solace Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 it's definitely an insanely tongue-in-cheek cover, but it amuses me... a cougar on the hood of a cougar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Littlebear Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Yea, pretty amatur.....I would guess you could do better... LouieB The thing is: behind the amateur aspect, there's real taste going on The white background looks superb to me. There's a sense of aesthetic here. The words "Neko Case" written differently would have made a different effect. There's the notion that you have to take risks, and to "try things". It's part of the aesthetics, and I couldn't be more serious! Of course Neko is just a musician with taste in art, but that's something already. There are tons of awful cover arts in the music world that nobody seems to notice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wendy Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2009...eko_case_m.html From Brooklyn Vegan: MP3 song to download - "People Got a Lot of Nerve" Re-post it on your blog and ANTI (Neko's label) will donate money to Best Friends Animal Society. Today, we are especially happy to bring you "People Got A Lotta Nerve," the first single from Neko Case's forthcoming album Middle Cyclone (out March 3), because for every blog that reposts the song and/or iLike user who adds it to their profile, Neko Case and ANTI- will make a cash donation to Best Friends Animal Society. The promotion will run from January 13 to February 3, 2009. Five dollars will be donated for every blog post and one dollar for every user of iLike that adds the song to his/her profile. And in other news, a tour must be close to being announced - I got news from The Pabst email list that Neko will be performing at The Pabst in Milwaukee on Saturday, April 25th - reserved seats - $22.50. Now that would be a sweet weekend show! Middle Cyclone (due March 3, 2009)1. This Tornado Loves You2. The Next Time You Say "Forever"3. People Got A Lotta Nerve4. Polar Nettles5.

TheMaker Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Wow, judging from the EPK, this one might give Blacklisted a run for its money. Not too wild about the single (which has been on MySpace for about a week, btw), but it's a far cry from terrible. (And from one artist to the ether, that cover is fantastic!)

lost highway Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Does anyone else find it pretty hot to hear Neko sing "I'm a man eater." I know she might be talking about a whale, but I just keep picturing her, with that sword. Yeesh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
