If you suddenly had piles of money just lying around, I might recommend purchasing a vial or two of Vincent Gallo’s million dollar sperm and pumping it into a drunken cellist beneath the full harvest moon? I imagine the results might be something nearing the edge of brilliance Chan Marshall has somehow managed to consistently deliver time and time again.
Jukebox, Cat Power's latest triumph, is the second cover album Chan has managed to pull of, pinning us to any audible speakers, leaving us sweating and slightly uncomfortable.
