Feist: "My Moon My Man" Boys Noize Remix
Canada's Feist broke out following the release of her third album, The Reminder, in 2007. The album cleared the Juno Awards in '08, and received a huge push thanks to iPod snatching "1234" for a nano commercial. That album also features "My Moon My Man", which was remixed that year by Boys Noize. The producer/DJ is also known to end some sets with his popular Feist remix. So, the remix is not exactly new, but it popped up on Hypem today, and now's as good a time as ever to give it some new shine. More recently, Feist linked up with her old band, Broken Social Scene for some gigs over the summer, and also participated in one of Beck's Record Club tapings. You can see her peform Skip Spence's "Weighted Down" right here. No word if Feist is working on new music, but she will be playing two shows in Vancouver come February. Download the Boys Noize remix below.

Schwerve's Magnum Opus: Top 1000 Songs and 100 Albums of The Decade (2005)
Disclaimer: Years are fairly arbitrary time periods. The only thing that makes a decade is the human conditions' odometer fetish. Unfortunately, like you, I'm human as well and fall prey to these tendencies. I can't claim to know everything, I'm just an educated observer; and here are my educated observations. They are not perfect and neither you nor I will completely agree with them in a years time, but that is the fun of lists.
