Gonzales—friend, figaro and figurative frère to Feist—is crossing the pond. Fresh from breaking the Guinness World Record for persistent performance (27 hours, 3 minutes, 44 seconds), Gonzo will deliver his choppiest chops to North America on the cusp of Autumn. I...

Pitchfork just released a new Staff List, this one called The Top 50 Music Videos of the 2000s. Patrick Daughters' video for Feist (1,2,3,4) came in at number 5. If I believed in numerology, I'm sure this would make perfect sense...

Honey, Honey, the Feist video featuring the work of the Old Trout Puppet Workshop (and directed by the lovely and inimitable Anthony Seck), is screening at The Los Angeles Film Festival on both Saturday, June 20th (7pm) and Sunday, June 28th (5pm). You can purchase tickets for a screening here...
