    Lest we forget “Much of the album was written in a single night, following a hallucinatory nightmare Marshall experienced while staying at a farmhouse in South Carolina. Prior to that, Marshall had intended to retire from music. The album was recorded in Melbourne, Australia with Mick Turner and Jim White, of the Australian instrumental band Dirty Three, on guitar and drums, respectively.” ❤️‘s to Chan, dtf

    I first got this album in 2006 on the recommendation of a friend from university called Charlotte. I only made three friends in those three years. One of them was a guy called Joe. For the first two years we became best friends, but were both so awkward we couldn't talk to girls. Finally, in the third year, we made friends with two girls: Charlotte, and another girl called Patti. Charlotte was a strange, tiny but cool person whose music tastes were nothing like anything I knew. We would go round to her place. She played the old NES console. She would come to ours and we would smoke weed and watch Twin Peaks. We felt cool for the first time. She said Moon Pix by Cat Power was her favourite album of all time. I had never heard of Cat Power nor this album. At this time I didn't listen to the album. I had a massive crush on Patti and got mad that it wasn't reciprocated, and got even more mad that she got together with Joe. Looking back, I wish I had just let it happen. I was just a kid, really, but didn't know it at the time. I got so mad I stopped talking to both of them. University ended that summer. Not only had university come to an end, but so had my friendship with Patti and Joe. Charlotte still hung around, but she was the last one left. We stayed in contact, used MSN Messenger, went to London once or twice. She stayed over once but it was strange having her round my parents' house. I was ashamed. Like seeing everything she thought I was now gone, the person I was reduced. In university the world felt new, felt young, full of possibilities. Now there was desolation. Finally, I listened to this album. Finally, I understood what Charlotte was talking about. I wrote a story that was just a rant about humanity. "When no one is around, love will always love you," sang Cat Power, as I wrote and wrote and wrote. After writing, I would be upset for reasons I couldn't fathom at the time. Charlotte tried her best to console me, but she and I both knew we weren't going to stay friends, not whilst things were this bad. It was a very hot summer. A hot, and sad summer, with this album as the soundtrack. Months passed. I got a job. I worked in a dark stock cupboard day after day, numbing myself to my self-imposed loneliness. Fortunately, around December, something in me just snapped. I decided I had to forgive Joe. He was my best friend, after all. Turned out within a week of us talking again, he and Patti broke up. We both broke away from her. Last time I checked she's got kids now. Funny thing is, I don't miss her at all. But Charlotte feels even now like a loss, especially when I listen to this album. Try as we might, even though me and Joe tried to get back to talk to Charlotte, she was gone. Her MySpace page had closed. She never replied to emails. She didn't want to know. Time passed. People come and go. I got older. I wonder what Charlotte is doing now - whether she still thinks this is her favourite album, or whether she's discovered somebody new. For me, the strange thing is, listening to this album is like stopping time. It's as if for me, Cat Power and Charlotte are the same person. Every time I listen to Moon Pix, I think about that summer. I regret everything I did that ended up with her going with no explanation. Maybe it was my fault for pushing her away. Even though she's forgotten me I'm sure, even though she's out there living life with new friends, married with kids, I wonder if she ever thinks about that brief time in university when the world seemed young and full of possibility, and whether she thinks about the summer of 2006 when everything seemed to have turned to sadness. I don't know why I wrote this. I just get so many feelings from this album. Mostly just sad and nostalgic. "When no one is around, love will always love you."

    First saw her live in I believe 96, when she was opening a quadruple bill with Smog, Butterglory and Guv'ner. 'Vulnerable' doesn't even describe how she looked with just a guitar, her eyes hidden behind bangs. I thought she might break down and exist the stage any moment. It was also immediately obvious to everyone there that she was the real deal.

    i saw her in 98 or so? she actually DID break down and cried and ran to the bathroom. one of my friends was really drunk and was yelling at her to get her ass back on the stage, but i felt awful for her. she thought she wasn't doing a good job, but she was. another friend and i comforted her and we told my drunk friend to go away or ....anyway we got her back up there for a few more tunes. i couldn't believe her vulnerability. i had been in tons of bands at that point, and no matter how bad (and some were BAD), i just kept playing and to hell with what people thought. it was like all she was opposite. she only cared what WE thought of her. hopefully she has gotten over that by now!

    @@silvergirlie She played at my college in the early 2000s and sort of fled abruptly during the performance in a way that seemed like it wasn't the planned end of her set. I had read about her difficulties being on stage and wasn't surprised. Later I saw her as she was leaving the building and really wanted to say something (honestly, I wanted to outright give her a hug, I felt such so much for her then) but was sure my attention would have made her feel worse, especially at a time when she wanted to escape.
