While I prefer the original of this song (one of my two favorite tracks on The Reminder), I do admit that Feist‘s voice lends itself exceptionally well to remixes since it is so distinctive and always seems to just float over the top of whatever dense beats are laid down.

"I love the relationship that anyone has with music: because there's something in us that is beyond the reach of words, something that eludes and defies our best attempts to spit it out. It's the best part of us, probably, the richest and strangest part..."
—Nick Hornby, Songbook
"Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel."
—Hunter S. Thompson
Mp3s are for sampling purposes, kinda like when they give you the cheese cube at Costco, knowing that you'll often go home with having bought the whole 7 lb. spiced Brie log. They are left up for a limited time. If you LIKE the music, go and support these artists, buy their schwag, go to their concerts, purchase their CDs/records and tell all your friends. Rock on.

Just saw her at Bonnaroo (I missed the 2 dates in MA due to prior engagements, BOOOO) and she was so so so fantastic. Really a fun, energetic show. And she manages to turn songs that I like but don’t love (read: Brandy Alexander and Secret Heart) into something completely awesome. Have fun!

Forgot to add that I know how much you dig Pete Yorn, and now I get it. When I woke up from my epic sleep on Tuesday, the first thing I did was go to the record store and buy Day I Forgot.

Heather.. Feist is my new addiction. After so much time listening to Ray and all these singer song writers her new album is so refreshing. She’s been in my cd player now for weeks. Love, love, love her!
