Good point Georgia. Jenny L has some freaky song lyrics.
Dom, I never gave Cat Power much of a listen until The Greatest came out. I'm kinda liking it. What's her best album?

RE: Cat Power...Heheh, well the greatest is a very unique album for her...she made a real concerted effort to make a more upbeat pop record...her past stuff is really moody and messy and shambling...like Mazzy Star on heroin. Her live shows are pretty nuts...this

Chan has garnered notoriety for her live shows, which often feature a chaotic lack of polish and structure. Songs are frequently cut short for no apparent reason, or "tail off" into what sounds like an extended period of guitar tuning.

Some people consider her the world's shyest performer. Some think the mumbling and abrupt leaving is an act of deconstructionist performance art. Many think both are probable...
Anyway, Moonpix is stellar album...but don't expect the same sunny country-soul vibe of Greatest...it's very minimal and stark and bleak and synonyms.
