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.
