A gal's bound to run out of quarters to pump into the Jukebox eventually. When that happens, it's time to start singing for crowds larger than just whoever shows up at the local diner.

Cat Power and her Dirty Delta Blues band will bring their covers extravaganza out on tour in late January and early February. Expect plenty of selections from their forthcoming Jukebox LP, due January 22 from Matador. And since this is a tour for a covers record, the ban on yelling extra hard for "Freebird" has been temporarily lifted.

Chan's overseas charity project is currently underway, as she recently checked in on her MySpace blog from Bangalore, India to decry the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, the former Prime Minister of Pakistan.
