No

some sort or article about a town in america with the local phone prefix of 666
and how they wanted it to be taken away
You have 5 marbles
It represents the number of years since Cat Power made a decent record. Amirite?

1
signifying the loving union of me and cat which will forever be once we meet (and i handcuff myself refusing to unlock said handcuffs unless she agrees to marriage, kids and binding contract guaranteeing eternal love for one another)
50
the amount in pence you paid for In Rainbows

representing mans fruits of desire, the seeds from which one would like to sow on cat powers fertile fields (or not)?
136
It's the number of Son of My Father by Racey in the jukey in my local
gah

69
Represents: wishful thinking
1
Cause i'd give her one
8
An infinity sign, turned-round on its end.
CP (nee CM) epitomizes the life-affirming tension between artistic beauty and genuine human awkwardness. She isn't afraid to admit that life if f-ing difficult--that transparency comes with tribulation.
She is likeable, yet loathable; talented, yet testy; open, yet reserved.
I love to hate her, and I hate to love her.
She personifies the ever-evolving cycle of Giving and Retreating.
She is my favorite.
There are no marbles in your jar
The number represents the overwhelming emptiness of being.
Pics plz.

I LOVE BRITNEY
15
the age you will be on your next birthday kharas :-)
enough
marbles to melt them down and build a giant marble bridge between cat power and me. 780,000 marbles, perhaps?
three
two of them to represent the loves in your life that 'got away'. One to represent the bitch you cut up and ate....
9
Representing the nine lives a cat has.
Yeaaaaaaah, I struggled with this.
2
big 'uns, made of stone, which you'll need to keep pimping Chan Marshall's heart-shaped ass out to the indie public.
RstJ
7
But i reckon that you feel you don't have enough marbles in your jar, to represent a sense of inner loathing.
Or
you might have 8, which you reckon is sufficient for a high-class marble collector.

Brit award nomination
21
As that's the date the album is released, and it's also Cat Power's b day??! Happy Birthday Chan!
Ok, last guess....
is it 2 as it's her second covers album???? I'd really really like to win the posters!!
12
Number of tracks on the new album. Also: drummers drumming, months in a year, pence in a shilling, stars on the European flag, number of men to have walked on the moon, average number of ribs in a human body, Shakespeare's 'Twelfth Night', and the musical stylings of D12.
Unless you include the bonus CD, in which case it's 17. I don't have any 17 facts.
221?
You know, like the A-Minor chord on a guitar tab. Chan seems to use it quite often.
