Neko Case

I'm sad to see so many of the classic music threads dissapeared. Here is one back in honor of mjk. The new album [*middle cyclone] sounds so good with snow on the ground.

Come back, mjk!

I didn't realize Neko owned the Cougar on the cover of that record -- being an old Mercury fan, I wished she had used one of these:

The snow is about gone here, but it's still goddamn cold, and I'm going to spin that record later. It's kinda nice to let the evening's listening choices be dictated by the forum sometimes.

Creepy, I was actually posting the same exact thing, then got distracted about 10 mins ago. I accidentally hit refresh, and I saw this thread appear and though "oh, I guess I did submit it"

But I didn't.

Weird.

Yep.

Or maybe,

"Does anybody else find this weird? I mean, we're looking down on Wayne's basement. Only...that's not Wayne's basement"

I meant new album as in "the newest album." Sorry if I got your hopes up.

Lay down boy, I'll scratch your belly.

I wish I had 1/10 of Neko's cool.

BH got all of our hopes up, but has anyone heard whispers about her next album?

ALady · Jan 14, 2011, 08:29 PM

I would say you have at least 3/5 of her cool.

(It'd be a higher ratio but she's pretty damn cool.)

A young punk rock Neko Case with a cardboard cutout of Reagan.

mjk73 · Jul 28, 2011, 08:21 PM

Damn, she was even hot with the riot grrrrrrrl look.

Agreed, I would've been in love during my teenage punk years as well as now.

Where's the best place to start for exploring her repertoire? Looks like she has a pretty extensive discography, and I'm mainly looking to familiarize myself with her music before seeing her open for the dudes.

Being that I trust you folks mostest for these sorts of things, I'd appreciate any guidance!

:dankk2:

Blacklisted is my favorite, followed closely by Fox Confessor Brings the Flood. Middle Cyclone would be a good one to check into as well, since that is her most recent release and she'll probably be playing a lot of songs from that. The only one to avoid would be The Vrginian, you can't go wrong with any of her other albums.

What he said. The Tigers Have Spoken is a great live album. If you can get it, check out Canadian Amp. Very good EP. She does have 1 DVD from the ACL series. It's really good and worth checking out.
