Music news Cat Power @ the Earl, July 12. Tickets on sale Friday morning

The ever-elusive Cat Power is scheduled to perform at the Earl's tenth anniversary celebration on on Sun., July 12. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Fri., June 12 at ticketalternative.com.
Read Chad Radford's recent interview with Elizabeth Goodman, whose unauthorized biography Cat Power A Good Woman was released in April. In the interview, Goodman talks about her own struggle to come to terms with Chan Marshall's resistance to the biography and how writing the introduction after she'd completed the book allowed her to put things in perspective:
It goes without saying that it troubled me that she was as upset by this as she was, and one of the things that concerned me when I first wrote the introduction was that people were going to think that there was this really wild and scathing story being told here, and there isn’t. This is the story of what happened to me when I was writing this book, but I don’t want people to think it’s some sort of expose of the secret dark side of this artist. The book is the biography that I researched and reported with the interviews that I was able to get by going to Atlanta and South Carolina and being here in New York. That’s the story. If people are expecting a dark and aggressively exploitative telling of her tale, they’re going to be disappointed. The thing that I wonder about most is what it is that she really finds so threatening about what’s now in print and in book stores.
Read the entire interview.
