She’s a Maneater

Neko-Case3

Neko love isn't hard to come by 'round these parts. Her music is one of those rare finds that melds perfectly with my own soul. The kind of music I would wish for should someone put a soundtrack to my life.

Beautiful gig posters to boot. My oh my. So, just when I thought she couldn't get any more perfect in my mind, she went and had to be the guest programmer on TCM! Seriously? Seriously.

Neko, I love you. I love your black hat. I love Middle Cyclone. And I think we should be friends.

  1. Oh wow, thank you for sharing this lovely artist with the world. :) I love her name, “Neko”. (Means “cat”.) And I love the music video. It’s got soul, beautiful, beautiful soul.

    Dearest Mandi,
    I read your blog everyday but rarely take the time to leave you a comment. I just can’t help myself today. I have a love for Neko that goes beyond reason. Seriously. The woman blows my mind. I’ve always known there were others like me but it is really fun to discover who they are…especially when you already think they’re pretty cool. Happy listening! You might also really enjoy The New Pornographers (my cousin’s band that she shares lead vocals in) and The Corn Sisters (Neko Case and Carolyn Mark just generally being awesome soul sisters).

    Ahh. Totally love her. Haven’t listened before today so thanks for writing about her! Right now it’s “Runnin’ Out of Fools”. So emotional.

    I, like many Adore Neko Case. She’s fabulous, her music is fabulous, her other bands are fabulous (like the New Pornographers which she sometimes sings with). I think she has a magic touch.

    Oh my god, I adore Neko so much. I got really excited when I saw your post in Google Reader, because, for a second, I thought maybe she had a new album out or something. But no matter: seeing her and that concert poster and the awesome video is just as good (for now)! :)
    If you guys become friends, will you please invite me for some old-movie watching? :)
