Yep, Chan Marshall is changing her name.
From now on, it's "Afasm Msafa".
AFASM means "arrow from a southern moon", it is her indian name.
I find this profoundly ridiculous. |

It irritated me when I found out Grohl was on it; imagine my disapointment now!
Even so, I like 'You Are Free'. I like the little paper packet it came in too, which generally, I dislike. |

Yeah, I believe I remember reading that he worked with her on "You Are Free" as well as Grohl. (At least, he supposedly does some vocals on a couple of songs).
It really irritated me, but I bought the album anyway out of much respect for her and her work. I was pretty disappointed in it though.

I tend to go through Cat Power bouts. I've just gone through one.

I like Cat Power... at times. I know What Would The Community Think? and Moonpix pretty well. A friend of mine feels like she's a total blues artist, even though it doesn't sound like the conventional blues often. I can agree with that.

Maybe it means "Moon from a Southern Arrow." It makes just as much sense either way 'round.

Go figure.
For what it's worth, I liked Cat Power very much, until Eddie Vedder got involved. I feel like Chan "Afasm Msafa" Marshall got bit by the same shit-bug that took down Liz Phair.

well i don't believe our french compatriot one bit, but she's lovely.
sure, her earlier stuff is much better, and she's a loney to see live, but she's lovely nonetheless.

Good, let her fade into obscurity... She was reasonably novel at first, but I've seen way too many knock off female artists who mumble and drone and can't write a decent song so they put spaghetti western guitars and reverb all over it and call it art. 8 hours a day is enough sleep for me! Chan should change her name to "Warm Milk"

Is there any particular reason why her new name is a palindrome?
Egad, a base tone denotes a bad age!
"Arrow from a Southern Moon" would make a good album title.

Buy 'You Are Free', it's good.
I think Monsieur Adnan once said she reminds him of Tom Waits, but sounds nothing like him....if that's anything to go by. It made sense to me though. |
