Hate the new Cat Power? Toad hates Les Savy Fav but likes Hold Steady? I simply don't understand. Speaking of the latter, on a side note, the Dodos did a really nice opening set for Les Savy Fav here last month. But you dislike Les Savy Fav? Good god. Where to start? Hate the new Cat Power?

O, go on then: I have not heard a more self-regarding, luxury villa arse-dwelling, tuneless amount of tripe in such a long while. AND I LOVE TO HEAR COVERS DONE DIFFERENTLY. This is down there with gallery cafe open mic nights & busking to buy some rizla. I loved <i>The Greatest</i>, esp. as it proved she does have a remarkable voice under all that self-loathing. But this new bollocks, <i>well</i>... O don’t start me on the new Cat Power album.

(Snigger, sorry about that.) I am getting the album in the next day or so. But sometimes you just don't like stuff it's hardly a surprise, given the amount of music on this site. Just wait until you hear the bashing I give Cat Power! What, your jokes?

It'll probably make more sense when in the environment of a full album.
