Last night Feist’s Metals<\/strong> album won the annual Polaris Award given to the best album by a Canadian artist (a major laurel given the caliber of music coming out of Montreal, Ontario and other environs).\u00a0 While she was up against worthy opponents such as Kathleen Edwards (Voyageur), Japandroids (Celebration Rock), Handsome Furs (Sound Kapital)<\/strong> and Cold Specks (I Predict a Graceful Expulsion)<\/strong>, Metals is a quantum leap above all the other candidates’ offerings, and above most of its worldly competition.\u00a0 If you don’t “get” Feist, we highly recommend you watch<\/strong><\/a> some of her recent performances<\/a> <\/strong>and delve deeper into the Queen of Canadian Music’s<\/strong> outstanding oeuvre.<\/p>\n

Update:\u00a0 Watch\/listen to CBC’s interview with Leslie Feist:<\/p>\n
