This song has been rattling around inside my head all day...worse yet, I have caught myself singing it TOO many times today in a really bad Bob Dylan voice. In attempt to exercise it from my head, I now share it with the world...be gone evil great song, be gone!!... MORE

Cat Power is important. To me. I've seen her perform many times. Going back to 1998 at least. At the Velvet Elvis in Seattle. But why she's important. To me. Is harder to talk about. It used to appear that she fell apart during her performances. Some times. But I never thought of it that way. I don't think many people who really cared about it thought that way about it. She was just being alive. It happened to be on a stage. And she sang songs that said to me t... MORE

I taped infamous MOG outsider The Girlfriend as she discussed the best and the worst (mostly the worst) albums of the past month or so. Note to my Australian Trusteds: You get it in the neck for no good reason. Sorry. Feel free to use the comments to take down the Irish.It won't be hard. Excuses made, let us begin... Magnetic Fields - Distortion Fluxy: Well? The Girlfriend: A very morbid voice. But I'm sure there's market for that among some people.... MORE

This song moves me in so many ways. the range of emotions are so varied lyrically, but it is the inflections to these words throughout the song that shows how chan marshall has a talent for expressing the most haunting and fragile intimacies of sorrow.... MORE

i must be on my 30th or more play by now. i'm loving this record. what is most disturbing is that i bought the vinyl for 34 bucks and i'm told that it was recorded in analog but matador was too cheap to give rti (the pressing plant) the analog copy OR the high resolution 96khz master. they gave the downsampled 16bit verion and rti then transfered to vinyl. i have no idea why it would cost more but anyhewwww.... recorded in analog, transfered to crappy redbook digita...

MOGstars 7/10 Cover albums are a delicate thing. They can be like Bowie's Pin-Ups and provide stimulating reworkings of well-loved tracks, or they can plumb the depths of Duran Duran's Thank You and border on Shatner-esque hilarity, or they can just sink into oblivion. Luckily, Chan Marshall has already navigated this minefield once. 2000’s imaginatively titled The Covers Album saw her knock down and rebuild everything from the Stones to Dylan in her own delicately hau...

For many who’ve seen Cat Power gigs over the years, calmness is not a word that immediately springs to mind when trying to describe Chan Marshall. Neither has she been, for large tracts of her confounding and exceptional career, much of a populist, exactly. Her distrait otherness might have been part of the appeal to some of us, but it would hardly work as a mainstream draw. Since last year’s “The Greatest”, however, Marshall seems to have become more than a hip name to ... MORE

The Hot List These are albums that either a mogger or myself or misc. critics are high on: Cat Power, Jukebox: Sometimes when you do something again, the magic of the first time is missing. Not so with Chan’s new album in which she sings other people’s songs. Totally different from The Covers Album, you’ll love it.

This is a personal catharsis (sorry to any moggers who happen to come across this post tonight). I've been struggling with something/someone that I have to let go and this song says it better than I ever could. Hoping this releases some of my struggle. B - I'll always wear your ink and you'll always be in my heart. Sorry for not believing ... Lyrics
I want to be a good woman
And I want, for you to be a good man.
This is why I will be leaving
And this is why, I can’... MORE
