Cat Power - What's In My Bag?

[@philnichel333]

That up there is a 20 year vet, the Queen of Indie Rock, she's been on the grind since before some of you were born. And she looks beautiful still. Respect.

[@Transformersgeek]

Screw it - she can wear her hair however the hell she wants. She can smoke as many cigs as she wants. She can crack bad jokes. I don't care. She's an amazing artist who continues to throw listeners for the best types of loops with each release.

[@OriginalPinkbird]

Cigs aren't good for singing, that's all...if they damaged her in some way in which it prevented her from performing part of her art, it could really cripple her creatively. I mean, she'd still be able to play but she seems to be the type of artist that needs to 'get it out' by using her voice as well.

[@francescobenati2045]

If smoking is bad for your singing voice really depends on what kind of music you sing. For jazz or blues it could be actually better

[@katinlove]

actually its a pretty one joke hahaha or its just me.

[@broken1394]

The jokes were great.

[@JM-oj5tx]

simp

[@mikesilva5085]

When my dad passed away in September last year I listened to John Coltranes Crescent over and over- I was just numb with grief but I tell you this beautiful music pulled me through

[@lesettedesantiago144]

Thanks for sharing

[@cornholiothefirst2018]

she is a spun out artist, if your gonna make art you have to live on the edge. I bet when she is talking, her mind is racing and she finds it hard to put all she feels and thinks into words. I love this woman

[@lucapagani3887]

Love u

[@gabbyc3444]

Truly eccentric

[@Oallright]

I love her so much. I unknowingly stood next to her backstage while Girls were performing at the Matador 21 show. She said "WHOOOOO!" in a high pitched voice after every song they performed. Anyway, I got myself kicked out by a security guard for helping myself to one the bands' many refreshments and she performed later that night. Such an angelic voice, apologizing to the crowd after nearly every lyric. Such a voice and a vision.

[@Minnliberal]

I also was at the Matador 21 festival. The best three days of music I have ever experienced.

[@pipkingdom]

Woo

[@RedSwordPompeii]

One admirable feature of Chan Marshall is she has never presented herself as any sort of ego or glamour. So pop comments about her looks or perceived eccentric behaviour are redundant. as for "what happened to her" , the answer is she made better and better music and you would be rolling shit uphill to find a more dynamic musical existence than her.

[@MsRedbelly]

+RED SWORD OF THE ILLAWARRA Yes, she keeps on doing her thing despite battling some serious physical & mental issues I admire her & love her music. I am going to se her at a small local theatre in February, so I'm interested to see how she is nowadays. It's a small tour before she records her new album.

[@MILESnomore]

she is naturally amazing and cool , she suits the blonde hair cos she is so cool.... looks tired here, but still shining good interview for ameoba, i would say

[@Gunnyfelker]

I think she looks amazing.

[@icarus212001]

The Banana record is pretty dope. I had it this morning.

[@soaribb32]

Heroin is my favorite

[@tylerpresentsmitch3483]

That Miles Davis release is underrated and amazing! One of my favourite jazz releases.

[@boywonders]

My favorite Miles for sure!

[@Cespinozas]

Pretty square though , the start of modal form , but nothing like his second and third quintet with chick corea Keith jarret and Dave Holland

[@OpaqueVisions47]

that was exciting, a whole 2 albums!

[@leemythic4400]

Such a unique person she is.

[@bethneubauer7018]

Give her a break, not sure if she's an addict that was in recovery that may've relapsed. Or is just spazzy. Either way she is a great artist and don't judge unless you are perfect. Love you,Chan.

[@inde169]

Sweetest southern voice ever, great sense of humor, charming humble style, great soul, keep up the great work...

[@thesleepinggiant6457]

I love her idiosyncrasies. I hope she's doing well. Love ya Chan.

[@CliveBarnesMusic]

When she pull out Cresent by Coltrane I fell in love with her....My favourite Trane album recorded the same time as A Love Supreme, it's so over looked and a finer album :)

[@Greyeyes23sight]

What a great selection she's something pure something driven to shine yeah

[@TurboYeti72]

I always come back to this episode of WIMB. Love you, Chan. A true original.

[@jaybone23]

She should've made a Velvet Underground joke when she pulled out the bananas.

[@deVon30241]

+jaybone23 That's what I was waiting for to be honest.

[@fredericdemazagran9227]

I think it WAS a V.U joke, that's why she said "That wasn't funny...."

[@HDKermaperuna]

i thought it was a dildo joke

[@d.leon.pedro.26]

I just thought the same thing !

