Cool Tattoo and Cat Power
I was at the Cat Power concert at Richard's on Richard's last Sunday. Boy it was good. I saw her when I was over in Scotland and she was drunk as a skunk before her third song. She never managed to complete a single song and always drifted off into some incoherent story. The audience got really abusive.
So I was looking forward to this concert with trepidation.
Luckily here in Vancouver she was totally on form and it rocked. Rumour has it she quit drinking a while back. All of her classics were represented plus quite a few covers. She did a haunting rendition of Blue Moon that led into All I Have To Do is Dream. She did a cover of Satisfaction and a few lines of White Stripes song. Almost all of the tracks on You Are Free got played plus a bunch I'd never heard before. A rare talent with a haunting voice. The set kind of devolved in a few improvised tunes before she left at the very end.
While I was there, I saw a girl who had, I think, the coolest tattoo I've ever seen on her shoulder. Here is it here. She walked in front of me. I went after her and told her how cool I thought her tattoo was but I think I scared her. It was dark and I'm tall. I didn't get a picture but this is what it was.
If I understand it correctly, it means 1) rest 2) how long is up to you 3) go back to the beginning and repeat. Lovely.
