i like this album too. but i'm like in love with Neko Case. i would [censored] her voice if that were possible.

Good analysis. From what I have heard so far, Neko is the "hot, dirty [censored] type" and Jenny is the "fall in love with her and get your heart broken while watching her detox/relapse and leave you for the umpteenth time" type.

Neko

Jenny

I really like her voice. (I'd [censored] her voice too, if I could) I don't like many women's voices either. I think you rate the album a little too high though. I'd give it a 7.

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?

[/ QUOTE ] I only know The Greatest, as well...but I'm looking to give her others a chance now...

[/ QUOTE ]

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

wikipedia entry sums it up well:
[ QUOTE ]
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.

[/ QUOTE ]

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.

Just listened to this album earlier today, pretty thoroughly agree with your review. Slightly disappointed that I get no props for telling you to listen to her solo stuff though. I even sent you Blacklisted, dude. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

A week after buying this CD I can't stop listening to it. Her singing is remarkable. One of the few times I've thought of someone's singing as the use of an interpretive instrument in popular music.

I have only a vague idea of what this means. Could you provide a definition or example?

Also, any specific song? I'd like to hear it again. I love her voice.
