Before Part II of the Neko Case show that NPR All Songs Considered broadcasted on Sunday, I just have to say thanks. I’m about 99 percent certain that I set traffic records yesterday in both page views and visitors. I’m not sure if it was that link from Dodge (definitely), the Neko stuff (probably) or my abundant supply of wit and charm (um, yeah, probably not) … either way, thanks for stoppin’ by.
To celebrate, here’s a picture of my cat, Sadie, which has nothing to do with anything, except for maybe that Neko’s sometimes-backing band is the Sadies:
On to the music, which includes my Neko favorite, Deep Red Bells, and a cover of Bob Dylan’s Buckets of Rain, for which I am indebted to Hello Gina for so kindly sending me when I once made a passing mention of my adoration for Neko.

Thank you so much for posting this. I was at the show and she was luminous!
Kevin, yer too kind. I am really digging this new album.
Thanks for posting this set.
love neko case…keep up the good work kevin!
also, have you heard back from nada surf yet about posting the acoustic set? i’d love to hear it
Sadie appears to be a Maine Coon, no? I have had two –they are the sweetest cats.
Infinite,
No word back from Nada. I’m still eagerly anticipating.
William,
I’m not too sure the breed. As for being sweet, hmmmmmm. Sadie loves us, but she can be a little skeptical of strangers. She has a bad reputation, but when she’s just lounging around the house wit us, she’s awesome. She likes hanging out wherever we are. She’s gotten really sweet in her older age.
excellent. thanks Kevin.
Thanks for the Neko Concert tracks – looking forward to hearing these.
