*I `know´ her differently, meaning on instagram she´s always rEAlly busy with all the troubles of the world ~~ not too long ago i didn´t even know (that) she was a singer / musician ++*
I relate to her in so many ways. I have a problem communicating also. I get nervous when I'm asked questions most of the time and it's like all of my thoughts are blocked. This makes my explanations incomplete. I usually end up not making a point and finishing early because of nerves. Speaking like this does not mean someone is stupid, for anyone thinking that. I think that's something that's widely misunderstood especially these days. We're so used to watching people on tv and hearing someone criticize every word or strange movement or how someone looks that we forget we're talking to another human. I think this creates false ideas in people's minds about what makes a person worthy of our respect and attention and we're not able to interact with someone without having expectations. We can't seem to truly listen to someone without judging unimportant and superficial aspects of the situation. I understood what she meant. She couldn't have submitted that as a class paper and passed but that's not the point. She was speaking from the heart and didn't try to fabricate. Most celebrities I see interviewed are trying to have perfect answers and say what people want to hear. It's sounds rehearsed.
I completely get what you're saying, I have the same issues when I'm asked questions or when attempting to convey feelings through words. For me it feels like I go in circles. I get too caught up in trying to express what I'm feeling or thinking, as I fail to do so the anxiety builds and eventually the conversation comes to an awkward end, furthering the anxiety building inside of me. It's only become worse as I age, to a point where I don't socialize outside of work and only really hang out with my family. I don't mind it at all. I was extremely social in my late teens and twenties. After some serious addiction issues and finally getting sober I found that my mind was not what it once was (as to be expected). My social skills went out the window causing me to have horrible social anxiety. It's gotten better with years of therapy but it still lingers, catching me off guard at the most awkward moments. It doesn't help that I also have a.d.d. but I manage to function in society enough to get me by.
you shouldn´t care about that, those who find flaws on every second of a video or everything told perfectelly for the ones who cares about anything but the content of a message ,they are the ones who are frustrated with their shallow lifes and in this new kind of t.v. shows where the questions are not worth to be answered ,when you say it sounds rehearsed ,it´s worst than that there´s a earlier number of questions that are made previously and the answers are already made days before the recording of the show ,and it sounds fake not a real interview ,just a t.v. apearance with no value or interesting content, sad to see that they are increasing this kind of shows and people who made them don´t have any value as human beings, this reflects the ignorance of the people ,if they weren´t seen ,they wouldn´t exist .So, real people don´t even loose a minut of their lives to see this type of show, there are t.v. channels with better contents and real interviews about real matters,sadly this matters do exist and mainstream t.v. don´t even talk about them, if the world ends they wouldn´t notice, regards
We love you Chan. You're so real. We know you struggle. But I admire it. If that makes sense. Not to trivialize your pain. It's just you turn it into art, and it touches many of us.
Hello everybody! I am not a great cat power's fan; I listen to some of her songs in the 00's and remember one of my High school teacher had in her bag one cd of her. Ten years later i'm here because i listen some of her songs in loop in these days. I love youtube's comment section so i read It everytime and the people writing comments below cat's videos are great. All of you shy intelligent and sensitive people don't be afraid, you're not alone, you are precious
Thank you for this upload. I'm impressed by the great courage Chan Marshall displayed by even agreeing to an interview, considering the anxiety issues she had to deal with then (and now, perhaps). Even in those moments where she was struggling to express her thoughts through a haze of nervousness, her general meaning came though to me clearly, as did her enthusiasm for life and compassion for people (particularly while speaking about the inspiration behind "Crossbones Style"). She is such a sweet woman and talented artist.
@@iairon7609 see ,that´s what we call living ,those songs are a way of her releasing some frustrations or melancolic thoughts that are normal on a human being, empathy is what we feel sometimes when we hear those songs, makes part of life ,only a retarted person don´t feel sadness
why r so many people complainin about her "incoherence"?she's lying down her thoughts before us, thinking loudly. usually in our head things aren't always straight a or straight b. while thinking and telling,she is putting into perspective, questioning, critizing what she says. that may seem like uncertainty, but for me, even if there is some nervousness here, it is mainly what I call thinking. she has a real interior dialogue in herself and she is expressing it. so sensible, and so philosophic!
I understand her perfectly,my mind kinda wanders,just like hers.I can see behind her walls.She just wants to please,to understand,and be understood.Her thoughts are caring and pure.
I always loved this interview. She looks like she's about 13-15 (she was in her late 20s) and there's a lot of really intelligent things coming out of her mouth. Makes her appear wise beyond her years. And even though she seems a little shy and awkward (especially the thing with her hair in her face) she also seems to be very confident in what she's saying.
I'm positive this was actually from 1998. I remember I recorded it myself the night it was on and I know it was late Sept. or early Oct. '98. Not trying to be a jerk. :) Thanks for posting!
I have a hard time explaining things also speaking louder because I'm so quiet I guess I'm still just really shy and nervous but then I'm also not at the same time. Its odd I'm odd. I love her album Sun first introduction into cat power shes awesome!
the clips used are from her show on the horseshoe tavern in Toronto Canada 1999, and I'm dying to find that show, so far I haven't found a single video of it save for this interview
To me, her music is intensely spiritual. In some way, she also makes me think of a female Jesus. Maybe Jesus's sister. I hope that doesn't offend anyone or make me seem crazy.
I came here right after the 'Kids Songs with Cat Power' video, which makes both videos a lot funnier. I actually really like her incoherent, stream-of-consciousness style communication, because I can kind of relate to it. Chan is a little fucked up, she's very unique and she makes good music - which is a great combination for a music artist. Well, at least for the listeners.
well my friend there is such a thing as compression that happens when you take a VHS file and compress it for UA-cam + throw in that this wasn't a 1st generation VHS copy...
not every video that´s the recording of a t.v show(looks like a radio show) on a vcr,not professional betamax used in those days by most of t.v channels
Alcohol is one hell of a drug. Fortunately Chan Marshall could rely on her incredible musical gifts and of course her supermodel beauty to stay one step ahead of the bottle for a while. Unfortunately the vast majority of us do not possess Chan Marshall level qualities, thus we are slowly transformed into apathetic non-humans with our metal hearts. We are taught as children to believe in the meaning of all the bad dreaming, only to be enveloped and overwhelmed by a reality that is controlled by Demons.
I don't need to "find God". God is inside me and any other human being that tries to fight the good fight. That does not change the fact that we must live every day in this 5-sense reality that is controlled by the Demon Pigs. Until those of us that call ourselves "Christians" wake up and take action against the obvious Demon Pigs, they will continue their manipulation and consolidation of our world's natural resources, monetary supply, governments, courts, healthcare, big pharma, media, advertising, enterntainment, etc.
Narniak69 Your comment has some artistic elements, even though you borrewed Cat's words.So maby you can search your qualities and don't let your self transform into that horrible thing you descgribed with Cat' s words. There is no life with no demons and no neurosis.
pretty sure it's a very loose interpretation of "dreams" by fleetwood mac. i hear something about "crystal visions" and she covered that song in 1998: ua-cam.com/video/CQoE10BW9d4/v-deo.html
people who don´t care about unreal problems and are happy with what they have ,don´t age fast ,like todays youth is worried of being skinny,and with the years their bodies start to die ,and when 30 they look 50, when i was 40 my hair was strong and complete didn´t have loss of large amounts of hair ,i do eat, drink, make sports ,work in improving my house ,do not contract workers when my house needs to be painted or restore some doors or windows that are made of wood not aluminium and they need some care to endure the passage of time ,this makes a person active not passive and worried if in a few years they get older, and old in our society should mean that you had a long life and full filled with real pleasures ,not being young(when i say young i meant 16) and already worried when they become a 40 year old human being ,like no pleasures happen to those who are not young, sad is to see a brazilian beautyfull girl die of starvation at 16 because her body will change in two or three years, and having lot´s of money in these days it´s not normal to die of starvation, regards (sorry if my english is confusing but it´s not my first language)
you see, some people have a hard time..you know..that thing when people wanna..i mean, i guess what i am trying to say is...when it comes to communicating I'm not..i'm not..LISTEN TO THE DAMN MUSIC
meh, she express's herself with music and that's enough. Even if she made perfect sense it'd still be as meaningless as any subjective statement. It might be worse because it would leave you with the illusion that you understood.
Cat Power is amazing. She is so original. I grew up listening to her. Her voice is haunting in the best way possible.

