New Neko Case - "People Got A Lot Of Nerve"
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.)

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.

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."
