Drama would have helped when I saw her.

I've seen her twice-- once at a small club in NJ in 1999 where she was overwrought with stage fright, and then at the 2007 Pitchfork Festival, where she was all smiles-- great show (Jim White on drums).  Kinda thought all her stage fright/confidence issues were behind her, but I guess not.

Only artist I've seen have a nervous breakdown on stage.
 In Argentina, I don't know if it was the language barrier, but she started talking like a crazy person...... and then simply left the stage.. so embarassing and unprofessional.

The second time I saw her was more recently opening for someone I actually wanted to see. Her performance was better than valium.

She gives really good interviews.. they're always the same.. she'll tell you how she's recently had a rough time.. either the booze , stagefright, bad relationship or something.. so lets you into her life and builds some trust like that.. THEN she tells you its over and she's turned a new leaf and is in a good place now. SHe then explains with some child psychology why it all happened. Of course then she takes off a year or two and gives the same interview replacing a few words when she's promoting the next _fill in the blank_.

I often think people fall for her baloney because she is pretty. She's like that pretty tease girl in High School...If she wasn't pretty you wouldn't even listening to her psychobabble.

oh, this ain't good . . . if true.
The person that did this is definitely a fucking idiot.
But.
I am far from a GOP apologist.  But it's not exactly fair to take the actions of one or two assholes and then paint the entire convention with a broad brush.

I DO NOT like the GOP platform, their candidates or their policies.  But I guarantee you the Dems harbor their fair share of idiots too.

I didn't think the Cat Power show at the club in '09 was bad at all. I was right up front though, and I really dig the Jukebox stuff. It got a bit dull during the extended "Blue" intro, but otherwise, it was a solid performance.

I'm looking forward to hearing how the new stuff - especially the electronic elements - translate live.

Not exactly just announced (or local), but there's this gig:

8/30
The Meatmen/Anti-Nowhere League
Union Transfer
Philly, PA

Any chance either of these bands are coming to DC/Baltimore?
