Feist on Colbert
This is worth watching just for the sight gag at the beginning, if not for Feist's usual, ahem, sparkling performance.
Amy Airattic says that I'm in love with her. I think after watching her banter with Colbert, I think I wish she could my BFF. Rumor has it that most of the Toronto indie band scene feels just about the same way.
Watch the interview here. (DDBers. Shades of Puno at all here?) here:

Fleet Foxes cover Fleetwood Mac
Desperately trying to avoid writing a pun here....
Ah. Made it.
A whole new post about Fleet Foxes is sure to come sometime soon.
My Morning Jacket (hearts) the Interwebs
Some fine writing by My Morning Jacket. Huge bonus points for using the term 'interwebs'.
Find it here.
hello all you fine and wonderful people out there that are interested in what we do. we now live in the 90's - the era of the interweb and instant gratification. these are confusing times for all humankind, but especially for those of us in the music world as you well know... a week or so ago we played some of our new songs for the first time at a show in houston tx! about an hour later all of those songs were available on the interweb- talk about speed!!! since those and other non-album audiovisual recordings are available to people on the interweb, we wanted to make at least one "real" song version available (if one was interested in what the "real actual studio album" might sound like) to those of you who have supported us most and have seemed most excited about what we are doing over the years.
so here is the song "evil urges". we sure hope you are to enjoy it! we would put the whole thing out there on the interweb, but gosh darn-it, we're still a little old fashioned in that way of wanting the listener to be able to get the actual music when it is supposed to be released, when we say it is finished- not when someone else puts it on the interweb.... but it is the 90's now, we understand that. its a new decade and we want to be part of this decade, but whilst still maintaining a link to the past - where one can't necessarily get everything they want immediately when they want it, but rather when they are told they can have it - by their real life keeper or their digital daddy! we will play both roles here. we all personally relish waiting to unwrap that shrink wrap and smelling that fresh vinyl or compact disc plastic, mmm...that fresh cardboard and paper. or if we buy it off the interweb we all love holding our computers up to our noses and smelling those brand new digital downloads...mmm...fresh! gall durn it- we're just old fashioned that way. sometimes... gentle reader, in this age of instant gratification, waiting can be so rewarding, it can teach us a valuable lesson about the triumph of the human spirit... but sometimes, like our old friend tom petty said- waiting is the hardest part. thank you all for being so supportive of us, and unending in your love... from the bottom of our cold dead hearts!
love,
mmj!

New Mates of State
They abandon the male/female harmony thing in this one. Maybe that's why the one guy is so angry...
A pretty song, but it's missing the lovey-dovey je nais se qua that makes Mates so good.

Yeasayer/Nosayer
This is Yeasayer and their fantastic Talking Heads by way of the apocalypse '2080' on the British show Jools Holland.
The top video (watch about 60 seconds) seems like the singer decided to simultaneously emulate Rick Astley, Ewan McGregor, Morrissey and Ian Curtis' epilepsy. With an ugly version of Spinal Tap's bassist and an effette Rivers Cuomo on drums. Horrendous.
Then watch the bottom video (start at about 1:37 if you're impatient. (FFwd to 3:15 if you're really impatient especially where the apartment crowd starts yelling "HELL YEAH! WE CAN ALWAY JUMP AT THE CHANCE TO BECOME HANDSOME FARMERS.!)) What the fuck happened?
