Cat Power feat. Judah Bauer – Nothing Compares 2 U – First Avenue, Minneapolis (February 26, 2026)

Cat Power recently posted a video of Nothing Compares 2 U from First Avenue & 7th St Entry, Minneapolis, MN, US (26 February 26, 2026).

nb. Judah Bauer performed on ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’, it’s not known if he performed for the whole set but the review on wheartm.com would suggest he did as they state “Cat Power appeared with a full band (a sextet: vocals, guitar, guitar, stand up & electric bass, keyboards, and drums)”.

“Dear reader, when I say that backing band was tight, I am not even remotely doing them justice. It was critical to the success of the evening and kudos to Cat Power for assembling this powerhouse group.”

Record Store Day info:

Coldcut – Sound Mirrors:

Sound Mirrors, the 2006 studio album from acclaimed duo Coldcut, was quoted as being “one of the most vital and imaginative records Jon Moore and Matt Black have ever made”, and saw the duo “continue, impressively, to find new ways to present political statements through a gamut of pristine electronics and breakbeats” (CITATION: Future Music, 2007). The fascinating array of guest vocalists included Soweto Kinch, Annette Peacock, Ameri Baraka, and Saul Williams. The 20th Anniversary reissue edition comes for Record Store Day 2026 and will feature eco-mix marbled 2LP with a mirror board printed sleeve.

Dallas Good + Richard Reed Parry – ‘Were “The Watchtowers”:

“Dallas Good (of the Sadies) and Richard Reed Parry (of Arcade Fire) had been collaborating on their album Were ‘The Watchtowers’ for over a decade until Dallas Good unexpectedly passed away in 2022. Dallas’ passing inspired Parry to find collaborators to help finish the album, including Neko Case, Buffy Sainte-Marie and Margaret Atwood (author of The Handmaid’s Tale). These are the final recordings of Dallas Good and a testament to his musical legacy. The album will be pressed on limited edition colour vinyl. The final track “Not in This World” features a chorus of Dallas’ friends and fans from around the world singing together on Dallas’ final piece of recorded music, a fan-sourced song that will part of this album exclusively available first at Record Store Day.”
