Cat Power / Ye Auld Triangle

i don't mind her being happy, i think that's great for her. i just don't see why she needs to make commercials. i'm willing to pay for her music so that she can have the money to keep making great music. but i don't like her endorsing crappy materials or cars or whatever else. you're just no supposed to do that!




same with the white stripes, they did a coca cola commercial ... or at least jack white did... anyway it sucks when they do that.

that stuff must be impossible to turn down, free money in the several thousands to the 10s of thousands just for using a small clip of yr song. YOU try turning that down.

thats pretty fucked up that you would say that...those guys are just like you and me and they need to make money. chan marshall even said "try being in my shoes and being able to put a down payment on my mother's house"...that's real shit...what you're saying is bull shit. and also who are you to dictate how they live their lives...is chan and jack telling you how to live yours?

her voice is beautiful but i really wish she wouldn't sell clothes or cars or anything.

Why do you care?

cause i lose respect for her. some believe you lose all right to call yourself an artist once you start that kinda stuff. selling pepsi and government approved rock n roll. maybe she's got reasons though. i still love her.

Art is, by it's very nature, prostitution anyway. Baring your innermost thoughts and emotions so that people can buy into them and act like a voyeur. We allow that without calling them a sell-out because we like to be the voyeur and we wouldn't have their music if they never sold it, but the moment they change we turn on them. That's what it's about.

Chan was a very unhappy woman with lots of troubles. Now she's happy. Why begrudge her that? Shouldn't affect our enjoyment of the music.

great pictures, great song
