It’s been a few years since the Feist‘s The Reminder. Needless to say, we all want more. Here at BeatCrave, we’ve made a few announcements about the indie artist’s latest project, Look At What The Light Did Now, which is a documentary film that details Feist’s breakthrough in 2007. We even gave away tickets for a screening at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. There has been very few screenings, so chances are you haven’t seen it – but don’t worry, you won’t have to wait much longer.

The Feist documentary film is set to release in stores December 7, 2010, just in time for Christmas.

If you missed out on how much fun we had at Hollywood Forever Cemetery with Belle & Sebastian last time, you’ve got another chance to take in an amazing experience in the eerie but lavish spectacular graveyard. Feist will be joining the “Movies with the Stars” tradition as she has chosen Los Angeles as one of the select cities to screen her brand, new documentary, Look At What The Light Did Now. It all goes down this Friday, October 15th and guess what? We have a pair of tickets to give away!

Although there won’t be a concert this time around, the documentary itself is chock-full of performances and interviews from time frame in which she made the album, The Reminder. In case you didn’t already know this, The Reminder spawned hits such as “1234″ which went on to be the anthem for the iPod nano commercial and it also has a nice video to boot. Just follow these extremely simple instructions below and the tickets could be yours!

With Broken Social Scene touring non-stop in 2010 and BSS satellite groups Stars and Metric also staying in the public eye, one often wondered what happened to Feist? By far the biggest breakthrough personality to emerge out of the collective, thanks to a catchy song and catchier iPod commercial, Leslie Feist followed chance commercial success all the way to the Grammys. And though we will have to wait a little longer for her follow-up to The Reminder, the singer has announced a limited screening run for a documentary about the making of her 2007 breakthrough, currently penciled in at seven cities over the next month.

Some bands don’t need all those theatrical special effects, their presence on stage is more than enough. This was the case for Wilco who graced the stage at Coney Island’s KeySpan Park Monday night, reports Reuters.

It was American rock ‘n’ roll at its finest with Wilco at the helm. The band took the stage after opening band Yo La Tengo, and began with the “cheeky, energetic” Wilco song. The band played songs from their latest self-titled album (previously released on June 30th) along with old-time energetic favorites such as I Am Trying to Break Your Heart and Summerteeth. The band also included some of their more mellow songs such as At Least That’s What You Said and, Bull Black Nova, off of their new album.

Feist stars in an eerie yet captivating short film (originally conceived as a music video) written and directed by Broken Social Scene‘s leading man, Kevin Drew. The 15-minute video also stars actors, Cillian Murphy and David Fox, and it is the furthest thing from her peppy music video for “1234.” The film shares the title with one of Feist’s tracks off of her latest album, The Reminder, and with “The Water” as the only song providing a soundtrack for this haunting but mesmerizing piece of art (about halfway through the film), there is no need for dialogue. Although there are a couple of lines spoken by two of the characters, the story beautifully unfolds on its own through the similarity and intensity between Feist and Murphy’s eyes.

Watch the entire film right here after the jump – thanks to Pitchfork.TV – because it will be available for only one week. Then, tell us what you think of it!

Until last night I had never been to the Hollywood Bowl, but I am already planning my next trip. What a fantastic venue. Usually I prefer a smaller venue when I’m seeing a show, but when my friend was buying tickets and asked if I’d like to go, I figured I would check it out. I’d heard two Feist songs before last night I’m sure anyone can guess which two; I was going for Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings. For those of you who haven’t heard the powerful Ms. Jones and the soulful sounds of the Dap Kings, I highly recommend checking them out.
