Neko Case - Stinging Velvet [MP3]
Neko Case - I Wish I Was the Moon [MP3]
Neko Case - Tightly [MP3]
The guitars start. Country rhythm. The dames and the lads are moving the sits, a twitch to the left, a tilt to right. The first start to desire. Desire to get up and dance. They move their feet, they take their beer, the start to get up. They freeze in mid-motion.
A guy drank too much tonight. He had to piss. Just been to the loo, closing his fly. Looking in the mirror he start to move, it’s country music, he opens the water and freezes. The water freeze as well.
The beer is pouring down the taps. It’s like that every night. Just now it froze, in mid-air, foam and all.
The guitar is still hear, although one can’t ignore that the band is frozen, nothing moves on stage except her. It’s her that froze everything, her voice. He songs start with a guitar, but, trust me, they will soon explode with her voice, and it will freeze you were you stand, so you better be comfortable. Her voice freezes everything not because it’s cold, but because it fills up the air, and nothing can move, we are all captives in this newly created membrane that will only thin (a bit) in the gap between the songs.
