Moon Pix by Cat Power

Pros: Some very good songs...
Cons: Some very monotonous and for that matter even bad songs...

Singer-songwriters are a dime a dozen. Strangely enough, truly outstanding solo artists are the rarest musical breed of all. There are a few that stand out today including Rufus Wainwright, Grant-Lee Phillips, and despite all of her faults Tori Amos. ...

Pros: beautiful, sad, unique, even haunting at times.
Cons: not for all moods by any means.

Chan Marshall, aka Cat Power, has been an enigma ever since she made her way into the scene a few years back. Her concerts are known for either her astounding, spellbinding performances or her complete meltdowns on stage - and for awhile there it was a...

Pros: A book of repents and self-medicated laments.
Cons: "Can't you see that we're going to Hell"

There is not a mix tape I have made in the last few years that did not include at least one track from this album.
I have been a fan of Cat Power since I heard their first album. Chan's voice is unmatched and she has never let me down...

Pros: stunning, beautiful, and enigmatic.
Cons: none
