Senate Democrats are threatening a partial government shutdown. WFUVs Sienna Reinders tells us why. Since the cold is sticking around, New York City's Department of Sanitation is melting snow with machines known as “giant hot tubs.” WFUV's Xenia Gonikberg and Mia Barth went to Lower Manhattan to see these machines in action for the first time in nearly four years. One New York City nonprofit says they want more rights for street vendors. The Urban Justice Center hosted a rally as the City Council voted to override former Mayor Eric Adams' veto on the Street Vendor Reform Package. In Music News, WFUV's Livia Regina shares some of Neko Case's interview with the station. Plus, a collaborative album for charity and Harry Styles tickets.

Today, Dave tells us about two memoirs written by independent musicians: Orenda Fink of Azure Ray and Neko Case of the New Pornographers. The Witch's Daughter: My Mother, Her Magic, and the Madness That Bound Us — by Orenda Fink “Acclaimed indie musician and songwriter Orenda Fink's lyrical and moving memoir about growing up with a mother who battled mental illness and addiction is a ‘master text on surviving trauma as a child and adult.'” https://fvrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S21C1964656 The Harder I Fight the More I Love You: A Memoir — by Neko Case “Singer-songwriter Neko Case paints a vivid portrait of an extraordinary life — one forged through a poverty-stricken childhood, obsessive desire, bursts of comedy and indispensable friendships — reflecting on the way art, music and a deep connection to nature helped her become a beloved, Grammy-nominated artist.” https://fvrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S21C1940937

This week on The Leftovers, never-before-heard audio from Neko Case, Grammy-nominated artist and author of the best-selling memoir, The Harder I Fight the More I Love You. Her brand-new album is called Neon Grey Midnight Green. On this week's lightning round, Neko talks about her favorite fair food (her grandma worked at a food stand at her local fair when she was a kid!), what she listens to when she cooks and her farmer aspirations!  Listen to the full episode of Your Last Meal with Neko Case here. Become a Cascade PBS member and support public media!    Watch Rachel's Cascade PBS TV showThe Nosh with Rachel Belle.  Sign up for Rachel's (free!) biweekly Cascade PBS newsletter for more food musings.  Follow along on Instagram.  Order Rachel's cookbook Open Sesame. 

The only thing Grammy-nominated musician Neko Case craves more than crisp-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside popovers is Hungarian food from a 61-year-old restaurant in Ohio. Neko tells host Rachel Belle about her favorite Eastern European dishes and how eating at The Balaton helped her reconnect with her long-lost heritage.  But back to popovers! We're joined by a pastry chef who baked thousands of popovers every day, five days a week, for five years at Acadia National Park's Jordan Pond House, the popover epicenter of the United States.

Rob Miller in conversation with David Eastaugh https://mngbookshop.co.uk/9780252088964/the-hours-are-long-but-the-pay-is-low/ https://www.robmillerwriting.com/ In this memoir/history/fever dream, Rob Miller, co-founder of Chicago's venerable Bloodshot Records, chronicles the unlikely evolution of Bloodshot from a list scribbled on a cocktail napkin one cold winter night into an internationally renowned home for roots music, Americana, and “alt-country,” as well as his own evolution from self-described shy, dorky Detroit teenager to DIY label owner. Working with celebrated artists such as the Old 97s, Neko Case, Robbie Fulks, Scott H. Biram, The Sadies, Sarah Shook & the Disarmers, and the late Justin Townes Earle at the beginning of their careers, established, critically-acclaimed artists like the Bottle Rockets, Detroit Cobras, Wayne “The Train” Hancock, William Elliott Whitmore, Bobby Bare Jr, and Murder By Death, as well as important musicians that had an early impact on him like Graham Parker, Alejandro Escovedo, Barrence Whitfield, Exene Cervenka, Dex Romweber, and R&B icon Andre Williams, Miller had an almost 30-year run in Chicago's vibrant music scene, from the 1990s into the early 2020s. Through it all, the label remained fiercely independent, resisting efforts to pigeonhole their sound or succumb to the music industry's hit machine mentality.  Written with wry self-deprecation, the book is a unique look at the vibrant Chicago music scene and a little label that could.  It is a musical coming of age story that treads the line between memoir and history, and is full of anecdotes, cautionary tales, and a from-the-trenches perspective on the workings of underground music.  In great detail, the author hits the highs, the lows, the harsh realities, and the acts of creative enthusiasm that defied common business practices.  And, at its heart it is a celebration of indie communities, and an appeal to appreciate and strengthen them.

