I met her!

[thomarse]

I met Chan at her London gig supporting Dirty Three last night!! She's even lovelier in real life !!

Great gig too.. played 3 new songs right at the start... they were really good...

Didn't play much off You Are Free... just "I don't blame you", "Evolution" and one other.. I was dying for her to play "Werewolf" and "Fool" but she didn't.

It was only a support slot but she was in a great mood, kept saying how happy she was etc. No backing band, just her and her piano and guitar.

We walked in .. early.. the venue was just slowly filling up, she was just standing at the bar!! I nearly wet myself!! She's soooo gorgeous. I am really star struck!!

[pete]

sorry, i have to disagree. we were very disappointed in cat power. we were expecting good thingd with all the build up, but she proved more than "difficult". she hardly finished a song, overran by 15 minutes, was an insult to the paying audience.

contrast to the excellent dirty three.

[Lloyd Hopkins]

There was a time when I used to get frustrated at the shows when I really wanted to hear a phrase from a song and it was cut off but the dirty three show was just so much fun.

She was drunk and happy and funny and kicked in with that voice just enough for the audience to forgive everything. Perhaps she could have taken the show a bit more seriously but I got the impression she was having some fun at someone else's show.

Perhaps there should be a disclaimer on the tickets saying TONIGHT CAT POWER WILL BE DOING ANYTHING SHE WANTS TO.

Pretty cool by me.

[A Good Soul]

Yes, my experience was pretty similar. She played a song or two and then proceeded to sit and read a magazine, or flyer or something. Everyone kinda just stood around for ten minutes kinda dumbfounded. This was like five years ago though. Didn't really bother me that much, I just didn't understand why you would charge people to hear your music and not play at least a few songs. While I always have respect for the "screw everyone else" attitude, the rock star treatment was a little uncool.

Maybe she's matured now. Either way, she's a great song writer so I could care less about her personal attitude.

[pink_press_rat]

i hate to further disappoint you...but cat power is allowed to act in whichever manner she pleases. Everybbodys worried about their almighty fuckin dollar when obviously she is not be indebted to you because you bought her album......how much is your soul worth....bear with it guyz and quit the whimpering.....

[marc]

So pink press rat came all the way over here to save rock and roll, oi mate? Have to tell you when a show SUCKS it simply SUCKS. Nobody likes that except if you're a "press rat" (are ya, darlin'?) and you don't pay a dime for your ticket. Even then, although you do have to put up with a shit concert, afterwards it's just sooo much fun ripping it to shreads in the review, ain't it! Well if miss Marshall is allowed to act in whichever manner she pleases, then I should be allowed to say "she plays like crap when she's drunk" anytime I please. Except if the moderator doesn't like this message and cuts it out! I have to say her album is worth every penny but her shows just don't pay... Hell, forget about the money, what about the TIME I wasted seeing her sad act? It was just so boooooring...

[J_fancher]

life is boring. Maybe you just saw your boring self. Boring bastard in boring life what you make it i saiod nothing, so dont respond, boring.

[marc]

sorry but i am just boring enough to rreply, luv.

[J_fancher]

ohmygawd now we're all gonna fucking die!

[J_fancher]

oops the wanker thing rolled off my back, i see.

damn i shoulda gotten all mad and went into some aptented spew, but ah, well, um.... can i just say, um, lessee, "you dumbhead" there.

[J_fancher]

so many people online
so many meaningless one word insults like im in kindergarden it amazes me.

[marc]

nothin against you fancher actually, just trying to shift the subject to a lighter area... personal insults always work. peace, y'all

[jabber_meow]

Am i the only one getting tired of reading peoples opinions of Cat Power shows?

Don't rely on the internet to make decisions for which concerts you go to. If you want to go, go. Once you pay for a ticket and go, take it for what it is. But don't try to "SAVE" us all from wasting our money or whatever it is you think you're doing.

It's a fucking concert, for godssake. Get a life, people.

[thomarse]

Pardon me if I'm wrong but I'd have thought a likely subject for discussion on an artist's forum is what that artist's gigs are like. If you don't like the threads, get a life and don't read them. the one thing worse than people whining about her gigs, and that's people whining about the people whining.

[jabber_meow]

and if we could be face to face and not text to text, i'd rip your dick off and shove it down your throat.

you're just another God complex.

and now i'm whining about you whining about me whining about whiners whining about Cat Power shows.

Can we take this to an even deeper level now?

Bring it on.

[thomarse]

Losers who threaten physical violence on the internet are just SO scary.

Fuck off, you silly twat.

[J_fancher]

dude, if you say something like that again, im gonna beat the living shit out of you.

oh yeah, and shove your dick down your throat.

stupid bastard bitching bout empty threat.

haw ha.

(not really)

[thomarse]

question is, how does he know he'd have to rip it off to stuff it down my throat? Maybe it'd reach anyway!

[J_fancher]

wow, so what do you do when you wanna wear shorts?

[thomarse]

coil it up on a hose reel.

[J_fancher]

the only question that lingers in my head now is what the hell it meant by take it deeper. The convo about bullshit or the penis?

anyways, calling that convo deep kinda struck me funny.

