Love It or Hate It? Cat Power's Cleopatra Eyes

After indie-rock superstar Cat Power started hanging out with Karl Lagerfeld, I began to worry that she'd lose her quirk. It's happened to some extent, but upon seeing her eye makeup at last night's concert in Mexico City, I'm breathing a sigh of relief. She used black liquid eyeliner to draw lines above and below her eyes, then filled the middle in with gold eye shadow. There's even a drawn-on Read more

Song of the Day: Cat Power, "Song to Bobby"

It was one of my favorite albums of 2006, and I'm still listening to Cat Power's The Greatest well into 2007. But I'm really looking forward to the new album of covers that Cat Power (aka Chan Marshall) is releasing in January, as a companion to her 2000 covers project, The Covers Record. Dubbed Jukebox, Marshall's upcoming album will feature her bluesy and romantically disaffected takes on Read more

Girl Crush of the Day: Cat Power

Chan (pronounced "Shawn") Marshall aka Cat Power is a force of nature. She's a great singer/songwriter in the tradition of Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez and Stevie Nicks. It doesn't hurt that girlfriend's a great beauty with a "colorful" past. But now she's all cleaned up, was chosen by Kaiser Lagerfeld himself to be the face of Chanel, and is performing at the top of her game. It was the following Read more

Def Leppard is nearly finished working on a new album titled Songs From the Sparkle Lounge. Though the title sounds kind of glittery and fun, the music will apparently be "classic Def Leppard," plus "some moments on it where anybody that's familiar with our music will go, 'Whoa! I wasn't expecting that!'" says frontman Joe Elliott. Tool thinks people will be interested in watching their Read more

What's Buzzworthy? Girls With Guitars

I'm not crazy about the new Rosie Thomas album, These Friends of Mine. It's pleasant enough, but if I want to listen to a good female singer-songwriter, I'd much rather put on some Cat Power (pictured), Aimee Mann, or that old standby, Tapestry by Carole King. So I want to know: What are you favorite albums by girls with guitars? Tell me by using BuzzSugar's cool Buzzworthy feature to bookmark Read more