[@OpaqueVisions47]

jaybone23 that's what I thought too

[@kevingarry11]

I love her she is beautiful and has a amazing voice

[@AnthonyMonaghan]

The bananas were the best thing I've seen on What's In My Bag...what a great lady. Impeccable taste. "Lonnie's Lament", one of John Coltrane's finest. Two records, both brilliant....she's one of a kind.

[@Guitfiddlejase]

This is genius... Why aren't more people like her?

[@Drjackdempsey9644]

Because most people are afraid to be themselves

[@kaivrock]

Because they know better.

[@a.s.6272]

I feel you, Chan - everything I come to love they stop making! Gotta get it in triplicate just to be safe. 🖤

[@michaeleli6767]

Bless her great taste and great heart

[@ashredgrave5357]

shes my favourite person ever

[@amixofeverything]

Her taste in music is real good. Classy.

[@AChi__]

Chan is has such an awesome spirit about her. Love this woman and her immeasurable talents. More power (pun intended lol) to you Chan

[@VTECheart]

She's such a sweet girl. She'll never be old in my eyes.

[@NoCoverCharge]

Opened up for Hera few times back in the day in Atlanta ...great artist

[@Drjackdempsey9644]

Huge fan of CP and never knew until today that she did a What’s in my bag? Her choosing Crescent doesn’t surprise me at all, because she’s a true artist. That’s not a term we can use lightly these days. She should be 10 times bigger than Adele but the masses like safe music I suppose.

[@beksinski]

crushing since forever.

[@kiaibi]

Chan Marshall pulls out Trane.... I didn't know I could love her any more... !!!

[@renatoaraujinho]

Yes, Coltrane was a gentleman...and Chan Marshall a Lady... And such great artist she is! She is from my generation and we are good cats. Hey, that shirt is Icy, man! Like Jim Morrison once said: "pretty neat, pretty neat; pretty good, pretty good; alright"

[@mozartfx1]

Hey, she's smoking a cigarette...INSIDE! I'm in love!

[@revolutionday1]

+Mozart FX Yeah, that's disgusting.

[@MathieuLLF]

I love Cat Power so much. Seriously people stop commenting on her mental health, that's her personal business.

[@bornloser2020]

She's so pretty and ageless!

[@spensert4933]

Nice to see Coltrane on so many rawk and indie list.

[@Pirate7X]

Great selections; was unaware of that John Coltrane song, thanks. The soundtrack & film "Elevator to the Gallows" music by Miles Davis is excellent for any interested. My crush on Chan has deepened...

[@blondthought5175]

Yeah, "Elevator to the Gallows" with Jeanne Moreau. You might want to check that out.

[@strangemarkings]

RIP Ahmad Jamal, the beautiful piano you hear on Crescent

[@caprona92]

i understand her so much. we have the same psychological issues for sure. its not the drugs.

[@buckshot_honeymoon]

me too, it isnt drugs it's from traumatic childhoods with erratic, emotionally immature parents.

[@neonatalpenguin]

I wanna give her a hug.

[@kingoflimbs1]

I dunno, she's as pretty as ever, in my opinion.

[@jackmeriwether4189]

one of the greatest videos ever

[@FightingforWords]

her moment with lucia at the end was so heart breaking! it is hard to ease back into everything when your life changes dramatically like that.

[@jackbudgen8858]

I love Cat Power.

[@cheekadders3389]

That 'the Goat and the Occasional Others' shirt. Fucking nice.

[@FredZepplin]

+Bender Rodrigues came down just to find a comment like this

[@bubsadoozy]

My bad thanks for clearing it up for him. Easily my favourite album by her. Rockets is a great track.

[@dpriola]

She loves Elevator to the Gallows by Miles Davis. She will always be beautiful for that.

[@leemythic4400]

What a character, she's great.

[@rb919]

I love the way her mind works..

[@brownyuio]

Couldn't have picked better albums than those

[@GuusOnline]

This woman here is 41. Forty fucking one years old. How does that work? Most rockstars look 41 at 25, not the other way around.

[@bradtoast3134]

She looks 60 now.

[@zenbuddah420]

LOVIN HER SOUTHERN ACCENT

[@burnlastsunday]

Audio Recordist/Assistant Editor Patrick Emswiler... Wonder if that's the same guy that was in a band in Boston years ago called the Sterlings. They were awesome.

[@markriffey8899]

The Billy Idol gag was petty good.

[@closedmouth]

she's a musician

[@noizyme]

She's so cute. Wish she never changed her hair, but what are you going to do.

