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.

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...

Thefirst time I heard Chan Marshall sing a song by someone elsewasn’t on last January’s Jukebox, and it wasn’ton The Covers Record from 2000. It was her rendition of BobDylan’s arrangement of the traditional song ‘Moonshiner’on her incredible album Moonpix (which remains my favourite tothis day…) when she sang: “Igo to some hollow,And sit at my stillAnd if whiskey don’tkill me,T

Although the original was written by Sandy Denny, my all time favorite version is a live rendition by Nina Simone. Cat Power takes her turn on Who Knows Where the Time Goes, for her Dark End of the Street EP, in this very minimalistic version. It would fit perfectly on her first Covers Record. I like the organ in the background. Chan's piano keys echo the chords to The Greatest. I love this son...

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 [...]

To those of us who cringe at the prospect of yet another classic song being horribly regurgitated by a modern artist, a whole EP of covers doesn't exactly send us running for the nearest HMV. However, Cat Power's latest attempt is a carefully selected, well thought out selection of songs, given a fresh shake up by her breathy and husky vocal talent. She cleverly reworks songs in a variety of...
