Cat Power/Karen Elson



End of this month it will be released; Monsieur Gainsbourg Revisited, a mostly English-language tribute to Serge, with contributions by Franz Ferdinand (en duo with Jane Birkin!), Michael Stipe, the unlikely team-up of Marianne Faithfull and riddem-tandem Sly & Robbie, and The Kills. Ofcourse, I've ordered it already. Thanks to Florian, here's a preview, Cat Power and Karen Elson (pictured) en duo.

(due to popularity of this post, I've changed the publ.date so it moved back up on the front page)

  3. Just listened to it - one of the best versions of heard of Je t'aime!!
    Chan Marshall (Cat Power)just cracked up agin apparently and cancelled her current tour....
    Too bad becaus e her latest, the Greatest, is really quite nice.
    It would be interesting to hear her cover French material - haha, maybe Juilet Greco...

    Hope you don't mind - I referenced your site and this track and gave you kudos on my latest entry.
    Thank you so much for your wonderful work!!!

  5. I feel like the concept of this version is: "We are so distracted by all the sex-having that we're a little out of tune." Thanks for posting it, though.

  6. And still no "je vais et je viens entre tes reins" (I come and I go, between you kidneys)!

  10. I'm so glad I stumbled across this. Wow.
    When I heard that Karen was singing with NYC-based performance troupe Citizen's Band, I think I rolled my eyes and thought, "Oh great, another model-singer-actress. Yawn!" But then I heard her version of "Candy Says" and it was stunning. Better even (dare I say it?) than Antony Hegarty's version. Now I keep a close eye for anything else she's involved in!
