Word Spreading:
Interview w/ Jesse Sykes (only her, not the band). Noticed a few things in common (character-wise) w/ my ultimate idol - think u'll never know who that is.

Great blog of a bohemian French friend of mine. He mentioned me there, I mention him here. I still don't know which artist he likes best: Pavement, Malkmus or (smog). Miss our talks, King.

Cat Power
Work continues on the next Cat Power studio album over the next two weeks in NYC. Chan's contribution to the new Handsome Boy Modeling School album, 'Be My Boy,' is available right now on Atlantic Records. We've been waiting years for the eventual Cat Power/Chris Elliot collaboration, and it's about time.
