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

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@icarus212001]

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

[@soaribb32]

Heroin is my favorite

[@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.

[@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

[@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 :)

[@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.

[@Greyeyes23sight]

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

[@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.

[@amixofeverything]

Her taste in music is real good. Classy.

[@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"

[@VTECheart]

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

[@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

[@beksinski]

crushing since forever.

[@kevingarry11]

I love her she is beautiful and has a amazing voice

[@mozartfx1]

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

[@revolutionday1]

+Mozart FX Yeah, that's disgusting.

[@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?

[@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

[@bornloser2020]

She's so pretty and ageless!

[@ashredgrave5357]

shes my favourite person ever

[@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.

[@MathieuLLF]

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

[@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.

[@NoCoverCharge]

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

[@spensert4933]

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

[@kiaibi]

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

[@strangemarkings]

RIP Ahmad Jamal, the beautiful piano you hear on Crescent

[@kingoflimbs1]

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

[@neonatalpenguin]

I wanna give her a hug.

[@jackbudgen8858]

I love Cat Power.

[@leemythic4400]

What a character, she's great.

[@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.

[@jackmeriwether4189]

one of the greatest videos ever

[@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...

[@rb919]

I love the way her mind works..

[@zenbuddah420]

LOVIN HER SOUTHERN ACCENT

[@cheekadders3389]

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

[@FredZepplin]

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

[@brownyuio]

Couldn't have picked better albums than those

[@dpriola]

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

[@blondthought5175]

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

[@bubsadoozy]

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

[@markriffey8899]

The Billy Idol gag was petty good.

[@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.

[@joannaa25]

now SHE is RAD

[@butinmyarms]

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

[@analogasmr]

Love this woman!

[@shimtest]

Chan has some good taste in music

[@eddiegalon3714]

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

[@Drjackdempsey9644]

North Carolina

[@hcabeleira]

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

[@honeyavocado]

Shes so beautifulllllll.

[@whatthe363]

The goat shirt love that!!!!

[@daturagirl]

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

[@stuckdan]

man, awesome awesome picks!

[@19KISStheSKY97]

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

[@valerienash6425]

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

[@closedmouth]

she's a musician

[@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.

[@StoryeTime]

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

[@watkinscopicat]

love you chan

[@harryrocks44]

She's cool !

[@RK-ti2qq]

Moon Pix would be in my bag.

[@Starkalicious07]

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

[@nowthisisfuuun]

I love you so much, Chan *hug*

[@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.

[@raaaabert]

She's funny. Love this person.

[@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

[@Domydoor]

oh god i could listen to her speak french all day

[@keekoxoxo]

Love Chan XO!

[@awildpatience]

chan is beautiful and i love her.

[@IsisMusic]

I love her

[@merlussaoficial]

what happend in her eyes?

[@DidivsIvlianvs]

I like songs that mention Coltrane way more than Coltrane.

[@noizyme]

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

[@keyehaw]

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

[@shruggzdastr8-facedclown]

So, were the bananas at the beginning a reference to the Velvet Underground album cover?

[@brimzs]

Thats what i thought

[@broken1394]

I hope so the Velvets first is my all time favourite lp.

[@74mcfcbomaye]

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

[@DrVonNostrand]

Chan has been thru some shit

[@jude999]

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

[@Harpialand]

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

[@thenewtowncryer]

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

[@jellyacc]

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

[@Will-ce6ib]

I think its cool she picked up own album

[@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.

[@vhtsouza]

she seems tormented... but I love her anyway

[@AnthonyMonaghan]

She seems pretty happy here.

[@matthewjamal]

arent we all?

[@eric_hates_the_poor]

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

[@WoodRatGirl]

Thank you for your brilliant comment!

[@bakersakter]

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

[@connorpowell6338]

was this around the time just after her problem with sleep paralysis? if so that could be an explanation to her physical state? that shit really takes the wind out of you

[@nickpelkey]

Video not available in my country? USA? This is from Amoeba right?
