I Love Counting, Counting to the Number 4

Feist on Sesame Street, duh:


She's hot, penguins are neat, video's pretty cute; but you have to admit the baby-friendly lyrics made it kind of eerie! Right? That or the fact that I can't help but think about all the toddlers who might never come to realize all that is Leslie Feist. Think about it—do you remember all of your favorite guest appearances from the ages of 0-5? Probably not.

Wonder if she'll rejoin Broken Social Scene for any upcoming projects, seeing that she's probably too cool now.

Wheee! Or as the image might suggest, Roooarr!

Work it girl, work it.

For Cyn, BSS - Lover's Spit:


And cover a la Feist:


Cheers

P.S. She's playing in Berkeley tomorrow night if anyone's interested; 40$ a pop.

Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?

We're not dead, promise.

To keep you happy and entertained while we regroup and reassess, here is the first music video from She & Him duo, actress Zooey Deschanel (Elf, The Happening) and singer/songwriter/guitarist M. Ward:



Cute, huh? So cute that many Zooeys, in fact, were decapitated in the making of this video. "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?" was directed by Ace Norton who has worked with numerous artists we love, from Death Cab for Cutie and LCD Soundsystem to Simian Mobile Disco and Santogold. Check out his work at Acenorton.com (and be sure to watch Desmondh's review on this video—funny guy).

This past March I saw the two in concert at the Great American Music Hall here in San Francisco as part of Noise Pop 2008 and I have to say Zooey is just as cute live as she is on screen. Below are some photos from Brooklyn Vegan:
