One from The Garden Vaults
This 6 song session with Chan Marshall aka Cat Power was originally recorded onto cassette tape and broadcast in October 1998. I re-discovered it recently and ripped it and so this is the first time it has ever been heard in full by anyone other than me and her, and let's be honest no-one was probably tuned into cable radio back then anyway. When she came to record her session at the studio she was accompanied by 2 of her friends, the band The Dirty Three who just sat in the corridor chatting and smoking.
Chan was so sweet that day, sitting opposite me in our tiny studio, strumming and singing to me for nearly an hour, I had left the tape running to record everything and these are the six songs that she completed. There were many attempts at others like Dreams by Fleetwood Mac but these are the ones that came out best and it really was a magical afternoon for me to have such an intimate performance from her.Friends of Dean Martinez : The Shadow Of Your Smile

- A 60+ year old dude came to my place and axed me if I had ever seen Miles live while he had twice. I felt both offended and jealous.palimpsest
- If axed, fuck him. If friendly, then I'd have felt jealous and in awe.Wordsworth
- Palim, thanks for that link!Wordsworth
- @palim I have actually had that experience at my grandmother's funeral. My brother is a percussionist and jazz musician. We were standing around..garbage
- ..talking about Bitches Brew, and one of my dad's old co-worker's was like "You talking about Miles!? I saw him back in the day!"garbage
- My um.. dead grandmother took an immediate backseat to his stories.garbage
- Everybody takes a backseat to Miles.palimpsest
- Being a black American in France was an eye opening experience back in the day.palimpsest
- Yeah. Josephine Baker moved there permanently and talked about that a lot.CyBrainX
