Xander ,'Sleeper'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
My iPod is bound and determined to have my accent be strong at work it seems..
Yesterday the last two songs as I got to the office: Johnny Cash - Ring of Fire and then Old 97s - Doreen.
Today the last three: Be Good Tanyas - Littlest Birds, Shelby Lynne - Seeker, Dixie Chicks - Wide Open Spaces.
I swear, if it spits out Loretta lynn for me tomorrow the people in the office are going to be scared.
Cat Power.
Where to start?
You Are Free is amazing. What Would the Community Think is very good as well. I first got into Cat Power via The Covers Record, which is what its title says. Good (and unconventional) covers - standouts for me include "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" and the Velvet Underground song "I Found a Reason."
Where to start?
Frankly, her sound has changed so much over the years that it's difficult to say. What Would the Community Think sounds like a completely different artist from The Greatest. I prefer the former, but the latter sold a lot more records. I'd start with those two and go outward from there, depending on which of those you like more.
I only have Moon Pix, You Are Free, and The Greatest, and they all have their strengths.
Thanks. I think I'll start with Moon Pix.
That one may be my favorite of the three. She's backed by 2/3 of The Dirty Three, who propel her songs along nicely.
I'm currently bopping my head to the Monkees' "Going Down."
Just an FYI.
Ooh, great song. Mickey Dolenz is fabulous.
That song's a particular favorite of mine, too.
