learning cat power

i've been taking piano lessons for about a month now and i feel really good about it. my teacher is young, kinda cute, but mostly very, very nice. he's actually in a local band called torngat. i've never seen them live, but have heard nothing but positive things about them in the past. mathieu lent me an ep and an lp that they have recorded and it's all very good. i'm kinda proud that he's my teacher now. so i've had 4 lessons and already we've been passing each other cds back and forth. he really likes this one musician, gonzales (who also produced feist's first lp). and most importantly, he made me discover tom waits. no, i didn't know tom waits. shame on me. and then two days ago i brought a cat power cd and he made me learn the first 4 keys (which are basically repeated throughout the song, if only for a bridge in the middle). it makes me feel good to be able to play cat power. that's all. give me news.

stat!
