Some great new releases this week for sure! Cat Power is back with her second record of cover songs (and one new Chan track!). Her cover of "Silver Stallion" makes the hair on my arm stand on end. Black Mountain releases Into The Future today. It's a great record and I can't wait to see […]

Cat Power's "Jukebox" Details
Pitchfork has been revealing all the details of Cat Power's upcoming covers album as they've been getting them and from the looks of things, I may already have my favorite record for 2008. Earlier this week they gave us the tentative track list and cover image: 01 Teme From 'New York, New York' (Kander/Ebb; popularized by […]
Cat Power announces fall tour dates
The elusive Chan Marshall, aka Cat Power, is heading out on the road this fall, in advance of any new release (according to her MySpace page, her latest {though perhaps not The Greatest, bwah hah} is due out in early 2008). In the meantime, assuming she shows up and doesn't wither with stage fright, here […]
New releases for the week, from Easy Street Records
I started ranting about Versatile Heart from Linda Thompson here on TIG a couple of weeks ago. This is truly a gorgeous record that was co-produced by and features her son, Teddy Thompson. It also features a track written for her by Rufus Wainwright. This release coupled with Peggi Young's (Neil's wife) latest has been […]
Cat Power announces date for her next covers album. It's still really, really far off.
Jesse from Easy Street just sent me a juicy nugget of info from Cat Power, which was posted to the elusive Chan's MySpace page. It appears she's got another record in the works! It's not coming for awhile, it's going to be another album of covers, and… well, I'll let her share the info in […]
Joanna Newsom doesn't win Shortlist Prize!
Not too long ago, it was noted that the nominees for the "Shortlist Award for Achievement in the Field of Excellence" (tip o' the hat to Erik G. for the clever name and original post) were announced, and they were: Band of Horses, Beirut, Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Cat Power, Girl Talk, Hot Chip, Joanna Newsom, […]
Shortlist Award for Achievement in the Field of Excellence
Although I don't fully understand the "Shortlist" awards, they have announced their, ahem, shortlist for the 2006 award. The Shortlist award is "a peer-selected award that recognizes the most creative and adventurous albums of the year" (um okay) and made their 10 album nomination list. The winner will be announced "in May". I get the […]
As Seen On TV: Iggy Pop, Amy Winehouse, The Fratellis, Arctic Monkeys, Jarvis and more!
Time for the weekly "As Seen On TV" post! Wasn't Luke Wilson funny last week on Conan last Monday? Especially the part about how he hangs out in Owen's house when Owen is out of town? Good stuff. I missed Morrissey on Friday night when we was on Kimmel. Did anyone see that? Here's a […]
Sasquatch 2004 Preview
Show Date: May 16, 2004
How does one write the beginning of a preview of this year's Sasquatch! Music Festival? There has to be a better way then just saying, "Grab you cameras, 'cause here comes a Sasquatch!" or "Is this a Sonics game? I thought I saw a gymnast in a furry suit running around somewhere," or "Got Sasquatch?" […]