In his new film, 'Rental Family,' Brendan Fraser plays an actor in Tokyo who takes a job with a rental family service. It's based on a real phenomenon in Japan: companies where you can hire someone to fill a gap in your life. Fraser spoke with Tonya Mosley about shooting in Japan, working with Scorsese on ‘Killers of the Flower Moon,' and his struggle with confidence. Also, Ken Tucker shares three songs dominating the charts: Neko Case's "Oh, Neglect...," Valerie June's "Runnin' and Searchin'" and Olivia Dean's "Man I Need" Follow Fresh Air on instagram @nprfreshair, and subscribe to our weekly newsletter for gems from the Fresh Air archive, staff recommendations, and a peek behind the scenes. Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

I thought it would be fun to make a few playlists and share them with y'all! You can find it on Spotify, and it has a ton of new great music that I'm sure you're gonna dig. Today we take a look at new music from Lucy Dacus, Bahamas, Tropa Magica, Neko Case, and Jay Som. All great stuff I know you'll like. 

Neko Case is out with a new album called Neon Grey Midnight Green. In conversation with Emily Fox, Case breaks down what spiderwebs can teach us about self-importance, what female and non-binary folks in the music industry have taught her about confidence and not caring about the male gaze and rock n’ roll’s mythology of “you’re lucky to be here.” “The mythology of you're lucky to be here of rock n’ roll… is very harmful and it's often leveraged to make people think that that theater wasn't built to play music in,” Case says. “Like really? That's weird because I don't know, there's a stage and you have a huge sound system in here. Gosh, I guess we could probably get together and make this happen.”Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/sound/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Guitarist Paul Rigby joins us this week to talk about his 15-plus-year collaboration with Neko Case and so much more.

It was awesome to finally get to interview Neko Case, whose music (both on her own and with New Pornographers) I've admired for ages. In late September she released an awesome new album called Midnight Grey, Neon Green, and in the interview she shares about the inspiration for the album, which she describes as a tribute to music and musicians, and "a tribute to joy, and the joy that music makes you feel." We also explore her creative evolution, early band experiences, learning how to embrace her talents rather than being self-deprecating about them and how she approaches writing nowadays. She also shares a bit about the writing of her beautiful best-selling memoir, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You, as well as talking about the music she's been crafting for a long in-the-works Thelma & Louise musical. You can subscribe to Neko's Substack here and get tickets for her shows here.

This week, hosts Reggie Worth and Jason Jefferies discuss the new releases of 9/26 and 10/3/25, including albums by Geese, Jeff Tweedy, Neko Case, Robert Plant, Taylor Swift, Waylon Jennings and a hint of things to come with Julian Calendar and Jeff Jackson.  Happy listening, friends!

Sie ist die Grand Dame des Alt-Country, Sängerin bei The New Porographers und heute Abend mit ihrem neuen Album «Neon Grey Midnight Green» im Sounds!: Neko Case macht unsere Playlist herbstfit.

Our guest today on the podcast is acclaimed indie singer-songwriter Neko Case. For over two decades, she's built a remarkable career as both a solo artist and a member of Canadian supergroup The New Pornographers, and earlier this year became a New York Times bestselling author with her memoir The Harder I Fight The More I Love You. After seven years away from solo work, Neko returns with her eighth album Neon Grey Midnight Green, a sweeping record that blends her folk-rock roots with lush arrangements and her unmistakable lyricism. In today's episode, we talk with Neko about creating the album in her own studio and the difference between creating music collaboratively in a room versus through digital or AI tools. We talk about her journey into songwriting, how lyrics can sometimes take shape like literary pieces of prose, and we also dive in to her unexpected project of writing music for a Thelma & Louise Broadway musical.Neko Case : Instagram / SpotifyFind tour dates and more information about Neko Case hereVisit our official website here and follow us across our socials.

In Don't Say Please: The Oral History of Die Kreuzen (Feral House, 2025), Sahan Jayasuriya brings readers into the world of 1980s hardcore in the Midwest. Amidst this explosion of American punk and experimental music, a band from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, emerged with a groundbreaking sound. Die Kreuzen, a group that defied genre boundaries, fused punk and metal influences to create something entirely new. Were they punk? Were they metal? Die Kreuzen recorded what fans and critics hail as a defining album of hardcore punk, only to reinvent their sound with each subsequent release. They toured the world, made little money, and eventually broke up. Yet, this seemingly brief stint in music history has rendered Die Kreuzen legendary. But why? For the first time, band members Keith Brammer, Brian Egeness, Dan Kubinski, and Eric Tunison--alongside their friends, collaborators, and famous fans--reveal the inside story of Die Kreuzen. This book features rare images and artwork, with contributions from music icons like Thurston Moore, Steve Albini, Neko Case, Lou Barlow, and more. Learn more about your ad choices.

