10.05.2005 Feist/Jason Collet/New Buffalo

oh commodore why do you have to hate so much w/ your love of tables near my workspace?

New Buffalo: is a one woman band. from europe i think. she's arts and craft's newest signing. she also has no connection to the other A&C'ers, but then again neither does american anolog set. all i remember about her was that she opened up with 'Ive got you and you got me' and that her singing voice lacked variation and was somewhat boring.

Jason Collet: a little more country-ish twang in his set than i expected. was decent. don't think i was as bored for his set. he did hangover days with feist. (emily haines sings it on the album) Leslie does a pretty good job of pulling it off i guess, however i didn't think her "don't pull that shit on me" was convincing. after that song she disappears only to reappear to drum on 'almost summer'. quite amusing. she can definitely drum. i wouldn't call her a metronome though...

Feist: about halfway into her set i was getting sore-back-itis. oooooaaah..... :*( she does about 3-4 songs solo w/o her band. of which, a vocal loop is used. for some songs she'd sing something and then loop it, sing while the loop is playing while recording it, and repeat, layering vocals. very neat. leslie also admitted her disinterest in hockey. mushaboom was sung w/ jason collet + a few members of his band doing backup. also noticed feist's backup band had problems clapping in unision. :) he also came out to sing during the encore. they also played a broken social scene cover, 'major label debut'. which was nice because her run w/ BSS runs out the day before they hit vancouver.
