cat power 11.23.98
back in 96 i met a girl. we were merely kids in our early 20’s, lovin life and each other. we were livin life paycheck to paycheck, bar to bar, zip code to zip code, taco stand to taco stand, but none of that mattered cause we had each other, for the time being. we waxed drunkly for hours on end about our favorite records, and she would play me the most beautiful songs you would ever want to hear. we started and ended each other sentences, smoked the same cigarettes, we walked down milwaukee avenue holding hands and dreamed of getting out, and on a whim flew down to florida to swim with the manatees. she looked glorious standing there in the florida sun as the rays beat down and browned her skin every so slightly. she said the most incredible stuff and even when i wanted to call bullshit, i didnt. she was the sweetest bird i ever had to let go.
well, shit, that never really happened. here is a live radio show from munich from my main girl, chan marshall, recorded all the way back in 1998. she sounds so lovely, like a delicate bird waking me in the morning.
3. werewolf
4. say
5. metal heart
7. dreams – fleetwood mac cover
9. let sadness not be attached to your name – i think a velvet underground cover
11. indirect sun
two cat power records to grow on
imo, this version of i found a reason is one of the most gorgeous things mine ears have ever witnessed.

I throw this out for Sine.qua.non. A blogger posted an entire in-studio radio performance by Chan Marshall. It’s fucking amazing. I thank the blogger for posting this, but his crush is wasted. Chan has a breakdown and cries during the first track. I sense the song is autobiographical.

this one rocks
The first song – He was a friend of Mine – isn’t it a Bob Dylan cover ? I’m pretty sure it is …

This one makes sence “One’s first step in wisdom is to kuesstion everything – and one’s last is to come to terms with everything.”
Thank you so much. I really appreciate you posting these songs.