After recently releasing her memoir, The Harder I Fight the More I Love You, and finishing her eighth studio album, the upcoming Neon Grey Midnight Green, Neko Case is drawing a lot of conclusions. She tells Marc that animals and nature are more consistent and reliable than people, that she's at peace with knowing her parents didn't want her, and that she's more comfortable choosing her own family. Neko and Marc also talk about her songwriting process, her pro wrestler great-aunt, and The New Pornographers. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week, my guest is Sahan Jayasuriya, musician & author of Don't Say Please: The Oral History of Die Kreuzen, who discusses the influential but polarizing band, DIE KREUZEN, as we look at the two legendary cable access performances that bookended the band's career in 1983 & 1991.We discuss how Die Kreuzen is beloved by musicians such as Neko Case, Thurston Moore & Ian MacKaye; why fans often don't want their favorite band to ever change musically and how Die Kreuzen struggled with that, the band's origin story and what led to their first EP Cows And Beer, their devastating first s/t LP and how some listeners were not ready for the follow-up October File, Maximum Rocknroll, how Die Kreuzen were a chemistry band not unlike R.E.M. or Cheap Trick, how a single photo of Keith from the band moved Chris to start dressing and performing like him, the 1983 Milwaukee cable access show: Who Am I: The Punk Rock Attitude & the roundtable discussion in it plus the band's blistering 17 minutes set, how the sound of pain resonated from the band sonically on all their records, Corey Rusk and Touch & Go Records, working with Butch Vig, the artwork of Richard Kohl, Chris witnessing a punk audience turn on the band at their live show, fog machines, Pink Flag, the band working with Steve Albini, why they disbanded shortly after their 1991 cable access performance, and the great story of Lou Barlow freaking out backstage because "Die Kreuzen are right behind that door!"Whether you know Die Kreuzen or not, this is a fantastic story about whether or not audiences are willing to go where a band wants to go.

Recorded live at Boston's Museum of Science on July 31, 2025. Visionary singer-songwriter Neko Case joins ecological horticulturist and Brooklyn Bridge Park garden designer Rebecca McMackin for a wide-ranging conversation about land stewardship, biodiversity, and the joys of gardening. From Neko's epic Vermont garden to Rebecca's work creating pollinator-friendly urban habitats, the two share practical advice for beginning and urban gardeners alike, discuss the symbiosis between plants and wildlife, and explore how cultivating green spaces can nurture both ecosystems and the human spirit.

Singer-songwriter, author, and transcendent storyteller across all mediums—Neko Case—recently announced her first new music of the decade(!). Neon Grey Midnight Green is set for release on Sept. 26 (via Anti) and is  being touted as her “biggest sounding and most intimate-feeling album yet.” Take a listen to “Wreck,” a song that brilliantly explores the feeling of finding love with a fellow flawed human. And prepare to become an emotional wreck yourself while watching Case perform at The Bellwether on Monday, Nov. 10.

On this week's show, we catch up on a smokin' boatload o' new-ish singles and pour one out for the late Ozzy Osbourne. All this & much, much less! Debts No Honest Man Can Pay is a podcast that thinks it's a radio show...because it used to be one. The show started in 2003 at WHFR-FM (Dearborn, MI), moved to WGWG-FM (Boiling Springs, NC) in 2006 & Plaza Midwood Community Radio (Charlotte, NC) in 2012, with a brief pit-stop at WLFM-FM (Appleton, WI) in 2004. It phoenixed into a podcast in 2020, thanks to the fine and fabulously furious folks at NRM Streamcast. 

This week, I am joined by one of the greatest late-night writers & performers of all time, BRIAN STACK (Late Night With Conan O'Brien, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert), who picked a beloved music documentary to discuss: Be Here To Love Me - A Film About Townes Van Zandt.We discuss the differences between working on Conan and Stephen's shows, the last-minute panic of doing a late night show, my experience performing on Conan, accidental mistakes turning into magic, how many of Brian's characters are tragically musical, band banter, the melancholy edge of the best comedy, how musicians who write the best sad songs are often the funniest people, the creation of the band Slipnutz, how Townes' music came into both our lives later in life, songs that tear you heart out, being a musician's musician, The Stooges, Aimee Mann, Dave Alvin, The Chelsea Hotel being the headquarters of Zandt's record label, how Townes is his own storyteller in this documentary, self-destructive tendencies in comedy and music, Dylan and Townes relationship, our Chris Elliott obsessions, being under-heard and misunderstood, Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth trying to help Townes make a record, the documentary Heartworn Highways, Neko Case, Mick Jagger's country accent, writing songs in your dreams and so much more.So let's laugh through the pain on this week's episode of Revolutions Per Movie.BRIAN STACK:https://teamcoco.com/celebs/brian-stackREVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE:Host Chris Slusarenko (Eyelids, Guided By Voices, owner of Clinton Street Video rental store) is joined by actors, musicians, comedians, writers & directors who each week pick out their favorite music documentary, musical, music-themed fiction film or music videos to discuss.

In a new memoir out next week, the singer-songwriter Neko Case shares some painful childhood memories. In the studio with Anna Martin, Case is open and unapologetically angry as she describes being treated like “an unwanted child.” Both parents, she says, struggled with trauma and addiction. They often left her with no food and only her pets for company. Case also reads a Modern Love essay about the complex heartbreak that comes with being estranged from a parent with an addiction, and the joys of finding love and acceptance in the wake of that pain.Neko Case's memoir, “The Harder I Fight the More I Love You,” comes out Jan. 28.Caitlin McCormick's Modern Love essay, “My Mother, the Stranger,” can be found here.
