Feist is set to guest-star on the 39th season premiere of Sesame Street on August 11th, where she’ll sing a re-worked version of her hit song/iPod jingle “1234.” Along with Pancake Mountain and
Yo Gabba Gabba!, it seems like kiddos have more TV options for getting an indie fix than adults! Anyhoo, check out the clip and song below!

Remember back in the day when it used to take something depressing like famine to bring all-star musicians together for a single? This summer, Converse has brought together some major musicians to help celebrate the 100th birthday of the Chuck Taylor! The first track to pop out of the Converse Music Collaboration campaign was the recently released “My Drive Thru” featuring Pharrell Williams, Santogold, and Julian Casablancas. Now the uptempo song has been given a Xeroxed paper cut-out motif in a video treatment courtesy of Pharrell. More rumored music collabos from other artists (such as rumored Bradford Cox of Deerhunter, YACHT, Kid Sister, MGMT, Does it Offend You, Yeah?, and Fiery Furnaces) are expected to drop sometime in the near future as part of Converse’s ongoing campaign.
