As for Cat Power, I was totally expecting to hate/be bored with Marshall's new direction, but I love her newer stuff. She's even weirder now than she was before. The Greatest surpasses the (somewhat tiring) You Are Free album, imo.
Jukebox is an odd collection of covers that are all over the place, but in a good way. The 6-song EP that was released afterward (and is made up of left-overs from Jukebox) has two great songs on it and 4 lazy inoffensive dirges. The EP is, imo, the weakest thing she's ever put out... but that was sort of to be expected considering it's a collection of rejects from a previous album.
I'm really looking forward to her next one, since it's supposed to have newly recorded studio versions of some great live songs (one in particular being Leopard and Lamb from the Moon Pix tour).
