Check out a recent NPR feature (article and audio stream) on Feist. I’ve yet to listen to it, but your standard life sums up the topics discussed: “indie crowd vs Starbucks crowd, starting out in a punkrock band, damaged vocal chords, the birds in downtownToronto, learning guitar.”

I’ve been listening to Blair (via herspace), “the musical meeting of Dolly Parton and Radiohead,” non-stop since I heard about her and just ordered her EP. She’s got one of those voices that draws you in and doesn’t let go. Plus, she’s a fantastic song writer.
