Neko Case - The Pharaohs (Bumbershoot '08)

Neko Case at Bumbershoot 2008 in Seattle, Washington on August 30th. The was the fourth of four songs (one was a Harry Nilsson cover) she played from her new album, dubbed "Middle Cyclone," due out in March 2009. Unfortunately, this video was ruined by the KEXP photographers that kept getting in my shot. I'm uploading it anyway, though, because it's the only song I shot in good quality. It also cuts out at the end, and I'm not sure why, since the card wasn't full. Oh well!

Inconsiderate prick in the front

Nah, he was one of the hired photographers in the pit just doing his job. He only stuck around for a few songs.

@AndrewYBA maybe she meant she wants a king instead of a man. But what makes you think that?

[ITrollYouForCandy]

Pharaohs were consider Gods. And yes the lyrics are I love girls in white leather jackets.

could you be miss-hearing the line

'you spoke the words, "i love girls in white leather jackets"'?

also note the song ends

'I want the pharaohs, but there's only men'

... pharaohs are male.
