I like both versions of Metal Heart, but what I love is how she continually reworks her material. The version of The Greatest that opened the Sun shows was astonishing, turning it from a wistful sentiment to an indictment.

Oh I was thinking about Metal Heart yesterday! Weirdly I think what really helped me love both versions was this dubstep rmx (!!) which couldn't find space to exist on the sharper angles of the original I think?

Also I feel like it's good that MH has kinda settled as the default Cat Power song! It's pretty representative and pretty great.
I like LL's post, about being older, I hadn't thought much about that and it's true.
