The last time I saw Cat Power perform was the first and only time I saw the entire Trocadero fall in love at once. Her voice and her persona could only be described as haunting yet powerful. Some people showed in the hopes that she'd fall apart, as she has been wont to do, but a lot happens in a decade. Much more centered by the time The Greatest dropped, Chan Marshall prowled the stage like a sexy animal that was caged no longer.

OK, we'll admit, the title of this post is deliberately sensationalistic, but every part of it is true, in one way or another. Anyway, it got your attention, right?

We love it because some of our favorite pieces of his work, including , were published while he lived there. We love it because it means we can claim Poe as a native son. And we love it for being completely empty. (So! Creepy!)

Edward Pettit wrote an enlightening cover story for this week's edition of the City Paper, proposing the relocation of Edgar Allan Poe's grave site to our fine city.

As part of the Music and Conversation series, Andrea Ceccomori and Elitza Harbova will perform and discuss works for flute and piano by living Italian and American composers.

This Phillyist has a special place in her heart for Kweller, whose last CD, specifically the song "My Apartment," got her through a break-up and two moves. We're a little sad he chose Brooklyn over Philly for his three-night stint, during which he'll play his three records in their entirety, one each night.

Finished within the last year, this newly-landscaped part of Fairmount Park lies between the Waterworks Restaurant and the Spring Garden Street Bridge, from which the photo was taken.

Phillyist reader The High Strung Loner sent us the above picture. Knowing that no explanation was necessary for this one, he didn't leave one. Only a location. "Front and Spring Garden."

, which was even better.) You can't tell from the picture, but the arrows are actually pointing to the back of the building. (Get it? Entrance in the rear?)
