After watching The Fabulous Stains for, like, the thousandth time, dyeing each other's hair, smoking toothpick-shaped cigarettes Chan stole from her mom, and drinking the peach schnapps Chrissie bought with her fake ID, Chan Marshall, Chrissie Hynde, and Juliette Lewis decided they were going to be best friends forever. Or at least for the summer. They called their respective record labels and ...

So, while I was driving South, Cat Power *finally* put out the EP I've been waiting for for months (I blogged it's impending release at the old site, I believe)!!! Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed in this 6-song effort…probably more than anything simply because I had built the title track, the cover of Aretha Franklin's [...]

I'm bringing the event menu back to the top because there's so many things happening this weekend. I gotta keep folks in the know, ya dig? Tonight, this Bassnectar thing at La Zona sounds like it's gonna be pretty sweet. They'll be fusing elements of breakbeat, old school hip-hop and dub, utilizing samples from diverse sources, bringing three projection screens, doing special lighting with da...

Who: Dinosaur Jr.Title: FarmRelease Date: June 23rdLabel: JagjaguwarThoughts: Since the turn of the century a lot of bands have been making comebacks, some welcomed, some not so much. Dinosaur Jr. are obviously one of the more welcome returns, especially when you consider how many bands have been aping their style for years already. In 2007 when the band released Beyond they proved that they we...

Dear Sir (1995) & Myra Lee (1996) It's amazing to think that an artist who was making this kind of tuneless stripped-down post-hardcore music, fifteen years ago, would end up on Jools Holland. It also sounds a little implausible that Chan Marshall was spotted by Tim Foljahn and Steve Shelley (of Sonic Youth) having been coerced by friends to play her first ever solo-set, when she "couldn't pla...

Cat Power played the second of her two nearly-sold out gigs at Harlem's historic Apollo Theater on Saturday night. For almost two hours, vocalist Chan Marshall and the Dirty Delta Blues Band wove in and out of a cover-laden set and lulled the respectful crowd into a dream-like state. While she played mostly other people's music with a few originals sprinkled in, she put her own spin on each sel...

2008 Matador Records Buy (Amazon.com) 6/10 The fact that Cat Power has released another collection of covers should come as no surprise to anybody. Smoky, downbeat updates of classics and obscurities renditioned in a smoky sigh full of ache; for better or for worse, Chan Marshall has found a formula, and stuck with it. And people are still listening. That's because, the formula, it wor...

On the surface Dark End Of The Street is nicely put together but almost all these covers lack the passion of 2000's Covers Album .

We have a new tradition here at our house on Sunday night, Michelle invites her friend Wendy over, we cook dinner and watch True Blood. It's kind of funny when True Blood first started I was the only one who was into the show. After I kept on raving about it, one day while I was at work, Michelle and Wendy got hooked watching True Blood ondemand. So now we watch it, kind of like a viewing party...

Our friends at to die by your side have posted yet another rare cover on their stellar music blog. This time Chan Marshall is doing a low key rendition of The White Stripes' Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground. There's something about Marshall's low and sultry vocal delivery that sends shivers of excitement down my spine.

MOGstars 7/10Cover 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 dow.
