You know they call them killer whales But you seem surprised When it pinned you down to the bottom of the tank Where you can't turn around It took half your leg and both your lungs And I craved I ate hearts of sharks, I know you know it
...I loathe C&W and don't usually go much on plain C, yet she seems to 'transcend her genre'...
Mr. Churchill was right - two cultures separated by a common language. Thanks for the reflective humility lesson, there are so many things I think I know but really just have a small taste of.
Did the mother change Hawaii for Arizona?? Neko would have been cooler if she had bought her mothers a house in Hawaii! LOL!

Neko Case's mom is a waitress at a diner in our small Hawaiian town. No joke. Neko gave her mom her house in Arizona, which not only makes Neko cooler than she already is ... it also means we lose our favorite waitress!!!
What??? 130 degrees for 6 months straight, surrounded by sand and agave, 400 miles from the nearest ocean isn't better than 80 degrees and 15mph tradewinds blowing from the surrounding ocean?? Hee Hee.

Saw her live in Omaha 10 days ago - great concert! This song is actually available to download/play on Rock Band, my current social entertainment addiction.
This song, with 4 others, is on Neko's MySpace site. I've really liked all her numbers played on RP, which is a bit of a surprise as I loathe C&W and don't usually go much on plain C, yet she seems to 'transcend her genre', as the poncey critics would say. 7 from the Nottingham jury. And isn't it just my luck, she plays in Nottingham on 12th September just when I'll be away at a conference - D'OH!!
Don't be fooled. Genre means nothing. She's neither country nor western, just tinged with it!
Neko was absolutely amazing at Massey Hall on July 14. She was very nervous but did a magnificent job. The onstage banter was amusing as well. I wish I could go all over again. What a night.

Great (suggestive) lyrics from one who I like the more I hear. I think Neko Case made the NP, as I haven't really become smitten by any of their output since she left.
My first "family" car was a '70 Cougar, bright yellow, black leather interior, resplendent with sequential turn signals, flip-up headlight covers, and gas-guzzling engine. It was a looker but a POS when it came to satisfaction and driving experience. Typical of Detroit's (or more properly, Dearborn's) output, which was trumped mightily by the Far East. Lots of memories, though.
Sure like this song.
Those "Far East" cars from that era aren't worth anything (if you can find one running- throw away cars-and they still are). And did I mention... they're still boring today. Compare that with those from the big three from that era. Some are worth millions. Gimmie my Mopars any day.

Hey, I'm pretty sure that's Neko's personal car. She mentions an early Cougar (that she is restoring) in the mini-interview Rolling Stone did on her a couple of issues back.