[jabber_meow]

j_felcher

you need to read thumb-arses post more carefully:
"Losers who threaten physical violence on the internet are just SO scary.
Fuck off, you silly twat."

what makes you so sure I have a dick anyway? Sorry to inform you that this isn't an all-male site (don't worry, it's free, so you don't have to get a refund!)

and what the hell is this?: "stupid bastard bitching bout empty threat." (1-800-PHONICS should help you there)

figures you'd wonder what it meant by 'take it deeper'. sounds like you and thumbarse oughta get together so you can ram your coolness into each others' "depths" until your God-complex cavities overflow. so mysterious how you inform each other of your penis size...

[thomarse]

I didn't assume you were a male!? Although I'm surprised that a woman would say something so stupid, they're normally on a higher level than us men.

[J_fancher]

what a maroon.

[thomarse]

is that like a macaroon with the ca taken out?

[J_fancher]

uh oh, someone dinnit get the requisite dose of bugs bunny.

[thomarse]

yep, right over my head. i was in africa away from telly when i was a boy

[J_fancher]

it basically means "what a clod"

i was jes callin that psuedo-angry person a dumbass, that's all.

[thomarse]

you're right though. woman needs to take a chill pill or twenty.

[J_fancher]

yeah, fer sure.

but hey, how can you assume it's a woman? All it said was how can you assume i have dick? I dont think anyone ever said a word about it's dick, whether it has one or not, or whatever.

Silly subject, and the lines are all crossed anyways.

i think it has a serious scatterbrain issue, worse than even, say, me.

[thomarse]

oh I've no idea. I just suspect that a bloke wouldn't get upset if you assumed (correctly) that he was a bloke. I don't even know where all that came from, because I never even said "you're a man" or even inferred anything.

Must have been pure paranoia!!

And don't be hard on yourself. None of us are 100% sane.

[Lawrence]

Yay! That's pretty fucking alright.

[Futureman]

cretins, the lot of you!

[J_fancher]

fuk you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

im the only real cretin here. Most others are nice, and good people they just get outta line. Sometimes i seem nicer and more level headed than everyone, but that's only because IM THE REAL CRETIN!!!!

how dare you give credit to the rest of these fools.

while we're at it, im the only asshole

im the only true louse (i mean drunken louse, although, mrs marshall is starting to act like i did at the chicago show this year, ohmygod, can she be a cretin like me too? oh god i can only hope!!!!!)

haw ha.

damnit, chan is something else, wow. She's the only girl that even comes close to impressing me as much as another girl that is not seeking public attention, so i will nhot say her name.

anyways

back to the matter at hand.

i am THE cretin, louse asshole, braggart, peice of shit, artist, criminal, drunkard, did i say peice of shit?

dont confuse others with the best!

haw ha.

[afterglow]

know a guy who met her- story will follow...
saw her in Chicago long, long time ago in a
little club called Lounge Ax & none of my friends
would go w/ me cuz they never heard of her (lame)
@ some point in the show I swear she said
lick-lick-my clit.
yep- just kinda threw it out there, very impressed
so my friend? yea- he wanted to kiss her but
she passed out in his lap, exciting.
is that guy in here somewhere?
I wonder?

[afterglow]

has anyone heard of the seagreen incorruptible?
I noticed that J_Fancher signs out haw ha and I think
this website may have quoted him on a cat power
somethingorother, maybe?anyway
@ geocities.com/seagreen1.geo
click news & scroll to April 29,2003.
yeah so CP passed out on B Ward.
that's what I heard.

the reason why the shows are all 21+.... I would try to convince her, but I really think she'd rather have a drink then my $15 ticket.

[bohemian_1]

...hmm...I met her. Had a few drinks...makes it easier to relate. Ya need drinks to put up with it all sometimes. Cheers!

So you met her or your friend did? How did her
clit taste, or should we ask? :-O Wouldn't mind
her signing my t shirt with it but that's getting a
little tasteless and personal!

[afterglow]

uh-oh- you caught me,
it was my friend, not me
but there is no "My friend met her" thread so...
I just said what I thought was interesting (?).
Maybe I should go to the "saw her live" one
or something.
or start a "met her best friend"/ "my friend
met her friend"/"know someone who...fill in the blank"
ad inifinitim
not really interested in knowing how she tastes,
but would like to share some Makers Mark w/ her.

[lelani23]

I just saw this amazing guy called summer at shatter creek play in LA. he reminded me of cat power, who (just to keep the thread consistent) i've never met but love. my boyfriend wants me to be her i think. impossible!

It's easy, just click your heels three times and imagine you are a cow passing through the eye of a needle and the eye is actually the eye of a hemmoraging blob and the blob is ventillating, and then orgamsing, and the whole orgasm appears on the table of an imp[ortant luncheon; bleeding, pus-letting, it finally expires and the attendees relent to carving and eating it, but first it must be dedicated to our armed services and men of office.

[afterglow]

and then...?

[cherryburp]

is that not enough?

