's in my head, I'll start involuntarily swaying back and forth, hoping none of my coworkers notice.
In case you've also been afflicted with this problem today, I decided to dig up a version of "Brandy Alexander." Feist hasn't made an official video of the song, but luckily, YouTube had several clips of her performing it live.
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.
