emeralds' 'solar bridge' is a beautofil mindfuck, also one of the greats of 08.

I didn't like Microcastle. Sounds like a ballad from Twin Peaks.

I dislike them, but I hear Portishead's latest is great. Also go for Just a Souvenir by Squarepusher, but that may be what you consider a risky buy.

Ooh, and while we're on the topic of shameless self promotion, check my sig for the link to my discography. It's all free, baby

Even if she could act I'd kick her out of bed.

1-5 Suishou No Fune - Prayer for Chibi.



Also, "Microcastle" isn't Twin Peaks ENOUGH. For a record that sounds exactly like music form Twin Peaks but is actually good, check out Bohren & Der Club Of Gore's "Dolores".

Not as much. Only on like one track.

It's a really weird album. Sounds like a full rock band at times. Not as jazzy. Has some poppy stuff too. Has a mix of everything he's done and stuff he's never explored before. It's actually pretty brilliant. My girlfriend's 13 year old brother likes it.

I'm not too convinced that Jukebox was voted worst album because the music is "bad." I think it's more a case of Chan Marshall wearing too much makeup, dancing like an idiot during shows, and doing tons of commercial work that has those voters upset.

I'm not one of those Cat Power apologists who praises everything she does because I have some unhealthy fixation on her as a person. I honestly wouldn't pay more than 25 bucks to see her live, as her stage shows are so unpredictable. I GENUINELY like 98% of the music she puts out, and I think her latest polished pop is excellent. Jukebox has some great covers and, imo, one of her best original compositions, 'Song to Bobby'. While I do find Jukebox to be one of her weaker efforts, I don't like it any less than say her You Are Free album, which is typically praised by most "fans."

Jukebox is nothing earth-shattering by any means, and she can certainly do better. I just can't bring myself to believe that it's the WORST album of the year. I'm quite convinced that this is simply another case of image overriding the music.

Take this comment from a Brainwashed reader for example, "How long can you release substandard, undernourished albums of cutesy postmodern cover versions, and play live shows that are famous for their awfulness, and still continue to be a critical darling and indie pinup girl? For Chan Marshall, the answer is thirteen fucking years."

She's had like eight albums, two of which were covers, and those two cover albums are completely different in sound, design and execution. Just another case of someone, who doesn't even appear to have listened to the album, bitching about "popularity."
