Riff: Neko Case – “Man”

Jun 12, 2013

And if I’m dipshit drunk on the pink perfume/I am the man in the fucking moon/’Cause you didn’t know what a man was/Until I showed you

from Man lyrics by Neko Case

Dose in full effect, Case gets into sword-wielding Mercury Cougar hood-perch mode, taking strident, confident aim at gender roles on LP6, both strengthening her identity as a woman and roasting virtues considered sacred for generations, as M. Ward employs the irony of some very manly shred; [LISTEN].
