Welcome to The Weekly Feed!
It's a one hour specialty show hosted by Kyle Meredith from the WFPK studios in Louisville, KY. We find the newest, best, and most discussed tracks making waves across the net and compile them all into a mixtape bent on keeping you up-to-date.
Leslie Feist. During the formalities at the beginning of the call (not heard here), she said my name. Just said Kyle. I almost lost it.
Seriously though (as if I weren’t), it’s great to have her back, which is a funny thing to say since she’s been so busy in the space between her records: collaborations, touring and whatnot. In this 15 minute chat, we talk about everything from her upcoming Mastadon collaboration, how she defines a sexy Canadian, expectations and her latest LP, Metals.
Feist Interview, December 2011 by TheWeeklyFeed
Welcome to another week. Why not get things started with a roundup of the biggest songs on the music blogs. I mean, one cannot survive on old music alone! Plus, we’ve got Feist on this week’s episode. And she’s pretty perfect. And she talks about the qualities in a man that she’s attracted to. Okay, so technically she speaks for the whole of Canada, but I imagine that there’s her own states in there as well.

Elton John gets catty with Madonna, Jay-Z assure us that he has one new baby but “bitch” is still in his vocab, Happy Mondays are available to play your next neighborhood bbq, and we say goodbye to Lookout Records.

First things first: Laura Marling is amazing. Nothing short. Three albums, a stint in Noah & the Whale and helping to launch the career of Mumford & Sons. Ryan Adams scrapped an entire record when he heard what Marling was doing. He knew the bar had been reset.
All this before she turned 21.
One day, not long ago, Laura Marling was driving through America on a European cell phone. So, while the reception would have already been sketchy, the whole deal was only amplified even more by the poor reception. We try to keep these interviews as unedited as possible, but this one had to be chopped. Still, what’s left is charming, interesting, and informative. And she does a good job, too. (bada-bing!)
I had a busy weekend with plenty of live music involved. Abigail Washburn, as always, put on a spellbinding show. Maiden Radio, who opened, should be on your list of required folk. The Civil Wars, the night before, proved once again why they are one of the purest and exciting songwriting duo in the game.
Speaking of folk, Laura Marling is on this week’s show. She’s amazed beyond belief as to what she’s written – three gut-wrenching albums – all before 21. Dig in.

The Velvet Underground aren’t very happy with their banana being thrown around, nearly every great indie band reunites – as long as every great indie band consists of At the Drive-In, Refused, and fIREHOSE, and we all debate why Jay-Z rented out an entire floor of a hospital for Beyonce to have their baby in.

Need a for more tunes to fill out your week, but just can’t decide what to download? And whats that you say? You need words to accompany your listening. Well, ok then. Head over to NYLON Guys where we’ve got the four biggest tunes of the week and tiny reviews to accompany. And there’s a pretty nifty new video from Iron & Wine, too. Sound and Vision. The future is incredible.
Our first Feed of the year comes with plenty of discovery and one massive interview. I have a feeling the next few weeks/months will be filled with marquee artists, so it’s good that we get a second to find some new bands – or at least new to us – to sink out teeth into.
And then there’s the Chris Cornell interview. You may have checked out the previous post with the entire chat posted in it’s half hour entirety. A much shorter version awaits you inside, but also features a couple tracks from his newest disc, Songbook.
I was in 8th grade when I first heard Soundgarden. Rural Kentucky with radio catering only to pop and country, I was living off of MC Hammer and Garth Brooks when one of my best friends, sitting behind me on the bus back home, snuck some headphones over my ears with the two tiny speakers blaring the glorious rhythmic sounds of Spoonman.
And my life changed forever.
Chris Cornell, front man for Soundgarden, Audioslave, Temple of the Dog, and a healthy solo career, has spent the last year on a solo acoustic tour which has led to Songbook, his latest release that has cataloged some of the brightest spots of the tour. Backstage at the Brown Theatre in Louisville, we sat down for a near half hour to run through his legendary career, as well as his thoughts on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, how he keeps that massive voice in shape, his very first solo shows, the future of Soundgarden, and lots-lots more.

The first round of 2012 arrives in a curious theme: resolutions. It seems all of the artists are making them, even without realizing. Ben Gibbard wants to outrun Flea. Ludacris wants to open a chick and beer restaurant. Billy Corgan wants to open a tea shop. And Sinead O’Connor just wants to figure out how to stay married for more than three weeks.
