Cat Power: KCRW Session On Morning Becomes Eclectic, February 27, 2003.

One of my favorite Cat Power sets. And anyone who has seen or read about her famous live shows should know that this is a rare occurence (extra-read all about it). Maybe it's having a live audience that creeps Chan out or she's just weird that way. Any thoughts friends? Anyways, this is a great sounding acoustic set in her usual minimalist style. Cat Power is arguably one of the most important and most tortured singer-songwriters today, and the quiet anguish that she renders through her music is evident on these songs. But as a bonus, you have to listen to her interview with Nic Harcourt where she renders one of my favorite Cat Power quotes of all time when relating a story about her first guitar:
"Last winter in Paris, I saw my boyfriend with another girl, so it was either me or the guitar, so I broke it."

Nice.
