I <3 Feist (Or: videos that cheer me up)

I know this has already been posted all the hell over the Internets, but I am officially adding Feist's Sesame Street appearance to the handful of YouTube videos that I watch to cheer me up when I'm feeling grouchy. (See also: That "Dancing" video I posted on the 4th of July, the OK Go treadmill choreography video, "Year of the Rat" by Badly Drawn Boy, and that Regina Spektor video where everything is black and white and then she and her boy start throwing powdered pigment in all the colors of the rainbow at each other.)



ETA: In the interest of a one-stop cheer-me-up reference post, I tracked down the rest of the videos, in order...

Dancing:



OK Go on treadmills:



Badly Drawn Boy:



Regina Spektor:

Regina Spektor's bizarre hair notwithstanding...

...this is one of my favorite music videos ever:



This is right up there with "Year of the Rat" by Badly Drawn Boy and that treadmill choreography video by OK Go! when it comes to videos that make me smile when I'm in a bad mood. Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] cheesegimp for reminding me of its existence.

In other news, today I impulse-bought the hottest cool-weather coat ever. I can count on one hand the number of times I've ever purchased something on impulse for more than about $20, but I've still got a little money left over from my Christmas bonus and it was half off, so I don't feel so bad. I guess even amicable breakups require a little retail therapy.

Posting it to el jay so I can replay it whenever I need some cheering up.
