Oh man! Even more music for numbers
Contributor
This is week two of our big subscriber drive. As we noted in our earlier post, we really want more people to check into the site and sign up to the newsletter, and to encourage you to spread the word, we have a stack of CDs to give away. And when I say a stack, I mean a wobbling, teetering stack. The grand prize, which will be dished out to one lucky, randomly selected winner, comes courtesy of our good friends at Universal Music [check the list of albums at the bottom of this post]. On top of this, for the next two weeks, we’ll also be giving away new Basement Digs / Stones Throw releases thanks to our good friends at Creative Vibes to randomly selected people who help to spread the good word. Let’s face it … sharing really is caring.

Patrick Daughters
Reader Find
We’ve gushed over Feist plenty of times before, but it’s time to talk about Feist’s ’1234′ music video entered by Patrick Daughters in this year’s Portable Film Festival (oh by the way, the festival is now open). ‘Shot in one take, it has been cleverly choreographed to create a quirky stream of colour and movement’.

Music for numbers
Contributor
This week kicks off a big subscriber drive on Lost At E Minor. We really want more people to check into the site and sign up to the newsletter, and we’re prepared to pay you to help us get there. Well, in CDs anyway. And only one of you. Chosen at random. But it’s a bumper of a prize featuring a stack of albums from our good friends at Universal Music.

My Moon My Man

It’s the fourth of July here in New York, a day of patriotism, fireworks and hotdogs; sleep-ins, strong coffees, and rooftop barbies. Yup, god bless America and this damn pleasant national holiday. [illustration by Marcos Chin] Listen to the Feist song, My Moon My Man.

Dawn Landes covers Young Folks
Reader Find
If you haven’t heard the Peter Bjorn and John song Young Folks you’ve been under a rock. Or at least somewhere far away from the radio, which is lucky for you because I’m well over it. However, I do like this cover. Kentucky-born New York performer and sound engineer Dawn Landes has recorded a version [...]

Feist takes the bus
Contributor
Ok. Get past the cheesy Americanized intro and you’ll see a startlingly good live performance of the Fiest track, Feel It All. We linked to the MP3 of this song a week or so back. But this is her rough and raw, singing like a whiskey beaten angel as the bus trawls its way through [...]

Tattoo my name on your ass

There’s an excellent MP3 mix on the Marathon Packs blog featuring the likes of !!!, Field Music [pictured], Feist and Apostle of Hustle amongst many others. I’ve had it constant rotation since I chanced upon it. [see also Vampire Weekend]

Bat For Lashes
Reader Find
Fronted by the ethereal Kate Bush-like vocals of Natasha Khan, Bat For Lashes creates atmospheric, almost hymn-like music, weaving wicked melodies around simple instrumentation. [see also Feist] Listen to the Bat For Lashes song, Prescilla. [audio:http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/7/4/1239359/Prescilla.mp3]

Feist
Contributor
Ummm. This is just too damn good. Seriously. I would trade my entire collection of Archie comics to have been in the recording studio the day this vocal went down, listening to a voice so pure that if Mt Franklin could bottle it and sell it at a premium they probably would. [see also Planning [...]
