City and colour

I'm sorry. I've been too busy spending money to blog much. But I'm glad to be back in the city. It's only been three weeks since my return and few things have changed in this great city. I've taken a temporary job at my former place of employment while I search for a more permanent position in media. If anyone has any job leads, please let me know. I'm a nice, enthusiastic, hard-working and well-educated girl.

Last week, we saw Cat Power and the show was lovely, though perhaps slightly too long for a weekday evening of standing room only. I love her haircut and was amazed that she still sounded perfect even while inhaling the Camel cigarettes on stage. She wouldn't agree with me as she constantly apologized to the crowd for performance. Don't be so hard on yourself Chan! The jury's still out on who has the loveliest voice: Cat Power or Feist. Thoughts?

Monday night, I watched Fast Food Nation and although I haven't read the book, I've heard a lot about it. I guess I was expecting something wonderful since one of my favourite directors/writer Richard Linklater was the director and co-writer. It was just OK but it was a reminder to eat less fast food. I got free passes to see this ridiculous film tomorrow night. Don't be jealous.

More music to come later...

cat power or feist?

shiznat, that's a hard call. feist's version of bss's "lover's spit" does indeed rival cp's "the greatest." feist has more range, i think, but cp has more lusty soul.

i think we'll hafta decide this by a duel.

creamed-corn wrestling.

to the death!

Creamed-corn is so versatile.

"Lover's Spit" is a perfect song to showcase Feist's voice. I would also use "Let It Die" as an example because she just emotes so damn well.

But for Cat, it should definitely be "The Greatest."
