tauiwi Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 What came first, Feist or Apple's ipod ad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMagpie Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 FEIST!!! hahaha Well I guess here in Canada she has had lots of attention throughout her career. However the iPod ad was enough to get her a new artist nomination for the Grammys for her third album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauiwi Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 And for her to explode internationally. Like Metric with Fantasies, only their album was good enough it didn't need an ipod ad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMagpie Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 So did Metric break through in Australia with Fantasies? Its hard to judge your own countries band's international following/exposure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauiwi Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Yeah for sure. It was given as 'Album of the week' on alternative radio station 'Triple J' which plays all the album tracks for one week throughout their normal playlist. It wasn't so crash hot on commercial radio, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMagpie Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Cool. Gotcha. We don't really have a good alternative Radiohead station here. Its either top 40 crap, oldies, or rock with way too much Nickleback. Although one of our online stations CBC Radio 3 is rather spectacular.

Crests Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I'm kinda happy I'm finally starting to love female singers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crests Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I'm actually starting to get tired of male voices, and trying to find music with powerful female voices instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMagpie Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Radiohead station? lol Freudian slip haha. I'm actually starting to get tired of male voices, and trying to find music with powerful female voices instead Cool, who have you listened to so far? I can see if I have some recommendations.

Ahlem Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Is it wrong that I find hilarity in the fact that the song in your story happens to be called "Blindness"? :dozey: Same here, although I think it was Feist that hooked me first. I never had anything against female singers, but they didn't appeal to me for longer. Now I enjoy them every bit as much as male vocalists, however. :D hahahaha not wrong at all :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahlem Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 humm now that i think... in the female vocalist category, i used to listen to Morcheeba, i liked so much the song 'enjoy the ride' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crests Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Cool, who have you listened to so far? I can see if I have some recommendations. Really, the only females I've ever listened to are Feist, Metric, The Knife/Fever Ray, Bjork and now Joy Formidable. I don't really know the right word for the vocals I'm looking for other than strong, but any artist would do probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
