By JAMES COSTA Scene Writer

Leslie Feist is doing pretty well. After years of singing with Broken Social Scene and a rather successful first solo record “Let It Die,” it’s clear that life is treating her pretty kindly. With her newest album “The Reminder,” Feist has achieved com­ mercial success. Unlike on the standout track of “Let It Die,” “Mushaboom," when Feist sang, “It may be years until the day my dream s will match up with my pay,” the need for more cash is surely no longer pressing on her mind. However, to her likely dismay and the lis­ tener’s delight, her life still seems rife with the influences of heartbreak, solitude and the desire to both hold onto and let go of rapidly fading but still darkly penetrating memories.

It was just nice to see how far she’s come ... she’s doing great, and she’s the same old P- Mac.” McAdams, a longtime university computer support technician and women’s basketball enthusiast, was severely injured in a car acci­ dent near Fort Wayne, Ind., on Ian. 13.
