On Tuesday, I Was Obsessing

over Cat Power's album "The Greatest," again. I used to drive around and around Berkeley listening to it on repeat, loud. That was a rough time and I'm not so sure my "The Greatest" listening was quite healthy. But it is a hell of an album. This time around, I like to start with the song "Empty Shell." It's so over-the-top romantic. It's like spinning around alone in a big dark room with disco-ball lights whirring. It's like slowly running a piece of dark blue velvet over your skin. I love it.
