Neko Case: Live, Orange House, Munich, Germany, May 11, 2006.
The lovely and golden-voiced Neko Case makes a return to this lowly blog with this super terrifique set as broadcast on Munich's Radio 2 Bayern. Ever since my live recording of Neko's gig in our City of Champions last month turned out to be shit, I have been searching for a live set that could replace my loss. This is the chosen one. Highlights include Neko's voice of course, the equally lovely backup vocals of Visqueen's hot Rachel Flotard, the stupendously hefty setlist, the sexy voice of the Radio DJ explaining things in German, and the perfect sound quality of this recording.This post is dedicated to my friend K, who vowed she would trade her organs for a voice like Neko's if the world ever let her. Paging organ traders.
*Downloading tip for those of you who use the Firefox browser (if you don't, get it, it rocks). You can get an extension called Flashgot which allows you to download all the songs on a webpage or as selected in one fell swoop. Let me know if this helps, and please support open source.

If you haven't already, get yourself a copy of Fox Confessor Brings The Flood. You deserve to experience the feeling of having an album grow on you.

Thanks for the live Neko goodness--and the Flashgot goodness to make it easier!
Thanks so much! Fox Confessor is my album of the year so far. Love it.
thanks for this great show, there's much to enjoy here.
One note -- this show was in 2006, not 2005.
Oops, thanks rich, just a mistake.
Cheers,

Yep, saw the tags were right. Just figured I'd drop the heads-up.
Thanks again!
There's a great Neko live show for download from NPR:

Thanks for the story. I like it. visit my blog please
Thanks a bunch for making this available, and thanks to that other anonymous for the heads up on the NPR show.
I actually have the Neko at NPR mp3s and have posted them here before. Maybe I'll repost, if time and chance allows.
greatness. thanks for the neko case.
where is the sunno))) peel session?
;)
Wow, thanks for sharing this show.
Wow, thanks a million for this one - nice photo of her too! Makes it harder to not have a big, huge crush on her, ya know?
I downloaded the Flashgot, but I'm not sure how to use it - do you have to have some sort of Download manager installed also in order for it to really work?? Any tips would be much appreciated.
Great blog - thanks again!

No, Flashgot comes with its own download manager. You have to install it as a Firefox extension (works only with Firefox browser). When you flashgot files, they usually download in the background, at the same speed as a normal download, so it may take some time for the files to show up. Most people assume the download is immediate; no, the extension allows for multiple downloads, not necessarily speedy download. However, if you have a faster download manager, you could enable it in Flashgot preferences. Also remember to set your download location. Good luck!
Ok, well that should definitely help (I now feel there's some necessity, in this age of smug sarcasm and perpetual irony to say) - seriously.
But I was so eager to get those Neko tracks that I did it the "old-fashioned" way, track-by-track. But I missed Margaret vs. Pauline (somehow)!! Actually, all of your tracks here seem to be unavailable - any chance they'll get reposted (my interest does extend past Margaret vs. Pauline)??
Thanks again,
Dave
The problem is apparently solved now - THANKS!!
-Dave
oh....I almost missed this!! thanks for posting it...I already missed it on this bavarian radio station, but - thank god - I've seen her live at the Orange House in munich :-))) ...which makes this download a very special one ;-)
thanks for the music....first class
thank you! I love Neko.
ooohweee would love to check out this show, but it seems the audio links are broken.. is there any way you could fix this you think??
