Head over to AOL’s The Interface for a few live songs from Cat Power, as well as an interview lead by an excited accented woman. The Q&A doesn’t touch on the news, reported by Women’s Wear Daily, that Karl Lagerfeld tapped Chan to be “the new face” of Chanel’s jerwelry line. From WWD:
I was outside waiting, sitting on a pile of Louis Vuitton luggage, drinking water, with an apple and a cigarette in my hand, my cell phone, oh, and two guitars, and out comes Karl. He walks up, looks at me and says, ‘Only a woman can look glamorous when smoking.’ And I lowered my glasses and pointed to [the shadows under my] eyes and said, “With these?”
We’re behind Chan on this one ’cause it’s less of a stretch than her being cast on SNL. But if she really wants it, we hear Lorne is a sucker for models. And Karl swooning for Chan shouldn’t be such a surprise; just take a look at the tracklisting from Lagerfeld’s “At Home” CD Compilation:
Devendra Banhart – “I Feel Just Like A Child”
The Boy Least Likely To – “Be Gentle With Me”
Minotaur Shock – “Vigo Bay”
Lindstrom And Prinz Thomas – “Mighty Girl”
Mayer/Aguayo – “Slow”
LCD Soundsystem – “Too Much Love”
Super Furry Animals – “The Proper Ornaments”
The Pipettes – “Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me”
Black Mountain – “No Satisfaction”
Smokers Die Younger – “Yer Actual”
Electrelane – “Eight Steps”
Xavier Cugat – “Perfidia”
Planningtorock – “I Wanna Bite Ya”
The Fiery Furnaces – “I’m In No Mood”
A Hawk And A Hacksaw – “Romceasca”
Looks like somebody’s down the blogs.

>> Her real name is Chan Marshall, and it’s pronounced like “Shawn.”
Hmm. Good to know if I ever run into her or something.
That accent lady is fucking annoying! “Oh great! John John.” Like she’s ever fucking heard it! A little condescending.
Ummm ..thats Chan… talking to herself…she’s doing both voices
oh dear. she may be sober, but she’s still a bit cracked. that’s kind of comforting, in a way.
wow, I love her speaking voice.
Saw her perform in Paris last week and I’d have to say she’s anything but sober…forgetting the lyrics to her own songs and meandering from beginning to end to middle when storytelling. I was a bit dissapointed.
