Catpower singing Bob

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1Ic2-N8Vo0

What an amazing version of an amazing song. When I was 19 or 20 I went through a short phase of wanting to be a music-journalist. I tried to work for a local radiostation but was way too shy to talk to the musicians. Catpower was one of the artists I interviewed. She thought she was being interviewed by someone who was just 14 or so ( I looked quite young for my age). I thought she was a little weird (she was probably just drunk and jetlagged) But know if I listen to this song I can't that's the same woman I sat opposite from and tried to have a conversation with. What a fantastic version of this Bob song. But I'm also a big fan of her own work.
