Cat Power Speaks Out Regarding Canceled Gigs

Chan Marshall shares the following in today's MySpace bulletin: *yeah, phoenix ear nose and throat doctor said i should take a week off of singing, if i want to continue touring for the rest of this year, also, if i don't want to risk ruining my vocal chords permanently, as i have a callous on the right side of my vocal chords, and a hint of a new one on the left. to say yesterday was a very depressing and upsetting day for me and my band is to say the very least. i sincerely apologize for any inconvenience that this has imposed on anybody. all i can do is apologize. i would not wish the way that i felt yesterday on anybody... with love, frustration, feeling misunderstood, yours, chan*

Cat Power Plus Karl Lagerfeld Equals

Does anybody remember back in October when we informed you of Karl Lagerfeld's intense desire to have Cat Power model something from his new line for Chanel? Well, it seems like Cat Power obliged and here's the result:

The image appears in the latest issue of Purple Fashion mag and is available now, should you want to scoop up a copy. She looks utterly stunning, I must say. Do you agree?

Cat Power Goes Postal!

No, she's not teaming up with The Postal Service, as much as we'd die to hear that collabo. No, instead she has teamed up with the MoMa for an exhibit involving massive film screens and 'urban life'. Read the full story below, via Pierceland Herald:

A new exhibit was unveiled Tuesday at the Museum of Modern Art — or rather on the Museum of Modern Art. Aitken created a series of five films centering around life in an urban environment.

The films, each about 15 to 20 minutes long, are played on seven of the large walls that make up MoMA‘s midtown Manhattan building. They focus on a businessman, played by Donald Sutherland , an office worker, played by Tilda Swinton , and a bike messenger, depicted by drummer Ryan Donowho. Brazilian musician and actor Seu Jorge plays an electrician who makes the advertising signs at Times Square glow, and Chan Marshall, who records music under the name Cat Power, stars as a postal worker.

"It‘s fun, fascinating and best of all free of charge," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said of the installation. The sculpture garden, normally closed this time of year, will remain open for the project, which is called "Sleepwalkers," museum officials said. "A project like this creates a very different dialogue with the public, who we hope will be inspired to think about art in relation to the city itself and to the larger urban experience," Lowry said.

Has anybody seen this yet? Is it impressive?

Cat Power & Chanel, Seriously?

Go Chan!

ContactMusic reports:

Fashion boss KARL LAGERFELD was so enamoured when he spotted singer CAT POWER having a smoke in New York, he has been trying to persuade her to be the new face of Chanel. Power - real name CHAN MARSHALL - was lurking outside the Mercer Hotel with a cigarette and her luggage when the designer saw her. Marshall says, "I was sitting on a pile of Louis Vuitton luggage, drinking water, with an apple and a cigarette in my hand, my cell phone, oh, and two guitars and out comes Karl.

"He walks up, looks at me and says, 'Only a woman can look glamorous when smoking.' And I lowered my glasses and pointed to (the bags under my) eyes and said, 'With these'?

The Covers Record: Classic Album #2

Oh, Cat Power. She gets a lot of shit, doesn't she? The bottom line is that she has a gorgeous unique voice and writes some of the most beautifully melancholic songs of the past few years. Ok, so, she isn't the best live artist. Please forgive her and move on. She is fantastic enough on record!

My personal favorite album would have to be The Covers Record. The Greatest is quite the triumph but it's her collection of covers that grabs you and steals you away from whatever else you had planned on doing. It demands your patience and in turn gains your admiration. Here's the opening track, you may have heard of it before, it's by some band called The Rolling Stones.

Cat Power

You know, I've never really heard anything of Cat Power's (aka Chan Marshall), but I've just heard this advance track from her new record The Greatest, due on 23rd Jan. here in the UK and the day after in the States. And I really like it; kinda frail, but with a full rhythm. Lovely.

Cat Power: Love and Communication

The Greatest sounds great; pity the album cover is a steaming pile of poo...
