Cat Power interview on Much Music

[Xiansiempre]

she talks the same now as she did then, like constantly stopping, searching for words, hesitation, "uh,um" etc. not being mean i actually think it's cute

[Jauwp]

1:55 aww yeah Moby Grape cover. Respect.

[demolitionlovers37]

"my possessions and shit-sit around"

[thestralpotter]

What's the song aroung 5:52?

[intimateinmate]

@thestralpotter Say from Moon Pix

[demolitionlovers37]

@thestralpotter it's called Say. it's the original version. quite rare, hard to find it unfortunately but you can look up the normal one. It just doesn't have that wave the bass does in the background

[willlliw]

@thestralpotter say off moon pix

[Thrillseeker8922]

Chan Marshall is the epitome of perfection.

[Mlawll]

Omg man, she's perfect, love her!!!

[TykoEaston]

And on a gentle day, yknow, you'll look around, yknow, at your possessions and it's like 'oh, my possessions'

LMAO. i love her so much.

[pablocatwalk]

everything about her is cool..... LOVE HER!

[blanktanksank]

is she playing fleetwood mac's "dreams" at 4:48? does anybody know where that version could be found?

[hjk1986]

Yeah, it's a cover of Fleetwood Mac. There is a live version of it floating around somewhere.

[jacket23]

there are a couple of live versions. one with and without a band. and also another one that isn't the fleetwood mac song called dreams. so you have to look around. or just download them all!

[bobbelibob]

It's really weird how she's changed. Back then she was cute but constantly intoxicated. Now she just beautifuld.

[TykoEaston]

Her voice, too - there was an indie squall to it, now she's an improvisational soul singer

[bobbelibob]

It's really wierd how her looks has changed. Back then she was cute. Now she's beautiful.

[mediocrityrulz13]

coked-out power!!!

she's hilarious! you have to have to love her.

[hela99]

she seems like a female version of kurt cobain here...especially knowing of the hard times she was going to go through later in her life. i'm glad she seems to have recovered. i love her new stuff so much.

[cynicismeltdown]

Yah, I was gonna say... female Kurt Cobain. I'm so glad she didn't go the way of Kurt. The world would have lost one the most precious gifts it's ever had. LOVE Chan SO MUCH!!! What a totally down to earth, cool, humble, honest, and beautiful person.

[pordefecto]

i specially love her on this interview

[catalinaguerrero]

I have a crush on Chan.

[brewt]

Does anyone know what song she's playing at around the two minute mark?

[hjk1986]

The song is Naked If I Want To, it's on the Covers Record and Jukebox

[letigre937]

yay!

[Talymaya]

She seems more coherent in this interview than she does in recent ones. I wish she'd play some more solo shows. I love the sparse guitar.

[sabrinaosman]

wow is she....? never mind i think she is

[xsarahberries]

is this prior to the drugs?

I've seen recent interviews and she's so awkward, but this interview she's incredibly cute. Love the hair. Damn Cher hair is bad bad bad!

[chancesare]

Sorry, I already have dibs on marrying her. Get your own Chan.

[meason855]

i will punch you in your kidney. ive had her since 95'.

so BACK OFF!

[ebertmatt]

she peed next to me once....i saw her undies....so bleh

[meason855]

(freak)

[ebertmatt]

well its a true story...

[meason855]

um,YA--i dont think chan is even capable of peeing. what are you gonna tell me next, she shits?..pleez, youre just some snappy little fan. Unless you own the year 1995, you have your measly 2nd dibs to hold and cherish biotch.

[meason855]

i love her, she seems so fragile.

[ufis567]

I really think I'm in love with her. Sad, I know

[burnedoutstillglowin]

glurp..help..drowning. in.. chaotic stream of consciousness. drugs make life harder on yourself

[zaziebelle]

lol

[hexobject]

oh back when MuchMusic was cool...

[philipsmog]

I know what you mean jimmy

[chancesare]

Chan I want to marry you.

[ufis567]

I want to marry her too.

[jimmyvicious]

R.I.P. Muchmusic...

[mrtee9]

I did see it (that's what I was talking about) and I don't agree with you about the interview. That's great you love her, I agree about that, but I think you gotta take her for what she is. And personally, I liked it, thought she was real.

[mrtee9]

It's not rap. ? I'm confused.

[kangayo]

how the hell is it rap, its good and credible

[mrtee9]

Man, you're an idiot. "dumb and southern and rap-influenced." So what if she is southern that's who she is and she couldn't be anything else. That has nothing to do with being dumb, which she isn't. And "rap influenced"- all greats are open to being influenced by all genres of music. She is great and beatiful in what she is and that includes what she "sounds like" in interviews. It thought that interview was very heartfelt.

[skatesurfslide]

FTR, I saw her in 1998. I dig the shit out of her. I'm talking about the interview she did with the NYT, like I said, and she sounded like a completely different person in that, and if you saw it you'd agree. I'm from the South and I don't talk I'm on meds, BTW. Calm down and listen to some CP.

[gerritbot]

Love...

[jennystarseed]

i have this interview on tape too. thought the sound is pretty bad. i used to watch this interview everyday for 3 months. kinda silly i know.

[skatesurfslide]

Saw her on the New York Times and she sounded kinda dumb and southern and rap-influenced, but she's awesome--the record this is right the recording of is You Are Free though--"Dirty Three" reference--saw her in '97 and she was awesome and beautiful

[TeenageWildlife]

rap-influenced because she happened to like people like Kanye West and Mary J Blige? she's always had an affinity for "black" music, whether it be blues, old-school soul or some of the better rap/R&B of today... there's no prob with that at all.

[friskyfixedit]

amen

[carolvazcf]

she's sooo cute. linda!

[alexbergauer]

Sweet sexy goofball

[alphaxys]

haha, she was so cute.

[mariopubli]

Linda.

[rowlodge]

i like those simple licks on the guitar that go to the end. funny,does she remind anyone of curt cobain?

[jun7per]

not the hair thing again....

[comrades8]

of course all the greats are weird.

[crubantoast]

She's changed so much since then. She's still pretty wierd... just sober wierd.

[atsbvtw]

thank you so much.

[danielkills]

back when she was drunk and mad...

she plays the most amazing live shows: id give it all away to find a soul like that.

[sucktastic]

she's so damn awesome and real. love!

[MFRedeemerp2]

lol shes awesome

[brandpiano]

nutty broad!!

[jacket23]

she'd be like 26 or something, she's so cute

[rgautam]

how old is chan here?

[moccidoll]

Oh so I see you did some homework, good for you mr defensive. lol

[redplague]

You are arrogant.

[elchamber]

I always though Cat was some one who'd look older than that. Anyways, sinces I can't find anyway to download her videos, youtube RULES!!! You know they do.

[moccidoll]

this interview was almost 10 years ago so "Cat" does look older now, obviously. By the way, her name isnt Cat,,do you know what youre talking about at all.(not a rhetorical question).

[elchamber]

Fine miss serious. Instead of just saying Cat, Charlyn "Chan" Marie Marshall. I though she was older, because her voice seemed older that what she looks like when I first heard her voice, not what she looks like. Do you ever take out that stick out your butt.

[tinybirds]

thanks for upping this.
