i guess that's how the future's done




While many locals went to the Basilica block party last nite to consume giant turkey legs & the like, JRDN & I (& Lisa) ventured instead over to Dinkytown to check out the solo Leslie Feist show at the recently reopened Varsity Theater with the rest of the Mpls hipsters music lovers.

I had never been inside the Varsity, so I was taken by surprise at how swanky the place has become. The decor in the lobby is arty-yet-classic, but the layout of the main room is striking (especially for this town) in how the atmosphere is so cozy & lounge-like. While the floor is populated by candlestick-adorned tables & chairs (which extend into surrounding risers), at each side of the stage are red shag-covered beds set up as stadium-seating, allowing concert attendees to get far more comfortable than usual.



I had only seen Feist once before, when I popped my Broken Social Scene cherry at NYC's Mercury Lounge back in summer 2003, so I had been looking forward to catching her solo material for quite some time. While I was hoping to see her fronting a full band (she'll be coming back to do so in September), I wound up relishing the intimacy of her truly solo act.

Feist sauntered out on stage with a candle in one hand around 9:15pm, receiving a hefty amount of applause upon her arrival. She began her set with a cover (I think) that featured the use of a digital loop, which she used throughout the show to build layers of vocals (or create a phantom rhythm guitarist) to help fill out her just-a-gal-with-a-guitar sound.



Feist lightheartedly joked around with the audience throughout her set, encouraging people to check out fellow Canandians Sloan (who are in Mpls tonite), teasing Broken Social Scene's "KC Accidental" & really commanding attention as the nite's singular headline performer. A group of (drunken?) guys sitting behind us to the right of the stage were a little too enthusiastic with their Feist worshop, repeatedly yelling out "I love you!" & panting with lust. Feist took it all in good humor, even inviting the guys on stage with her to perform (after the fact) the "mushaboom, mushaboom" part in, well, "Mushaboom." Returning to their "seats," several of the guys commented that they had just orgasmed. JRDN, Lisa & I assumed they were headed home for a good circle jerk after the show. I know, ewwww.

MOV Feist - "Inside & Out (Apostle of Hustle Unmix)" (28.5mb)
Feist closed her main set with a slowed down, "undancible" version of the Bee Gees' "Inside & Out", which I got most of on video (please excuse my split-second sorry attempt at singing along). She explained that she included the cover on Let It Die after she got into the habit of making fun of album producer Chilly Gonzales, whose background vocal tracks always sounded like Barry Gibb (she teased him by referring to him as "Barely Give"). This disco-less version was arranged by Apostle of Hustle's Julian Brown, who helped Feist come up with a way to perform it for British radio without doing karaoke over a dance beat (ugh). The song's original video:

WMV Feist - "Inside & Out" video (7.2mb)



MOV Feist - "One Evening" video (24.7mb)
I love this video for a variety of reasons. The simple "set" design. Feist getting her boogie on with Canadian rapper Buck 65. The sheer 70's AM cheesiness of it all, which Feist embraces whole hog. The video was directed by George Vale, who also did the "Almost Crimes" video (w/Feist) for BSS.

MOV Broken Social Scene - "Almost Crimes" video (32.9mb)

Catching up on older shows will resume soon enough, but I wanted to post the recap/pix from this show right away, so I didn't forget all the details (which has been problematic of late). Anyway, gotta get back to work...

ETA: Dah, I totally overlooked Feist's session last Friday at The Current:

MP3 Feist @ The Current 7/8/05 (stream 128kbps)
RAM Feist @ The Current 7/8/05 (stream 20kbps)

Kudos to For the 'records' (who's on a BSS kick of late) for reminding me.

duh.

That video of her acoustic rendition of "Inside and Out" is great! But definitely check out her show when she plays with a full band because the band version of the song is hot. Maybe'll she give you a display of her disco dancing skills like she did here in Toronto at her recent show at Harbourfront.    


Blogger mr gilbert @ 7/11/2005 01:02:00 PM:

hey, that was you. neat.

yeah, i was sitting directly in front of those guys. the moron who made the "comic book guy" comment was particularly annoying, and got strangely worked up (how drunk was he?) when he made the comment.

i think a lot of people would like to have taken those louts out back as well, but thankfully we were far too minnesota nice. i have to commend feist for staying cool and making light of the whole situation. what a classy broad.

yup, "let it die" was (scroll down) used on the oc back in december (w/seth & summer dancing at their winter formal). though i don't know if they were "frat guys" so to speak (who might not find leslie so "orgasmic"), but rather really over-excited (& drunk/high/stupid) upscale indie fanboys. whatever, they sucked - and they got on stage. insult to injury, urgh.

Those are my pics and vids from the show.
I could not believe the nerve of that dork when she was explaining the cover differences: "just play some music please!" At least he was soundly booed by the audience. Good lord, buddy. Go to the frat house party and leave music fans to enjoy a show in peace.
She handled it well, though, and I thought heaped some coals on the guys by "inviting" ("forcing"?) them onto the stage...    


Blogger mr gilbert @ 7/13/2005 11:55:00 AM:

kyle, i took the "comic book guy" comment to be a reference to said character on the simpsons. he took your album cover question to be of the overly-geeky, fanboy-minutiae-obsessed variety. what a tool.

i'm not sure which feist cover i like better. i've got the original one (via arts & crafts) & like it well enough, but the new one is so intimate (& red hot), albeit very in-your-face. it's a toughie.

solace,
glad you checked out some of the pics.
My employer does Personal Time Off (PTO) days. So, it's our vacation and sick time rolled in to one. Since I don't have to take sick days... I have a lot of vacation days to take. And you guessed right about my wife -- she's a teacher.

We have never been to Spain. We almost tried to squeeze it in one year but as you can see, we pack a pretty tight itinerary anyway. Sounds like you are already hooked on travelling in Europe.

We live cheaply all year long for those three years, and then took those nice trips. Man they were great and we are so glad we went.

This year we're going slighly cheaper -- camping/driving trip up until French Canada. C'est bien!

Hi, I found this blog article while searching for a song from a Lacoste TV ad. In the lyrics I clearly hear the phrase that's the title for this article ("I guess that's how the future's done"). I wonder if that phrase is from a song by Feist (never heard of her before, and I feel like I'm missing out on something ;-)) and, if so, which song on which album (in case there's more than one.
Thanks, people, in advance,
Lucas
