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.
