i listened to my first full neko case record today, driving home from dallas. i don’t know if i’ll listen to the record again, but i know i like her. i like that she doesn’t spread anything additional on her already-gorgeous voice (the main reason i didn’t make it through the new vampire weekend, alas).

at first this shoot was pretty uncomfortable — “what am i doing here?!” “my feet hurt!” — but then miguel said, “hey, i saw you dancing around earlier…wanna dance some?” and everything got better. well, except the blisters; those got worse. 🙂
