Musical Moment

Only a few days away from home, and I’ve fallen in love with a Canadian girl.  You have to be quick - it’s a short season.  And, no, it’s not Meg - everybody loves Meg, so that wouldn’t really be bloggable news.  No, it’s a Canadian singer/songwriter named Feist that I heard on KEXP, they played a song from her new album Let It Die.  I dug around and found this live performance on KCRW and was really taken with it.  The live performance is solo (she’s touring solo, I found that I missed her last week in Seattle), and it’s personal and riveting, whereas I find the album poppy and sort of slight.  It may grow on me, though.  Or, I may decide it was a ridiculous infatuation that will be mercifully obscured by the imminent onset of the Canadian winter.  Give it a listen and tell me what you think.
