and who's Sarah Cracknell ?  Cat Power is the artistname of Chan Marshall. An unique female singer/songwriter playing both guitar & piano. She started somewhere in the 90's and has this sorta wisphering husky voice which I'm in love with right now. And personality-wise, not really the standard woman either. When I was in NY, at her corner it said 'If you like Aimee Mann, we recommend you Cat Power'. Apart from the somewhat calm aura, I don't really get why they said that though. They're very different. |

Sarah Cracknell is the lead singer of Saint Etienne - a band based in Croydon, London. They make very melodic pop music. I would compare it slightly to Hooverphonic. Mike W is the resident expert but my favourite tracks are: Hobart Paving (absolutely breathtakingly beautiful) Avenue You're in a Bad Way Hug My Soul I'll try and check out Cat Power!  |

 Record a couple of ultra miserable albums, go bonkers and start talking about fairies and sh*te and you might just get in there...
