Cat Power - New York (live at Jools Holland)
I have the new Cat Power CD "Jukebox". It's all covers like the video I posted, to Janis Joplin, Hank Williams, Billie Holiday, etc. But the most surprising thing about the CD is the version of "Angelitos Negros" (little black angels), wich is a very famous poem by a very famous venezuelan poet and politician named Andrés Eloy Blanco. It was truly an amazing surprise to find this song in Cat's CD, specially because of what it represents, it's kind of a long story to tell but it talks about the slaves during the spanish colonization here, really a beautiful song.
In other topics, I haven't seen The L Word's season finale yet, so I don't think I will visit the blogs today so I don't see any spoilers. It's taken forever to download because I guess everybody it's doing the same thing, so the servers must be very busy. I will see it tonight though...I hope.

E, I'm not familiar with Cat Power. Would be great to hear how she covers Angelitos Negros.
