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.

Monsieur, are you lying? I also find it profoundly ridiculous.

If I were her I'd change my name from Afasm to sister Isabel.

What a loss for the mankind it would be!

I tend to think that if somewhere in the world a girl renounces to sex it mechanically means there is one girl less for me!

Do all Cats change their names? Should I be worried that my little Chloe will now want to be called "Divine Original Goddess" or DOG for short?

I love the "Jesse Jackson" song by Cat Power. What the heck does the song mean?

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.

I've got a theory about this. If you make your sentence meaningless enough, it makes sense again. It's like surreal poetry.

So I guess by your theory, your theory should make sense now?

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.

...but a bad name for an artist.

easy to make a palindrome when a half of the expression doesn't mean anything.

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"

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.

And they're trying to ban flag-burning.

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.

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

Shit-bug? Is that like a dung beetle or something?

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.

Inna zany combination of Wayne's Pet Youngin'!

Is this true? I know Dave Grohl weedled his way onto You Are Free (who hasn't he done something with in the last two years?)....but, Eddie Vedder?!

I tend to go through Cat Power bouts. I've just gone through one.
I'm clean now though.

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.

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.
