Blind-Item Poll: Who’s Been Shacking Up With Cat Power?

January 4th, 2007 // 17 Comments

magnetcover.jpgWe’re only now catching up with this month’s Magnet cover story on Cat Power, and though we hate to turn into the indie-rock version of TMZ, we were struck by this quote toward the end of the profile:

Marshall makes no secret about her desire to have children of her own, but she’s slightly less forthcoming about her recent romance with a man in New York, saying only, “He’s English, he’s a poet, and he’s great in bed.”

I happen to guess the name of her latest flame–let’s just say he’s a public figure–but agree to honor the request not to reveal his identity.

If it’s an English poet who’s good in the sack, it’s gotta be Morrissey, right? Wait, why are you laughing?

  1. Ozzy

    Damn you to hell, Andrew Lloyd Webber.

  2. musicquizking

    I say it’s Eagle Eye Cherry.

  3. Nicolars

    Why has no one guessed Lemmy from Motorhead?

  4. mike a

    It’s Terence Trent D’arby, I’m guessing.

  5. Butch Huskey

    poet, English, tantric sex machine = Sting

    all together now …. EWWWWW!

  6. Doctor Lingerie

    I can’t decide between David Gray or the decaying skeleton of Wordsworth. On the other hand, is there really a difference?

  7. Bob Loblaw

    Jarvis + Chan = The Hole in my Heart Left by Ryan Adams and Parker Posey.

  8. rad_matter

    Terence Trent D’arby is now Sananda Maitreya. It can’t be him–he lives in Italy now.

  9. baconfat

    chan’s only 4 years younger than the former heather mills-mccartney…

  10. Mike Barthel

    Every single one of these choices fucking terrifies me. I guess I’d prefer Damon, he can’t actually get any shittier than he already is.

  11. Ned Raggett

    Sting was my first thought too. Now imagine the resultant lute music.

  12. slutsguts

    gimme the lute gimme the lute

  13. Tuffy

    I hold out hope that it’s Cat Stevens.

  14. bedpan

    why can’t it be, like, jude law? (who she’s supposed to be doing that movie with)

  15. blobby

    Hey, hey — Jarvis COCKer…get it, get it?

    Damn that was funny.

  16. Moonshine Mike

    my first choice was lemmy, also.

  17. Amphiuma

    The ghost of Ted Hughes. Sylvia Plath’s having a hissy-fit in heaven…
