Oregon Public Radio just posted an in-studio session with Neko Case and two of her band members, guitarist Paul Rigby and singer Kelly Hogan. Case performs three songs from her latest, Middle Cyclone: the title track, People Got A Lotta Nerve and after the second interview section she closes with Harry Nilsson’s Don’t Forget Me, sans piano orchestra as on the album, even though it’s not listed on the page.

There are also two fairly lengthy interviews with various snippets of interest. She talks about the album and the natural forces themes that run through it as well as real tornadoes, cigarettes, her new farm in Vermont and her sometimes band The New Pornographers.

Nice performances and a fun interview. A shame that the closest she comes to Connecticut on her current tour are dates in Maine, Vermont and the Newport Folk Festival, all in August. Listen to it at OPR.
