Feist Covers “November Rain” In The Wackiest Way Possible
Tue Jan 3 2012 by Becky Bain
Don't let Feist's often subdued countenance fool you into thinking she doesn't have a goofy side. While performing in Mexico City, not only did she bust out a cover of Guns N Roses' epic "November Rain", and not only did she bring along a Slash impersonator for the crazy guitar solo, but the Canadian songstress concluded the performance by whacking a giant pinata that descended from the ceiling. This is pretty much how every concert should end. Watch the insanity below.

Wed Oct 12 2011 by Robbie Daw

The North Carolina crooner embarked on a series of high-profile promotional appearances last week behind his album, which sold 197,000 copies.

Mon Mar 30 2009 by Maura
Canadian heshers Nickelback took home Album Of The Year, Group Of The Year, and the Juno Fan Choice Award at last night’s Juno Awards, which reward the best that Canadian music has to offer. (Gene Simmons is probably very, very excited right now.) Other winners: The sinewy Kardinal Offishall/Akon collab “Dangerous,” which won Single Of The Year; Alanis Morrissette, whose Flavors Of Entanglement picked up the Pop Album trophy; and the Stills, who brought home New Group of the Year and the Alternative Album award. Full list of winners after the jump.
The Red Hot Compilations Make A Comeback
Wed May 28 2008 by Dan Gibson
The sixteenth volume in the Red Hot series of compilations, which raise funds for AIDS research, is coming in 2009, featuring a very Starbucks-friendly duet between Ben Gibbard and Feist, as well as tracks from David Byrne, Sufjan Stevens, The Decemberists, and The National (who are also producing the compilation). The fact that there are fifteen volumes in the series blew my mind, especially as the series has done a good job of capturing various trends in music since the first volume hit stores in 1990.
Jingle Writing Goes The “American Idol” Route
Mon Apr 14 2008 by Maura
CBS has decided to pick up the Mark Burnett game show Jingles, during which contestants will be required to write songs showcasing the various sponsors of the program in a positive light, then have those tunes judged by an “expert panel” and Americans. Winning songs will get used in the featured products’ commercials, a fact that should make any indie musician hoping to pay his rent by selling his track to a soap company quiver in his boots. The designed-for-evading-TiVoers show will likely appear on the network’s schedule come summertime, and casting is apparently going on right now! Here’s a suggestion for CBS: How about cueing up a “marginal indie celebrity” version of the show to bring down your network’s average viewing age–perhaps Feist vs. Wilco vs. Stephin Merritt? A preview of that potential throwdown is after the jump.

“It’s arguable that Feist isn’t indie (Cherrytree, her U.S. label, is owned by Interscope), and some might say that her commercial breakthrough and her agreeable sound may strongly correlate to that fact. But she’s still on the independent Arts & Crafts label in Canada. More »
