Radiohead, Cat Power, Mary J. Blige, Dionne Warwick and Feist each performed a gang of songs on the 200th episode of Later, With Jools Holland. The show had an interesting format, one which slowly becomes apparent during Feist's set when you realize Mary J. and Thom Yorke are part of the modern day barn-raising hootenanny. Feist performed three songs, including her revisionist Sea Lion, a "folk" song first recorded by Herbert Halpert for the Library of Congress (featuring the 14-year old Shipp Sisters). Watch the video here.
Feist actually spent a lot of time at the BBC recently, racking up on-air miles on The Culture Show (an interview with Lauren Laverne that aired on February 2nd) and on Dermot O'Leary's Radio 2.
