Cherry Bomb" features a patterned land of floating light bulbs and drums, construction paper lightning, clapping hands (real and fake), a little 'c'mon' and...

The folks at the Black Cab Sessions continue to exploit the heretofore untapped acoustic potential of London black cab's back seats with Spoonman Britt Daniel, who give us Fiction's "I Summon You."

Feist's "I Feel It All" single comes stacked with a few instances of the ultimate promotional tool: the remix. Fair enough, some of you were getting a little restless at the remix glut after we took a listen to Grizzly Bear's stabs and flourishes at the track, but it's worth noting that Chilly Gonzales and Britt sort of kill it. Gonzales's version is a total track transformation (think sexy, dusky, dancefloor). And as mentioned, Britt adds to the track by cutting stuff away, reforming Leslie's rollicking roots rock tune by sculpting it in his own band's image. The result is as spare and lean as a Spoon track with no guitars necessary: just a taut thwumping bass line, a tambourine, and a rising and ebbing and echoing Feist vocal. Nice job, Britt From Spoon.

Even when Leslie's wielding an explosive stick, it can be difficult remembering she has more tunes than one iPod commercial. This week, though, Arts & Crafts are giving us a reminder (ha) that, yes, Feist can do more than count to four by releasing the "I Feel It All" single with remixes by Britt Daniel, Gonzales, and Grizzly Bear. The former two take on the single, Grizzly do The Reminder's first single "My Moon My Man." So far there's just a clip of the Grizz mix, but 'tis a pretty, flourish-filled clip indeed, my man. (via)
