Hey guys!

I went to one of her concerts a while back and really liked it (Anybody know this Gonzalez guy? Her supporting act. Plain funny!) I thought I couldn't get into her music which sounded a bit to whiny normal at first. Well, I was wrong, but now I find it hard to find comparable artist which are any good. Any suggestion?

I'll get back you on that in a sec (Im working)---but tell me...don't you just LOVE Gonzales!? They had a fantastic documentary about him here on one of the arts channels!

Ottensen said:

Since you are "Ottensen" I guess you went to CCH concert in Hamburg?

Oh, is it Gonzale"S"? My mistake. He nailed it, so damn funny! What documentary was that? Was it on arte?

She's from my city!

Did you get her 2004 album?

I recommend the album by new artist Bat for Lashes entitled 'Fur and Gold'
To me it has a similar vibe as The Reminder

I thought Feist was rather tepid and bland.

Live or on album?

Try these:

Nicole Atkins - Neptune City
Cat Power - Moon Pix
Cat Power - You Are Free
Charlotte Gainsbourg - 5:55
Joan As Policewoman - Real Life
The Like - Are You Thinking What I'm Thinking?
My Brightest Diamond - Bring Me The Workhorse
The Pierces - Thirteen Tales Of Love And Revenge
Rilo Kiley - Under The Blacklight
Regina Spektor - Begin To Hope
Tegan And Sara - The Con (not my favorite album of theirs by far, but you might like it)

perfect list.

...but sex---where's the shout out to Jane Birkin???

sextonseven said:

also from Feist's hometown

Ottensen said:

The only Jane Birkin I have is the album she did with Serge back in 1969. I wanted to stay relatively current.

Lesbians love them.

I wonder why.

sextonseven said:

Thanks sextonseven! I will try them.

Anybody knows Mocky? I friend of mine has one of his albums. Sounds a bit like our little friend and Feist had a sleepover.

BlueNote said:

I have never heard of Mocky.

Maybe I was too specific in recommending all female artists, but I hope you find something you like in there. The Bat For Lashes record that was suggested earlier is also very goood.

I just saw a Scottish singer recently who reminded me a little of Feist.

Damn I can't remember her name, but I saw her on Letterman just a week or so ago.

KT Tunstall? I heard the first single from her latest album which was okay, but it didn't move me enough to want to hear more.

sextonseven said:

Yeah that's her! I agree it didn't blow me away, but it was decent.

You should check him out on his myspace page...
