  New Pornographer and alt-country goddess Neko Case returns with Middle Cyclone in March. Along with members of her Canadian supergroup, the album will include guest appearances from M. Ward, Los Lobos, Calexico and the Lilys.

• Concert Review: Blitzen Trapper, Alela Diane

  As the buildings turned Mass Street into a piercing cold wind tunnel, a crowd of Lawrencians took refuge inside the Jackpot Music Hall. Once inside, in the dim red bar light and the sweltering heat, that same crowd found themselves wishing they'd left their coats in the car. Alela Diane came on first, backed by a four-piece band: hairy dude on bass, cute girl singing harmonies, red-headed Greg Oden look-alike on drums, and Alela's dad wailing on mandolin and lead guitar. Alela Diane possesse

  Set your cell phone alarm and make sure you're near a computer tomorrow night at 9:30 p.m. Eastern, when NPR will stream a live audio webcast of Neko Case performing at the 9:30 Club in Washington D.C. Again, that's 9:30, April 9, at the 9:30 Club. (Only it'll be 8:30 here, duh.) Let it be made official: Neko's new one, Middle Cyclone, is one of this year's few HOLY SHIT albums. It's amazing. Sweetening the deal on this broadcast is that Eric Bachmann's band Crooked Fingers will be opening the

  The rugged, Texas songwriter-performer Tom Russell prepares to release his new album Blood and Candle Smoke. Featuring some of his most intimate, insightful material, Russell ventured from his home in El Paso (where he moved from New York 10 years ago), to Tucson' s Wave Lab Studios. Studio owner Craig Schumacher (Neko Case, Iron & Wine) co-produced the album with Russell and Joey Burns, John Convertino, Jacob Valenzuela of local heroes Calexico provided the bulk of the instrumental support.

• Incoming: John Doe & The Sadies at the Bottleneck, July 27

  In one of music's best pairings in recent years, legendary punk rocker John Doe teamed up with Canadian band The Sadies to cut a record of countrypolitan favorites--Country Club--and are bringing their live act to Lawrence for a just-announced show at the Bottleneck on July 27. Amanda Schenk In true honky tonk style, Country Club is the bastard child of a drunken promise. A post show hang-out between Doe and The Sadies produced the idea to join forces to a make an album of country songs. Clas

• Concert Review: Neko Case at the Uptown

  Brian Wilson had cars and surfboards. Lou Reed had transients and smack. Neko Case, another instinctive songwriter with identifiable lyrical obsessions, has weather and animals. That's considerable symbolic acreage, yet Case -- like Wilson and Reed, to name a couple of past masters -- compresses detached observation and wet hunger into distinctive miniatures. (And her gift for melodic surprise rivals even the old Beach Boy's polished touch.) Tides and floods and tornadoes, tigers and foxes and b

• Don't Forget Harry Nilsson

  Neko Case blew into town Sunday night and made sure to perform one of the highlights of her new album: a cover of Harry Nilsson's heartbreaker "Don't Forget Me." Commenter DLC then asked for a brief on Nilsson. So, thanks to a grant from the Nilsson Education Foundation, here's a quick lesson in the late singer-songwriter's towering awesomeness. I. Songs Schmongs "Don't Forget Me" Duh. The original is pretty affecting on its own. Part of the power of Case's cover is that one of its intended

• Concert Review: John Doe & the Sadies at the Bottleneck

  John Doe & the Sadies are basically the world's greatest country cover band. Last night's show at the Bottleneck proved that. From the opening strains of "Stop the World (And Let Me Off)," made famous by Ms. Patsy Cline, through numbers such as Marty Robbins' "Big Iron" (which has "El Paso" beat all to shit -- I don't care which one's sold more copies), Roger Miller's "Husbands and Wives," and not one, but two Merle Haggard songs, John Doe & the Sadies knocked out chart-topping dance numbers the

• Flier of the Week: Drakkar Sauna at the Jackpot

  Lawrence's Drakkar Sauna plays the Jackpot this Saturday night. The band is celebrating the release of their new album, 20009. ​The flier for the show was created by Leslie Kay, who is probably best known for her talents as booker for the Jackpot and Replay. As you can see, however, she's a talented artist, as well, doing such things as these wonderful screen print fliers. If you head to her site, you can find images of fliers she's done for artists like Ad Astra Per Aspera and Split Lip

• Rock of Pages: Terrible Hostess Volume II

  Carolyn Mark is, somewhat unfortunately for her solo career, best known for her work with Neko Case. Actually, it seems like every artist who works with Neko Case -- be it Ms Mark, Jon Rauhouse, the New Pornographers, or the Sadies -- seems to end up being labeled "frequent Neko Case collaborator." ​Well, let's ignore all that. Let's ignore Mark's musical workings altogether, in fact. I'll mention the fact that she has a new album out this week on Mint Records, and its title is Let's Just
