Did you put it on a wall?

**Cokelike** Wed 28 Nov - 14:22

Not yet, I need to buy more frames. But I'll post a picture of them all on the wall with the You Are Free poster framed as well, whenever I get all of them up. Should be soon.

"But instead Diplo leaves for his room, perhaps to work on a remix he says he owes another friend, Cat Power."

Jay-Z, Diplo...something is happening but we don't know what it is, do we...?
I'm pretty sure now that there will be a remix of the album. The only doubt that i have is: will there be a physical release or will it be download only?

**Cokelike** Fri 30 Nov - 8:06

Possible Cat Power dubstep. Wow... Hmm.... Neutral

Wow....

SUN is ranked 16 in Rolling Stone list of the 50 best albums of the year: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/50-best-albums-of-2012-20121205/bob-dylan-tempest-19691231

I strongly disagree but who cares? tongue

**Cokelike** Sat 8 Dec - 13:55

Rolling Stone, always hit or miss. Even since the very beginning. But not that horrible. Enjoyed the recent Bob Dylan and Jimmy Page interviews.

Speaking of the older guys, Bob Dylan and Neil Young in their top 10 albums of year. Talk about longevity. Love those guys. Never heard of Frank Ocean.

Autographed Deluxe Vinyl from Strictly Discs (record shop) in Wisconsin. They received 5 of them. Not known how many were distributed to other shops in total. The "Sun" in gold foil did not scan well since its reflective.

A remix of Ruin appeared. I don't know how official it is: http://www.indieshuffle.com/cat-power-ruin-the-dolls-strings-remix/

I heard it once and i wasn't very impressed.

Sounds like another fan-made mix like the "Manhattan" and "Cherokee" mixes. None of which are any good, IMO.

**Cokelike** Mon 28 Jan - 1:46

Seems like this could be an official remix.

Cat Power - "Manhattan (Ryan Hemsworth Remix feat. Angel Haze)"

**Nicolaoua** Mon 28 Jan - 8:19

It sounds pointless to my ears. I don't hear any magic here but that's not the kind of stuff i'm listening to usually.

**Nicolaoua** Mon 28 Jan - 17:47

Now it is official:

http://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/14841-manhattan-ryan-hemsworth-remix-ft-angel-haze/ pitchfork gives a Best New Track designation to the new "Manhattan" remix with Angel Haze.

Looking forward to reports of the CP/Angel Haze show at Terminal 5 last night...

Hi, welcome aboard! thumbs up

What do you think of this remix? Honestly i'm puzzled by these excellent comments everywhere. This is not the kind of music i'm listening to usually and this track has no real effect on me. The point is: i don't know what to think of it.

newgodflow Wed 30 Jan - 21:36

glad to discover this place !!!

I do like the remix, although the big, radio-friendly beats aren't 100% my type of thing. I could see it being played on a pop/hip-hop radio, though, which would be cool. More of a novelty, really. As far as remixes go, I am partial to the Nicolas Jaar Cherokee remix.

Holy crap, i discover only now that this symbol is in fact a "c" and a "p" glued together and of course it means Cat Power. SUN - 2012 - Page 7 CAAO8XFQ

Right, I noticed that after a while. But it is actually a rune as well. Especially when shown the way it is here, slightly off-center.

Kinda hilarious that you just realized this....

**Nicolaoua** Thu 31 Jan - 8:14

Have you read Edgar Poe's "The stolen letter"? It's the same: hidden in plain sight. Sometime the most obvious is the least obvious. I read greek and this symbol looks so much like a phi letter that i couldn't see anything else.

Sab Thu 31 Jan - 14:02

J'avais lu un commentaire à ce sujet sur instagram il y a qqes mois, mais sans cela, je n'aurais jamais fait le rapprochement si ça peux te rassurer...

Ryan Hemsworth: “When you’re making stuff on a computer with beat grids and the same synths that everyone else has, it’s really good to challenge yourself in every possible way. Making a Cat Power track with Angel Haze vocals, without making it sound weird, was a fun challenge. I just wanted to give them a warm, open space to kind of sensually backhand whoever it is they’re talking about in the song.”