i have your same problem, its called social anxiety..check the simptoms on wikipedia :)
The General's Videos Exactly, it's called ADD. Spoken from experience.
wikipedia isn´t a relyable source everybody can writte on it, better check out a medical site,not north american

She's 27 years old in this interview! She looks like a teenager
+koko40800 I thought the same thing and I love how it looks in this interview
27 was a good year...the best
not that much
Just thinking the same
She is too lovely!😊
Swooon...my gosh, she was so incredibly gorgeous and dreamy. My favorite era of Chan

And she's a good person in real life. Total human rights activist.

cutest female singer of our time.

90's Chan Marshall, I love you, I want to watch cartoons with you

Sook-Yin Lee is a great interviewer. She did many interviews with Radiohead, including "Kid A Lives" documentary, check it out.
the clips used are from her show on the horseshoe tavern in Toronto Canada 1999, and I'm dying to find that show, so far I haven't found a single video of it save for this interview
Jim from Dirty Three, Xylouris White, Boxhead Ensemble.......on drums.
oooh my God!!! she's a little girl in this video... she so beautiful and wonderfull
+Gerardo Bp She might look like a little girl but she still would have been about 30 in this video.
+Rinzler .exe 27
Mish D "About"
exactly!!! 27 years old, but she likes a teen ager!!!
beautiful creature
Love this woman!!!
She is exactly the type of girl I like.
same
Wow. Did she grow as a performer.
To me, her music is intensely spiritual. In some way, she also makes me think of a female Jesus. Maybe Jesus's sister. I hope that doesn't offend anyone or make me seem crazy.
what?offend who?just yourself, regards
Very underrated. She is very special!
I feel like she didn't realize that everyone actually got what she was tryna say, even though she couldn't find the words at the time
If songs were lines in conversation...the situation would be fine

marc moore! i love this era miss that noodle 98 berkeley
Never heard of them. I think. They're very good. In 1999. Hope they're okay. Now.
oh my god i could look at that face for the rest of my life, soooooo cute!
wonderful human being
Chan and I once hung and talked about people faking lisps because they're lazy. I love her.
such a smart girl wow
has trouble communicating but yeah lol
pretty sure it's a Danelectro guitar
I'm trying to find some bootlegs from this era, but i just can't find it😢😢😢
thumbnail makes it look like she has a dope ass eye scar like sub-zero
She looked,so pretty back then!
if you see older photos or videos she doesn´t look that good , that´s what happen when life is running good for you.
She just celebrated her 50, and still so pretty, as she always been!
0:13 looks like Colm Meaney on drums.
I think its the drummer from the dirty 3, jim white is his name, if my memory serves..
I honestly don't remember video quality being this bad in 1999... I guess you never realize how bad it is until you have something to compare it to.
well my friend there is such a thing as compression that happens when you take a VHS file and compress it for UA-cam + throw in that this wasn't a 1st generation VHS copy...

Hey, do you guys know who the interviewer is? she interviews so many cool people.
Also I love Cat Power with a passion
Chan is an angel! But was this video edited by Anthony Fantano?!

She looks a bit like Ellen Page this young. Ironically she is one of Ellen Page's favorite artists.
you are loved Chan
It's hard to know what's happening.
beautiful
She's covering Moby Grape!!
shes playing a silvertone..she still plays it.
she's so cool
greatest
Cat power🤗
loved this
in 1:07 she sounds like Zukofsky or some other objetivist (=
Oh Chan... You're too sweet
shes a legend
Could someone tell me the name of the song at 6:34?

I had such a huge crush on her back then lol
hey shawn. why not shades instead of peeka bangs.
Aw❤
I Love Cat Power
surprised to hear a moby grape cover!
Julian Casablancas looks really young here.
god im obsessed
she was a big FlatDuo jets fan....so yeah, played the Silvertone because he did.....and even admitted that
i want her to be my roommate for eternity
i got a thing for tomboyish girls
You're not alone.
whats the song she is singing at the start?
wild is the wind
I loose my heart when i siiu
she looks like ellen page here in JUNO!
have you seen tracey fragments? ellen page looks alot more like cat power in that movie than Juno.
I think am in love
So cute
Esta buena ahi
She's tripping, it seems. And adorable.
I seriously think just like her

you are free
Yep. Sure is.
Weird 90s editing. Chan is adorably awkward here.
MuchMusic/Toronto editing at its MuchMusiciest. A generation or two of Canadians were raised on this style of editing. It seems normal to us.
is her nose bleeding
like such as in South Africa and the Iraq everywhere like such as
what's the name of the first song?
naked if i want to - ok
she is so hot ,
charming
i have pet black cat listen to this song by band catpowe
She looks nervous. If that's the case then she did a good job I think.
She's always nervous in interviews. It's charming
I talk exactly like this
Holly ADD batman!
is that sarcastic?
meh, she express's herself with music and that's enough. Even if she made perfect sense it'd still be as meaningless as any subjective statement. It might be worse because it would leave you with the illusion that you understood.
