In order to promote the dangers of global warming Feist, Jarvis Cocker, Martha Wainwright, Ryuichi Sakamoto, KT Tunstall, Laurie Anderson, and Vanessa Carlton are on their way to the Arctic. Presumably to escape the ubiquity of Feists' music...

Despite sounding like the premise for the World's worst film (I'm thinking a shit version of Pauly Shore's "Bio-Dome") the aforementioned musicians are in fact making their way to Greenland to battle climate change.
The project goes by the name of "Cape Farewell" and was conceived by artist David Buckland. Their website states:

"Cape Farewell has brought together our leading artists, writers, scientists, educators and media for a series of expeditions into the wild and challenging High Arctic. Together they have mapped, measured and been inspired by this awesome environment and have endeavoured to bring home stories and artworks that tell how a warming planet is impacting on this wilderness."

I can only hope that all those involved gather at night for rousing renditions of the following song. I'm not even close to joking.

Dear Ash,
I have a friend who has really good taste in music, but she just doesn't get "1000 miles"
How can I convince her that the song is a crazy anomaly which everyone who rocks good taste is into it?
Should I do an electroclash/indie rock bedroom remix/cover of the song to make it more accessible to snobby tastes?
See ya later Ash, I have to go. And make my way downtown, walking fast and I'm homebound. Just making my way, making my way through the crowd. And I need you, and I miss you.
