Got to see two American geniuses in Belgium over the weekend - Cat Power in

Brussels and Sufjan Stevens in Ghent. Not together you understand, thatd be too

much to take in at one gig. Chan Marshall who is Cat Power was on top form, her

voice just immaculate. She has such a presence, on record and onstage. And her

band were incredible. Sufjan was onstage wearing wings. Big, wavy, bird wings.

His songs are ridiculously explosive, again with a brilliant band behind him and

simply gorgeous songs.

Special my friends, special:)
