this may best last year.
last year's highlight: john roderick. stole the show and was hysterical.
Posted by tom | July 19, 2007 4:13 PM
the country's best? aren't feist and ac from canada?
Posted by maura | July 19, 2007 4:14 PM
john roderick definitely stole the show last year. sufjan was disappointing.
Posted by jason | July 19, 2007 4:29 PM
From Canada, but AC lives in Park Slope now. Feist, who knows.

Posted by Dan | July 19, 2007 6:06 PM

Posted by kevin | July 19, 2007 7:11 PM
Feist is from Alberta, Canada.

I wasn't disappointed by Sufjan last year. He did have a nervous sort of energy, but I thought it was charming.His story was amazing and it was great to see him with such a small backing band too.

love the feist + harry potter mash-up you made. shall we take bets on what book she's going to read aloud?
Posted by inittowinit | July 20, 2007 2:12 AM
that sufjan and david byrnes duet was dreadful though.

Aren't the front rows at Radio City AA, BB, and so on? Or are they foregoing that for this show?

Got Row A as well. I hope Demetri is up to the hosting task.
Is it just me or does Feist/her music seem to be showing up everywhere lately?
