From Bumbershoot and beyond, we've heard Neko Case do Middle Cyclone tracks live on a number of occasions. She's hit so many radio station affiliates and late-night television shows that it could be construed as overkill, but she really does sounds great live, so why not? Proving the case again, Case dropped by Oregon Public Radio and offered up lovely, pristine, stripped-down renditions of "Don't Forget Me," "Middle Cyclone," and "People Got A Lotta Nerve." Unfortunately, there was no sign of Triumph, though sure, it was quietly triumphant. Hear the tunes and an interview that touches on cyclones, cows, and pianos over at opbmusic.org.
