resolved: Neko Case is a goddess, where as the rest of us [meaning everyone else, alive and dead], are mere mortals. well, everyone except the dead ones. but they were mere mortals, when they were around. unless they're now zombies, which means that they're still around. still, i think we can all agree that zombies are not goddesses. but i digress. now, you may prefer her New Pornographers stuff. or perhaps her particular blend of saucy magic isn't your cup of tea. but please, people, you just can't argue with the facts. namely, that a) this woman has the power of a trillion thunderbolts from Zeus himself harnessed in one beautiful voice, and b) not only does she have the gift, but she knows how to use it. her show - April 4th @ Club Soda - was pretty humbling. everyone had mad skills. her entire band. anyone know her backup singer's name? i hope so, 'cause I'm naming my firstborn after her. anyway. it's only a minute of footage, but it's enough to get a taste of her sonic scrumptiousness. click here [or on the image above], to take a look. don't say I never give you anything. *note: The High Dials were also superb. unfortunately, their amps were a little too potent for my sensitive camera. next time, guys. tags: neko case, zombies
