Five Great Neko Case Quotes

Neko Case is the Man, and there are so many reasons why that we just had to make a list about her. In celebration of her spectacular sixth LP, The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You (out this week via Anti-), here’s a list of Lady Case’s most magical, knee-slapping moments.

5. “I wish I had a tremolo…[bangs table] I want a tremolo!”
—Case to New York Times contributor Daniel Menaker, February 2009.

We got you, girl.

4. “I was surprised when you called me a lady / Cause I’m still not so sure that’s what I wanna be / Cause I remember the 80s…and I remember its puffy sleeves”
—The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You, 2013.

We all do Neko, we all do. #Regret #OnlyPrincessDiCouldRockIt
