First Post!

My first ever blog post - this is exciting!  The home page of this site is where you'll find the latest about what the band is up to, but here on the blog I'm stoked to have a place to share my thoughts and creative inspirations.  Music is a spiritual endeavor for me, and I like to share things that affirm that experience.  

Lately Feist has been blowing my mind with her unreal singing, cool guitar playing and emotionally charged arrangements (check that horn line in "How Come You Never Go There").  I'm also impressed by how the live arrangements in the following vids differ dramatically from the recorded versions.  Seems like Feist is continually tweaking things to squeeze the biggest impact out of the tunes.  I like these performances even more than the recorded versions, and I like those a lot, so that's saying something!  "Secret Heart" is from Paris 2005, and "How Come You Never Go There" is from the David Letterman show only a few days ago (also worth mentioning that many otherwise capable bands sound horrible on live tv; not Feist).

*** edit *** Just learned that the three backup singers in "How Come You Never Go There" are their own group, Mountain Man, and they met at Bennington College!  

Enjoy!

Great job Miles! I would never have heard Feist at my ripe young age of 74 if you hadn't done this. I'm hooked!
