Feist’s The Reminder has won the Shortlist Music Prize, the award given to the “best” U.S-released album that sold less than 500,000 copies from last year. Note that the award’s powers that be announced the final 10 nominees on Oscar-nomination day and then announced the winner on a day where most of the country was probably occupying its news-gathering time with other matters. Perhaps I need to up my dose of morning optimism, but I have a strange feeling that this is going to be the last time this particular prize is bestowed on any NPR-beloved artist. [Brooklyn Vegan]
