Notes from the road
I have borrowed a picture of the Feist tour from
Pitchfork Media. The dates are going down like sugared figs, the reviews are sweet too(th). The food bank supplies have been arriving in piles and pounds, with donations tallying high in the meter beside.
The band has sharpened their road map skills from not just driving, nor the sun alone, but from the beating heart of survival. Feist fed them into the woods for an orienteering expedition and I have a feeling she arrived back at camp first. Those Feists are wily and good with a compass.
Are you good with directions? If so, you could head due South to unearth a review from the Edmonton Journal. You'll have to jump with a click, first, to get beneath the fold.

"Would Feist rise up to the challenge in a setting where rock 'n' roll megastars usually thrive, answering the call of throngs of screaming fans? The answer, as it now stands, is a resounding "yes."... Feist managed to keep things low-key, yet incredibly gratifying. From her use of stage props (screens, lights, confetti and "live" overhead projections), to nifty, looping vocal effects, there was an obvious sense of creativity and care in her performance....She went the extra mile with myriad little extra touches, and it made for a show that obviously wanted to give fans something special despite the sheer size of the room.
And those songs -- I Feel It All, My Moon My Man, Brandy Alexander and a thunderous Sea Lion Woman, if only to name a few -- are proof enough that Feist is headed straight for the stratosphere."

The Winnipeg concert was amazing! I think you are one of the few artists that sound better live! I think you put on an awesome show last night, and I guarantee everyone else thought you were great too!
Kudos to the artists who created the amazing backgrounds!
