themerrytraveller : reinvented ideas of living

A great start to the new year of 2010, music aficionados will not miss this chance of having a Cat and a Bird croon and stomp the city of Singapore.

Chan Marshall, better known by her moniker ‘Cat Power‘. Yes and my boss, Sean, had told me that ‘Chan’ is pronounced as ‘Sean’.

Chan prefers dogs to cats. She was also purported to be an alcoholic who is prone to erratic stage performances e.g. starting and stopping songs and apologizing repeatedly. Upon realization that she was ‘messed up’, she checked herself into hospital.

Commenting on her drinking problem:

It was that I was on tour for so long and that I lost the love of my life in 1998 to another woman. He was the first person who loved me who I loved. I never saw or heard from him again until last night. He has a girlfriend now — his mom told me, she came to my show in Atlanta. That was the second time I checked myself into the hospital, when I found out that he was with somebody else. I mean, he was living with her. We were done and I didn’t know about it.

Cat Power will be performing on the 13th of January 2010.

The Southern Hemisphere still fascinates me, the South Pacific. I’m not so interested in going to places where there’s densely packed humanity. You know, when you stay in one place a lot, you think, Man, everything is so fucked up. And when you travel a lot, you think, How is everything not more fucked than it is?

Catch Andrew Bird live in Singapore on the 26th of January 2010.