[J_fancher]

afterglow, maybe it's funny, as long as yer not me, but oh well, such is such.

lowest jester, here at everyones servifce, and almost nearly that drunk.

well anyways, good, um intentions or what not to all, yeah, that's a good thing no?

have fun.

[bohemian_1]

Well...so much for meeting Chan. She's probably chillin in NYC before her west coast and Japan gigs. Tough place to run into her. I'll settle for meeting someone who reminds me of her also...put this thread to sleep.

[afterglow]

finally Fancher replies! hooooorray.
why am I happy 'bout that ????
don't know.
I am just happy today/night. One of those
chemical imablance things known as mania
perhaps, or a subatance known as alcohol.
who can really say? this is cool and stupid
shit man, cool and stupid shit.
embrace the _Power in your life. yup

[afterglow]

i was excited about this until the thought came
to just say fuck you all.
If you're all so fuckin' tired I guess I'll go nite nite
now too.
lick lick it sugar
it's never/forever been a waste of my time.
I just wanna hear/discuss shit about CatPower
is that so wrong

[J_fancher]

she has brown hair.

[cherryburp]

Brown hair is always debatable. Is it tan, is it brown, is it
chocolate, is it chestnut, or is it... cinnamon? I believe copper
is not entirely unfound either. The real question is does she
shed much, and, has anyone ever caught a sample from
the stage? I would love to get one signed.

Hey hey, rock n roll!

[cherryburp]

And I'm not talking about pubic hairs afterglow, so put your clit
away. But I did hear she doesn't shave down under which is
cause for jubilation.

[soot]

Time to close this thread....

[cherryburp]

Oh soot, must you!

[silver_glider]

I guess I shouldn't share this personal dream (Im definitely no groupie) but here goes anway:

Having lost some of the details, I procede with Chan having moved to city (X), as relayed by a mutual friend (?) which happens to be my old home turf. Apparently she has moved into this nice old home- really somewhere between house and mansion, having a tiled deck and granite railing in the back. Later in the dream I am asleep and wake up --or perhjaps I am still asleep-- and find myself going to her house (led by curiosity and this intuiting guidance). She is wandering out alone on this granite deck. Her coming towards the ledge, I duck beneath it hiding (wanting to remain invisible slightly longer as I myself am not sure what I am doing there) which is of no use because she clearly saw me. Shes asks what I am doing. I laugh and say that I am just getting the spider webs out of my eyes (while doing so with my fingers), then I say hello. She is surprised, pleasantly it seems, and I explain that I found her because "I dreamed it" and then insist "but I hope I'm not dreaming now".

She invites me in and introduces me to her three pets. The first one is a little brown losaobsa (sp) that had been running around joyously, and somewhat haphazardly. The other two were larger, tamer dogs. She explains that these are "the good dogs" (while I am thinking I really prefer the little losaobsa! (sp)).

So, I am hanging out in the house, which has a generous amount of rooms and room-space, and If I remember correctly, tasteful old conservative decorations. She is sad but wants to be alone, so I lay down in the living room and play with her dogs, my general presence performing the duty of keeping her company as she stays in this large house alone.

Eventually I see her again and walk up to her closely, holding her face, brushing the hair to one side, trying to impart some kind of tenderness through the eyes, it seemed. At around this point, or soon after, lightning strikes, crashing outside my bedroom window. I wake up and there is no other thunder, only a little rain that is slowly beginning.

[afterglow]

I love having dream about famous people I admire.
They don't happen often enough.
so I guess you woke up happy and a
bit wistful maybe?.

[silver_glider]

I woke up and closed the windows so the rain wouldn't come in and then went back to bed and dreamed that I was a chess piece in "a ballet of mice". They were each dressed up and dancing, and the one kept looking at me to watch my ques but I couldn't move (physically) until after the curtains closed. So I just wept. Such a terrible performance!

[DIPPER]

Hehe.

silver_glider you is one crazy mofo.


Quick somebody call the men in white coats, this person needs some insulin shock therapy perhaps followed by a partial frontal lobotomy.

[silver_glider]

Hmm... you buying?

[Futureman]

only on a 'Cat Power' thread...

[afterglow]

I have brown hair.
who else out there has brown hair?
Brown hairs of the world unite.
Can I get a witness!

[silver_glider]

Mine is the color of an ice cream sandwhich wafer,
to which I've been compared before.

Hmph.

i just have to agree with you jabber_meow...thats exactly what i tell my freinds that have already seen her
i just went to my first cat power show on sunday may, 23 (2004) and i thought it was great. she played all the songs i was dying to hear. it was great while it lasted, but my freind got sick over her drink and we had to leave early. i was greatly dissapointed and cried all the way home..that show was perfect and i had to miss the best part - the end!!
and sure i can go see her again but its never as good as the first time.
so i just have to say to all of you to just shut up and let everyone else find out for themselves...if you like it, you like it. and she still plays at pretty small venues, so stop your complaining, it could've been a whole lot more expensive...
and keep this in mind: "no matter how bad things are, they can always get worse."

[Sashja]

and, oh, before i forget
anyone here go to that sunday show at the troubador (or however its spelled)
i want to know the name of that guy who opend the night, the one before women and children...
was he entrence?
