wilcowilcowilco Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 i know this happens over and over again, but i really liked feist a lot but now that she is on tv every 5 minutes on the ipod commercial and vh1 videos and snl and everywhere else, i've sorta lost interest. just way too much overexposure. is this unavoidable or am i a brat?

embiggen Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I like most of what I have heard from her, but I'm damn sick of that song and I don't even watch that much tv any more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 i'm still not as keen on the new album compared to her last one, but i still think 1, 2, 3, 4 is a great song, overexposure or not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wilcowilcowilco Posted November 16, 2007 Author Share Posted November 16, 2007 i do watch way too much tv but should that change things? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
boywiththorninside Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I prefer Let It Die too. Even before the commercial/SNL, etc., I never listened to the new one much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cryptique Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I'm not real fond of what she did to that Ron Sexsmith song. Â Â They play that on the radio here pretty often. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The instrumentation on the album version is most of what bugs me. Her voice is pretty well suited to the song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stooka Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I'm a big fan. She's just adorable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I saw her open up for the Hives (of all people?) last week. She puts on quite a good show. I was impressed with her guitar work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jimmyjimmy Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I'm a big fan. She's just adorable. My sentiments. And she's a hoot live...Love me some Feist. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HighFives Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I have never heard her before. I just know bright eyes covers one of her songs that is all I have heard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blindgonzo Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Feist is one of my 3 girl crushes (the others being Cat Power and Joanna Newsom) :wub  I actually like The Reminder more than Let it Die, and I can't wait until I have to opportunity to see her live!!

solace Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 there's a few songs on The Reminder that are better than anything off Let It Die, but overall it's just too slow/mellow and a bit of a downer for me. i like her uptempo stuff a lot too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dreamin' Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I don't watch much TV, but this album is everywhere. I hear it playing in coffee shops, stores, etc. all day long. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the_fliz1 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Didn't she used to be Cat Power? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dreamin' Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Actually, Feist reminds me a little bit of Joni Mitchell sometimes. Maybe it's the (Canadian) prairie accent? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wilcowilcowilco Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 Bright Eyes is covering feist?!? yikes! Â I did hear an interview on NPR with her a while back and she gave a good interview - interesting and informative, so I don't want to be too harsh but it is a shame when you hear her everywhere now I'm so sick of it.

I liked the two songs from the SNL performance, but for the most part the album just put me to sleep. I'll check out Let It Die at some point... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheMaker Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Are you guys really hearing her "everywhere?" If so, good for her. I also dislike the iPod ad (surprise, surprise), but I don't watch nearly enough TV to have seen it more than once or twice. Saw her with Elvis Costello in Buff a few months ago, and yes, that bill is precisely as fucking awesome as it sounds. I played 1-2-3-4 on the jukebox at the local watering hole the other night, too! Woo! Interesting to note that The Reminder seems to take a back seat to LID in this thread. That's a first that I've observed. I used to be in that camp, but the new record is a lot more sophisticated and a bit of a grower compared to the last one. The only thing I don't like on it is the production on The Park. Definitely one of my favs of 2007, though. Her knack for songcraft is just exceedingly rare. Brandy Alexander, I Feel It All, My Moon My Man, etc. Tons of great stuff on here.

trevor Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 The only thing I don't like on it is the production on The Park. bingo. the only real gripe i have with the record. it could also lose a track or two and i wouldn't really mind that much. but otherwise, i do like it more than Let It Die. and other than that Apple Ad, do people really hear her everywhere? I rarely listen to radio anymore, but...I mean, come on, I'd rather Feist all the time then Gwen Stefani or any of the other alternatives. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 yeah, i dig the Park but it should have been a hidden track Quote Link to post Share on other sites
