* [[NamesTheSame Name's The Same]]: Cat Power shares her name with a wrestler.
* ThrowItIn: According to ''Moon Pix'''s engineer Matt Voigt ([[http://www.messandnoise.com/articles/10560 again]]), the echo added to the drums on "Cross Bones Style" was meant to cover up egregious timing mistakes - Marshall recorded the guitars first without a click-track, requiring the drummer to play along as best as he could.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Marshall auditioned to be in the cast for SaturdayNightLive!
** ''Sun'' originally consisted of songs that were similar to her old sound. When a friend pointed it out, Marshall scrapped the recordings because she didn't want to sound like "sad Cat Power".
