Smiles

I've watched the video for Feist's 1, 2, 3, 4 too many times now, but it still leaves me unreasonably happy each time I see it.


One of the commenters in the YouTube thread had this to say about it:
Damn! When did Bjork get so skinny? Or is it Cat Power so happy? Or is it Charlotte Gainsbourg in sequins? who knows, they're all alike . . .
I can't agree that they're all alike, but there does seem to be some sort of connection there. A happier and more energetic Cat Power would probably bear more than a bit of a resemblance to Feist. Even so, this video for "Cross Bones Style" leaves me in something like the same mood:


Another connection between the two is that many, if not most of the comment threads on both videos consist of variations on "I'm so in love with her".

Feist shows another side in video for One Evening. Time to go buy the CD.
