We are shaking our heads in disbelief.
We are beyond pleased to report that on April 29, a flash mob of 300 dancers infiltrated the public concourse of the Eaton Center, Toronto, with a mass dance to Feist's "feel it all" remix by Escort. It was International Dance Day, and the Canadian National Ballet School’s community members, choreographed by Matjash Mrozewski, took over the space, danced en masse, and just as quickly disappeared back into the de facto audience of stunned shoppers.
Any and all of these dancers are invited to do that kind of thing at any future Feist show..... just sayin'.
Feist's 4 for 4 Grammy losing streak has been broken!
In triumphant news for the Colbert nation, Stephen's DVD "A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All!", won the Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album. The musical special featured an eclectic roster of singers, including Feist as a nail-filing angel in a headset taking messages for the big man upstairs.
Other musical performers sharing 1/7th in the victory include Jon Stewart, Toby Keith, Elvis Costello, John Legend, Willie Nelson and, of course, Colbert himself.
Maybe the halo and wings did the trick? Six more wins like this and Feist might just have a statue in her hands.
Feist is joining efforts to raise funds in support of relief efforts in Haiti. This Friday, January 31st in Hamilton, Ontario, news bulletins report Feist "may play solo, she may play duo, she may play two, or a few. She may play new." The line-up includes an ever-growing list of many.
Tickets for the event are $25 and will be available through Ticketmaster and the Copps Coliseum box office. The concert is happening at Hamilton Place.
Proceeds will be distributed to three agencies: Canadian Friends of Albert Schweitzer Hospital, Joy and Hope of Haiti and International Child Care.
Here's a new Oar song, one just released from the steady hands of Captain Beck, a worthy man helming the ship B.H. Recording Club. Feist and Jeff Tweedy sing leagues above the sea below.
