Cat Power has announced that she will release an EP of cover songs this December.

At 50 years old, Nick Cave is showing zero signs of slowing down. Last year he took a detour from his day job as leader of the Bad Seeds to make one of the more rollicking and libidinous albums of the year (Grinderman). He and his Seeds are back this year with the excellent Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!!

The Black Keys, Cat Power, Sheryl Crow and Sun Volt are among the bands performing at a tribute to folk pioneer Woody Guthrie and American author John Steinbeck.

Cat Power brought the first day (July 11) of the 2008 Oxegen Festival to close with an enigmatic performance on the Pet Sounds Stage.
