Filling in the Missing Links

I've got some great bands to tell you about, but there have been a couple of things that have gotten past me over the past couple of weeks that I really want to cover.
Here I go:

1) Feist!!! As you may know, we are huge friends of Feist (note: Monarch and Let It Die...seriously, buy these if you don't have them), and we were delighted to hear that her upcoming album The Reminder will be released May 30th. And in honor of the announcement, her record company has released one track to signal her coming. The song "My Moon, My Man" is a glitzy, piano-fluttering rock disco ditty (have I gotten your attention yet?) that features Feist ever loving jhai voice. I don't know what it is about Feist, but she has got one of the most incredible aesthetics I've ever experienced. Enough.
Get the track: My Moon, My Man.

2) Much ado has been made over the Andrew Bird appearance as Dr. Stringz. And for good reason. What a great guy! Even better in concert, I might add. Well, the video on youtube was short lived, but I managed to scrape off a pretty darn good quality video for those that haven't seen it yet (That's all you guys from elbo.ws). And for those of you who have still seen it but just need to bask in the Bird-ness a little bit more...

Yea for us!

3) Okay, let me get it out of the way. We were on VH1 Best Week Ever's website again for covering The Softlightes. Check it out here: We are Rockstars.

4) Good Weather for Air Strikes had a great post the other week about a song called "Thou Shalt Always Kill". It's great. Check it out.
