People Got A Lotta Nerve
Ahh, another day, another airport departure lounge — today folks, we’ve got Kuala Lumpur in the den with the candlestick (cuz it’s Halal) on the way to Hong Kong.
Thought I’d take this opportunity to post one of my favorite new songs. It’s the latest from Neko Case, the first single off her latest 2009 CD, Middle Cyclone.
Despite her incredible talent and having been on the scene for the last 10-odd years, until recently, she still remained somewhat of a cult favorite. Indeed, Middle Cyclone is her first album to reach the Top 10 on the US Billboard Charts. Take a listen, it’s pretty good shit.
Great recommend Matt. I enjoyed it and it will wend its way onto my iPod.
So you gonna see Osc in the Orient? Wish I could make it out to some faraway surf with you but not in the near cards.
Hope you’re well brudda.
Mikey!!! Hey, whassup kid? Yah, I’m good, thanks. Hope you are too. And yeah, I’m at O’s place in Hong Kong right now (got here yesterday). It’s been 2 years already, can you believe it?
As always, you’ve got a place in Indo if you ever have time to make the trip. We’ll do the rounds … maybe even Nias, huh?
Saw her in concert 2 years ago at the Mann Music Center. She was great. Also check out PJ Harvey if you like Nekko Case. And don’t forget to check out Fleet Foxes. Saw a great local band at a fundraiser for Musicians on call to local hospitals last night called Slomo. There is still some great music coming out of Philly.
And back in Philly, Law firms are crumbling like Insurance firms. Wolf Block just imploded. Sounds like you made the right move. Stay happy kid.
I love your taste in music. She rules. Maybe, you might like some Fleet Foxes?
Omg, I must say this is truly owning… Thanks for giving such a nice read, you made my day.
