SNL Audition? What Can’t Chan Marshall Do? Oh Yeah… Take Care of Herself… (Just Kidding, Cattie! I’ll Buy Ya a Snickers Bar!)

Chan Marshall recently told the New York Times that she is planning to audition for Saturday Night Live. She looks like she has the power to play a driving cat to me!

"Honey, you won't believe it! Chan can drive a car!"

"What? Really?"

"See, I told you she could drive!"

"Chan! Lookout!"

CRASH!!!

"I Thought you said she could drive?"

"Well I thought she could, I saw her messing around with the steering wheel and I guess I just assumed she could drive..."

"It's okay honey, anybody would think that"

"Hey look, there she goes again."

"I guess she can drive!"

"Yeah, just not very well..."

CRASH!!!

Aww... she broke Matador's leg.

Well, now our lovable Chan is back on track, no longer chasing spirits with sage. She is already done with her next album, Sun, which will feature a few James Brown and Billie Holliday covers. Oh, and Matador Records is planning to re-release The Greatest with a new cover! YES I LOVE TO LOOK AT NEW THINGS!!! She has also received an offer to star in the first English project by Hong Kong-based director Wong Kar-wai. The flick's called My Blueberry Nights and she would be playing Jude Law's ex-lover. Apparently, Kar-wai makes the whole cast listen to The Greatest before shooting it. Sweet. I heard they did the same thing for Open Season. Looks like things are looking up for Cat Power!
