It's odd how bands/artists can become fashionable overnight. Until about a week ago I had never heard of Cat Power and I have to say her stupid name would tend to put me off anyway. Now she is getting (mixed) reviews in just about every paper and magazine I pick up. Still, anyone who streams their music for free is ok by me. It is very good too, which is also O.K in my book.
