Music Tasting 19

 


We were given some tickets last minute to see Neko Case, but Hubby's been working graveyard shifts so he was too tired to stay long.  We're gonna follow up on some of her music.

When I searched "Best Neko Case song" this is what came in at number one.


Neko's music falls into country, folk, art rock, and indie rock.  She's considered a significant figure in the revival of the tenor guitar, and her untrained contralto voice has been referred to as a "flamethrower."


She wrote this song for the dozens of women killed by the Green River Killer.  She grew up in the area, and has said when she was 8 years old, she walked to school with a steak knife for fear of the killer attacking her.

Her first two albums were done under Neko Case and Her Boyfriends.


This is from her most recent album.

  Science is also serious. You may have heard that a case review is ongoing regarding the safety and science of an abortion pill, called mifepristone, that has been on the market since 2000.

Of course, the FDA already vetted the drug and numerous studies show the pill is safe and effective. "If courts can go against a whole tremendous amount of scientific evidence, that just doesn't seem right." More Info: Science News News and Politics

  Othram is a company providing forensics technology for cold case work. "Justice is not a luxury; it is a basic human right." In 1997, rock climbers in rural Washoe County found human remains buried under stones in a shallow grave.  While cause of death could not be determined, it was ruled a homicide. Investigators entered her information, including a forensic facial reconstruction, into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System but no leads yielded a match. Earlier this week, with Othram's help, Washoe County was able to identify Lorena Gayle Mosley, who was 41 at the time of her death.   Scientists were able to develop a DNA extract to be used in genome sequencing, building a comprehensive profile for the victim.  Their in-house genetic genealogy team was then able to develop investigative leads that were returned to Washoe County. In follow-up investigation, the Medical Examiner's Office Medicolegal Death Investigator/Technician Supervisor Sarah Turne
