neko case was my valentine

I saw Neko Case (pictured above, not really dead, from the cover of her album Furnace Room Lullaby) last night at the Bowery Ballroom and it was the best antidote to Valentine's Day I could have asked for. There were covers of Hank Williams, Buffy Saint Marie, The Shangri-Las, Catherine Irwin, and even a little Bad Company and Blue Oyster Cult, not to mention a staged sapphic double suicide to annoy Dubya. I found myself looking forward to the banter as much as I did the songs. Thanks, NC.
