Cat Power: Review of Some Key Points

Cat Power/Chan Marshall:

is releasing her new album on October 5th, the same day that she is playing Boston
is probably a pretty complicated person of the kind that Hilton Als and I both tend to adore, perhaps sometimes in an exasperated sort of way
might turn her back to the audience when playing sometimes but also knows that sort of thing is absurd
and through it all represents some kind of navigation marker for my inner life
because she is a genius who writes songs that get under my skin
