From Canada, but AC lives in Park Slope now. Feist, who knows.

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?

that sufjan and david byrnes duet was dreadful though.

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?
