Straight Up Cat Power

When they're not aiding and abetting in the continuing flagellation of one of the most overrated bands in the history of all music, Pitchfork actually provides some sweet music news and information. Case in point, the cover and tracklisting of Cat Power's follow-up to her classic Covers Record.



My friend Annie likens the artwork of this long-awaited release to a Paula Abdul retrospective, and I can't disagree. I can only pray for a similar sentiment to sweep the Internet and the inevitable emergence of a Photoshopped image depicting the luscious Ms. Power buddying up with the one the only MC Skat Kat.

I wanted to celebrate this momentous occasion by sharing video of the rappin' felines smash "Skat Strut", but can you believe it's not uploaded on YouTube? Instead, here's "Opposites Attract", the best song ever about a woman in love with an animated character depicting a non-human creature.
