There’s been some new songs live, some not-at-all suggestive album art, and even a making-of-the-record video, so having some actual studio music to hear from the Middle Cyclone sessions is pretty swell. The relaxed and playful, Nashville pop-styled tune is titled “People Got A Lot Of Nerve,” and the people she’s talking about are you chumps who are surprised that she’s a maneater. I have extrapolated this from when she repeatedly sings “I’m a man-man-man-man-man-maneater, still you’re surprised-prised-prised, when I eat ya.” I have great interpretive skills, don’t worry about it. (Also it is impossible not to add ‘watch out boy she’ll chew you up’ in this post, although I really tried.)
For every blog that reposts this song through 2/3, Neko and ANTI- will make a cash donation to the wonderful animal rescue nonprofit Best Friends Animal Society. Details here.
Mark your calendar for 3/3 to buy Middle Cyclone which will come via ANTI-.

I really like that.
Wow! I’m surprised by how much i like it. Can’t wait for this album. The cover is awesome.
Can’t wait for this. Girl can do no wrong as far as I’m concerned.
fantastic
She played this song at ACL this year, It was really good. She joked about how it was about a killer whale attack or something, It sounds a little different recorded… but maybe because ACL was so long ago I don’t remember how it sounded then.
I’m fairly positive that this album is going to rule my life.
Good track and great cause. I knew Neko was an animal lover and it makes me love her more, if that’s at all possible.
awww….it’s a big lazy doggy
I just, illegally, got the the new record. Honestly, with no hesitation, best one yet, my call for album of the year.
The CBC Radio 3 session podcast featured Neko Case on March 4. Link: http://www.cbc.ca/radio3/podcasts/sessions/CBCR3Sessions_2009-03-04.mp3
I really like the version of this song in the podcast (it’s the first one she plays).
Neko: “This next song is called People got a lot of nerve. Um, picture elephants and killer whales in a jeep on a killing spree. Here we go. Woo. They’re four-wheelin, they got rifles. Let’s do it.”
