After the internet broke today from the sheer fabulousness of the news of a forthcoming Wilco/Feist collaboration, I was reminded of one of my favorite other Feist duets. An oldie but such a very-goodie:
Hangover Days (feat. Feist) – Jason Collett
Jason Collett has an extremely winning twang and howl to his voice, with those great storytelling lyrics. Feist couldn’t be lovelier, as usual.
Idols of Exile came out in 2005 on Arts & Crafts.
Name: Heather Browne
Location: Colorado, originally by way of California
"I love the relationship that anyone has with music: because there's something in us that is beyond the reach of words, something that eludes and defies our best attempts to spit it out. It's the best part of us, probably, the richest and strangest part..."
—Nick Hornby, Songbook
"Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel."
—Hunter S. Thompson
"I am fuel, you are friends / we got the means to make amends."
—Pearl Jam, Leash
Mp3s are for sampling purposes, kinda like when they give you the cheese cube at Costco, knowing that you'll often go home with having bought the whole 7 lb. spiced Brie log. They are left up for a limited time. If you LIKE the music, go and support these artists, buy their schwag, go to their concerts, purchase their CDs/records and tell all your friends. If you represent an artist or a label and would prefer that I remove a link to an mp3, please email me at browneheather@gmail.com
Got something I should hear? Email me at browneheather@gmail.com. Digital's usually best, but music submissions can also be sent to: Fuel/Friends, PO Box 64011, Colorado Springs, CO 80962-4011.

To give credit where credit is due, it’s probably important to point out that Emily Haines is on the original, album version.
Gotta keep that Arts & Crafts love evenly distributed, after all.

Have to admit I prefer the Emily version, though that is still AWESOME…
