I was in that there London that they have nowadays over the weekend and noticed a large poster on the Underground for Cat Power's - I presume - new album. I am quite befuddled by her. She seems to get quite a lot of media and critical coverage and, yet, I have quite literally never heard anything of hers. There isn't anything particularly odd about that except for the fact that she appears to be of my vintage and around the hinterland of what I listen to - yer Dave Grohls and whatnot. Not only that but I don't think I have ever heard anyone I know mention her let alone mention that they have albums of her or attending gigs of hers.
This isn't, in any away, a criticism of her at all. Well, I can't really criticise her as I never heard anything of hers. In my mind, she kind of occupies the same space, culturally, as Pearl Lowe but that my be doing her a massive disservice. Can anyone explain to me why someone with a reasonably large idea, critical and marketing profile has completely missed me by? Am I missing a lot?
