so i’ve just finished the third revision of my top 100 albums list — which to avoid confusion/arguments is a personal selection, not an attempt at a best of all time list — and to build some interest/excitement in the list beyond myself and the 1-2 other people that have traditionally cared about this i’ve [...]

stream:3 tracks from beck’s upcoming modern guilt, here. that song featuring cat power everyone was talking about is pretty anticlimactic in the cat power regard. great song, but it’s more like “orphans” (song that chan marshall heard while walking down a hallway adjacent to the studio beck was recording in and liked the tune, [...]
mp3: cat power- stuck inside of mobile with the memphis blues again [link expired]

two days til jukebox releases and i’ve got plently more old cat power covers on the way. this pavement cover isn’t one of my favorites, but i’m posting it because i don’t think many people have heard it before. chan played the song [...]
mp3: cat power – wonderwall [link expired]
this recording comes from a john peel session on bbc radio one back in 2000. it’s a pretty straight forward cover from chan, but i really like it. you expect her to slow it down, you expect the lone guitar, but who cares when it sounds this good.

mp3: cat power- bathysphere [link expired] ……… [buy]
mp3: smog – bathysphere [link expired] ……….[buy]
on 1996’s what would the community think a young chan marshall covered one of my favorite smog songs, wild love’s opening track “bathysphere”. as she would later do with the stones’ “satisfaction”, chan resists the chorus as hard as she can, whittling [...]
