cover song of the moment

I am very trilled about the Constantines and Feist’s cover of "Island In The Stream". The original song, written by Bee Gees, was performed by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton... and for you 90s hip-hop kids, it was sampled in Pras’ "Ghetto Supastar (That Is What You Are)". I absolutely adore the cover; these is such a beautiful chemistry coming from the voices of Constantines’ Steve Lambke and Feist as I am mesmerized by the song every time I hear it!

Being a graphic designer myself, I am a HUGE fan of packaging and poster arts. Naturally, I am in particular interested in album packagings and concert posters or just music related posters. I was visiting All Things Feist today and there was a link to Simone Goes’s blog – the artist who is responsible for designing Feist’s The Reminder. Be sure to check that out… I especially like the four gorgeous promotional posters!

out this week

Another great week for buying albums:

Feist: The Reminder
Most of the world is getting The Reminder this week while the poor people from North America have to wait till next week for this lovely and more poppy release than Let It Die. Without a doubt, Feist will only gain a even bigger fanbase with The Reminder.

i heart long walks during winter

It feels like -30 in Toronto right now and my half an hour walk to school is saved by Feist’s The Reminder, in particular her new single, "My Moon My Man" and "The Park". The transition between those songs is brilliant! There is this illusion of Feist actually 'walking' to the park and performing there as she finished My Moon My Man… it is genius!

Alright, here is a really really really (x1000) bad recording of Feist live at the Olympic Island. I started recording from the second song and the last three or four songs are missing because I ran out of memory on my cell.

(Warning: this is a horrible recording!)

If you want to hear a really good bootleg, listening to Feist amazing version of "Major Label Debut" live at Park West.

I found yet another high quality live concert by the mighty Feist. This one is "The Black Session" live on France Inter back in 2004. I have also found two bonus tracks that are only available on the UK import of Let It Die. Enjoy!

As many of you know, I went to the Jenny Lewis concert last Thursday. I did managed to seek my camera in. However, by the time I got into the venue, the place was already packed and I did not feel like pushing my way to the front. As a result, I did not take any pictures… well, I tried to, but they all ended up looking extremely blurry. The concert itself was great! Although I think Millie liked it 10000000x more than I did. (Millie has become a lesbian during the concert as she is now in love with Jenny Lewis!) I thought Jenny was amazing - her voice was spectacular live! She also brought along with her the Watson Twins, which were so goddamn cute!!!! They coordinated every move, even when they reach for their water bottles, they were always synchronized! My only complaint is that she didn’t perform “Handle with Care”.

I have been listening to lots of Canadian music this past week, mostly Final Fantasy and Feist and oh, I finally started listening to the new BBS album!

Feist - Nothin' in This World Can Stop me Worrying 'Bout That Girl (live Kinks cover)
i love the ending of this one!!

Broken Social Scene - Almost Crimes (Acoustic)
