New Feist Video - "Honey Honey"
When you think "Feist," you generally think "Feist video." When you think "Feist video" you likely imagine one-take clips featuring airport walkways, blue sequined jumpers, or a magical Canadian stick that makes oil drums explode. Feist's "Honey Honey" clip is less rambunctious (or "Feist-y," if you will), and it includes more takes. On the downside, there's less Leslie (and, worse, way less anguished red monsters). You do, however, get a magical little lighthouse complex, fish bones, an old sailor whose sail's morphed to look like his face (sailing in front of a honey-colored sky), and the old woman who waits on dry land (until she doesn't) and loves him.
Leslie as God? Nano money can do a lot to a person (make you rich, more famous) and as NME reports, Feist's taking a break from music after her current Canadian tour comes to a close. She needs to "rest for a minute":
[My career] has become kind of large and it really began for me very, very small ... like me alone in my bedroom with my four-track and a pair of headphones.I just need to go back there for a while to get my bearings again and then know what to do next. I just need to let it rest for a minute.
She also doesn't intend to play with Broken Social Scene anymore ("It's not really as interesting for me as it once was"). The last date on her tour's 11/10 at the Confederation Centre Of The Arts in Charlottetown, PEI (Prince Edward Island, Americans). No worries she's still coming over for Christmas.

Clever video. I always enjoy music videos more when the artist isn't in them, that's not to say that there aren't great music videos featuring the artists. I just think it takes a lot more time and creativity to come up with a video like this. Videos where the artist aren't present are more like mini movies, a quick telling of a story and it's much easier for me to get into. Any kind of animated videos are really unique as well. I've always been a big fan of Of Montreal's video for "Wraith Pinned to the Mist and Other Games." The playful animated animals running through fields of flowers and beautiful snowscapes are killing and hurting one another. It's really bizarre to watch when it's synced up to the quick moving, excited sound of the song. Either way, I like the new Feist video a lot; interesting, different.