[@eddiegalon3714]

I think Coltrane was from Philadelphia. But CP is spot on with that album. Crescent is great.

[@Drjackdempsey9644]

North Carolina

[@StoryeTime]

I hear you. But I think she's being compassionate ,)))) She can, SHE has talent ,))

[@RK-ti2qq]

Moon Pix would be in my bag.

[@butinmyarms]

This lady can talk about music. Too bad it's so short.

[@valerienash6425]

damn-killin' it! even Elevator to the Gallows soundtrack!!

[@shimtest]

Chan has some good taste in music

[@joannaa25]

now SHE is RAD

[@Guitfiddlejase]

Oh Chan...when are you going to run away with me and just become the jazzer you have always wanted to be? bebop lives Chan... ...much love.

[@Starkalicious07]

These are some good picks. Got a lot of time for those records.

[@daturagirl]

my favorite person ever. myra lee will always be my teenage sad girl album. also that coltrane is his best imo too 💗

[@deadbird1229]

I don't think she's on drugs at all, she's just naturally idiosyncratic and has anxiety problems. She was a drunk for a long time, but she went to rehab for it several years back. She's definitely not high though, she's just a bit eccentric.

[@Domydoor]

oh god i could listen to her speak french all day

[@hcabeleira]

amazing...my favourite music of miles davis...

[@keyehaw]

"Lonnie's Lament" is a transformative piece on "Crescent".

[@whatthe363]

The goat shirt love that!!!!

[@jellyacc]

too short! i could listen to her talk alllll fucking day. shes lovely

[@harryrocks44]

She's cool !

[@19KISStheSKY97]

Miles Davis, John Coltrane, the list goes on..

[@honeyavocado]

Shes so beautifulllllll.

[@WoodRatGirl]

Thank you for your brilliant comment!

[@raaaabert]

She's funny. Love this person.

[@thenewtowncryer]

The trane [train] is always #1- she knows. Bravo Chan!

[@eric_hates_the_poor]

I’m pulling out my copy of crescent right after this...

[@bakersakter]

lol at the goat and the occasional others shirt they opened for her in like 2011 i think

[@vhtsouza]

she seems tormented... but I love her anyway

[@AnthonyMonaghan]

She seems pretty happy here.

[@matthewjamal]

arent we all?

[@stuckdan]

man, awesome awesome picks!

[@13DollarMic]

I don't think she's on drugs, just delightfully weird!

[@indiemusichangouts]

Josh Richardson then you've never been around a junkie before. She definitely "acts like" one. I hope she's not. But, the signs are fairly evident

[@SoulStylistJukeBox]

I want some of whatever she was puffing on before this interview :P

[@awildpatience]

chan is beautiful and i love her.

[@Will-ce6ib]

I think its cool she picked up own album

[@jude999]

What blazers. What you would expect from the queen of cool.

[@nowthisisfuuun]

I love you so much, Chan *hug*

[@analogasmr]

Love this woman!

[@inde169]

I just wanna get a couple of slices of PIZZA, beef, spinach, black olives, mushrooms, onions... and a coke, thanks, Calvin peAce

[@OriginalPinkbird]

I had no idea I was about the same age as Chan. This might not be her most flattering look but some people get bored & like to change their look. She's interesting but she does seem on something. (Whatever, to each her own but generally people can keep recreational drug use in check.) And most smokers can get through an interview without smoking... **If she wears contact lenses...that could be why she's blinking a lot. Cigs bother your eyes more if you wear contacts. They feel dry & cause blinking.

[@foxiana1]

I've been listening to her for a long time and didn't notice, actually; did she?

[@late_privktorian_era]

ok i laughed at the bananas

[@74mcfcbomaye]

She's special.. It's easy as fuck to criticize...

[@DrVonNostrand]

Chan has been thru some shit

[@Harpialand]

she seems like such an interesting person... beautiful X

[@DidivsIvlianvs]

I like songs that mention Coltrane way more than Coltrane.

[@holdthenewt]

whats w/everyone commenting on her smoking & hair...who cares

[@VocabDoctor00]

Because generally speaking, people are superficial retards.

[@holdthenewt]

Ray Anders THANK YOU, RAY.

[@dakota3841]

but oml her music is soooo good

[@vincevirtua]

In answer to the question, I suppose everyone commenting?

[@pleasenononsense]

Damn, I thought she was doin better. Guess not, hope she gets her shit together again

[@bigideas3]

I miss her beautiful long black hair. I hope she is doing well.
