Neko Case

So I don't usually do regular posts here, obviously. But I wanted to put this up for a variety of reasons. We already knew Neko Case was awesome and I don't play her as much as I ought. She's promoting her upcoming album and, while doing so, also promoting a good cause. Every time a blog reposts “People Got A Lotta Nerve” by Neko Case, five dollars will be donated to the Best Friends Animal Society. For more information go here.

Meanwhile, check out the song:
