this is the best version of this song, imo. sounds incredible. this was the version I had on my laptop in college all those years ago, downloaded from Kazaa, when I fell in love with cat power. i bought the cd, but preferred this version.
This song. This woman. This performance is a treasure. Thanks so much for sharing. I also want to mention I love this era of Cat Power her hair in her face, the youth in her voice. Which doesn't mean I don't love her later and current period. It's a case study at how effortlessly Chan Marshall reinvents herself. So authentic and true to her art not being pulled in by the commercial blackhole and the limelight. What an enduring Artist.
Wow. I've been listening to this version since '99 without ever knowing there was a video version until today. Such a great version of a great tune. Thanks so much for uploading this all those years ago.
@sinsweatnsorrow Thank god you didn't delete them! I'm very greatful these are available, i've been in love with this womans music for a long time, to see this up is awesome, its like finding your favorite cartoon on on sunday!
Jim White is one of the best drummers on this planet, to criticise his excellent *purposefully off-beat* drumming on this song only shows how little you know about music and drumming.
Cheating Ex fiancé. He still loves me. I hate his fucking guts. Fine lines between love and hate. I ended it and two years later he’s still trying. Married to the mistress, but still trying. Ha... maybe you gotta leave to be a good woman because they’re a bad man.
Yeah, that's my problem. It's purposefully off-beat drumming. In my OPINION(people can have those) it doesn't serve this song in the least. Maybe I shouldn't have called the guy a terrible drummer, cus to be fair I haven't heard much of his work. If I knew every indie expert would come and attack me because "I don't get it" I probably would have something worse ;) Anyway, let people have an opinion folks, I'm sure you have them about music too, means you might know more about music and drumming
This has spawned a ton of angsty styled voices still lingering on today. Feist, pamplemousse, Coeur de Pirate...Irritating. Feels like they deliberately want to sound weak.

God but I love this woman's voice, her incredible talent.
Chan Marshall is precious. Those lyrics and that voice... the feeling is immense.
An ULTIMATE song... Musicians in particular should recognize this for gold....

I agree with you.She was,she is,and she' ll be fantastic.I love her!...
There needs to be a movie on her.
This could be the saddest, truest song ever written.
What a beautiful person.
So sad when a couple can't make it work but it is all they want. People can and do ruin each other every day.
Great observation
i never knew this was such an old song
me neither!
Chan is the best, and definitely deserves a good man. Plus hugs. Lots and lots of hugs.
Holy shit, i feel like my soul is crashing against my body or something like that. Thank you for uploading this.
Love her ❤

Long life to Cat Power ^.^
A very beautiful song.
An amazing artist. This song is one of my top 10 ever. Have seen her many times and she is a lovely person, but she appears to be in need of help.
I'm currently the guy in this exact scenario and I'm in such agony I love her so much
+Jason Shams I feel you, doc...you can be a better man, even find a better woman...forgive yourself...and her as soon as you can...
peace
I hope everything worked out for you.
mijn favoriete liedje en een mooi optreden.
Love you Chan, thanks for your music, when are you coming to Dublin, Ireland?
great! this is extremely rare indeed.
This was the night I fell into deep and abiding love with Chan Marshall... 💕

"metal heart" was also performed on this show, and there was an interview - any chance you might have those too ?
The voice that spawned a million voices.

I waited my adult life to see Cat. Had my chance in Toronto 2 weeks ago and was late and missed her. 😢

My friends used to wonder how I could listen to you after a day of wildness. But if you cannot understand then do not listen please

'Go Jimmy!!' Famous quote from Wazza.
Dirty Three introduced me to Jim While brill! .friend just turns me onto Cat Power, thanks.
True

Breaking up is hard to do
Anyone know what guitar she's using? Damn , she and the band were great.
Francis McCyran 60’s era Danelectro
It's a 60's Silvertone (which was at that time made by Danelectro and sold by Sears Roebuck.)
Cosmic blues from Chan
Didn't know this was recorded in 1999.
Wait that's Mick Turner?
Its Jason Molina, but its obviously not. But it is.
She looked so different! Good performance though..
Who is the drummer?
Jim White!
Y no quiero que lo seas tu
So this isn't a 2003 song but an older one
Desearía que fueras una mala mujer a veces
No quiero
Yeah, that's my problem. It's purposefully off-beat drumming. In my OPINION(people can have those) it doesn't serve this song in the least.

She used to be so cute
Nobody looks the same forever
I dedicated my email account to her catpowerny

They could drop the Irish influenced accents though.
