You may be familiar with "Alt-Country Chanteuse" Neko Case. I follow her on twitter. She's working on a new recording and on Friday night, she posted this to Twitter:



I briefly thought about what a Neko Case record would sound like if I were indeed charged with completing it. I had no ideas. So I went to the obvious joke instead. It is rare for me to engage in outright Twitterwhoring, (partly because it's never worked for me. I've had the same 60 followers since I started tweeting 3 years ago. *Shout out to City Deli of Shanghai.*) so I framed my reply as content for my self followers. Surprisingly, she responded–which led to the following exchange:



So I guess I'm going to finish Neko Case's new record. I'm thinking about calling it either "Blacklisted II" or "acb Brings the Flood."

In a less than 24 hours I will bear witness to a live performance from one of history's greatest rock bands: Radiohead. It will be my first time seeing Radiohead live, so to commemorate the occasion I present to you a live version of their song "Like Spinning Plates."
