In the October issue of GQ Magazine (the one with The Rock on the cover), they've got a music section, and interspersed throughout are a few columns where musicians detail their favourite 'mix tapes.' One of the musicians is alt.country singer Neko Case. Her tape includes songs like The Everly Brothers' "I Don't Want To Love You," Loretta Lynn's "Deep As Your Pocket," The Kinks' "Shangri-La," and Morrissey's "Speedway."

In her intro to the song list, Neko says, "I call this the 'Get Me as Far Away from These Times as Possible' mix. I made it for driving across Texas on the I-10. Some of the songs make me cry. Not clutching-my-blanket-in-the-fetal-position crying but ohooh-this-song-is-so-good-crying. I'd bring Roger Miller on the trip if I could. I have a huge posthumous crush on Roger. And I love Morrissey. He's invited. Anytime. We'd all get along really well."

    Neko Case is an exceptional talent whose album 'Blacklisted' should be owned by simply everyone.
    Her vocals on the track 'Look For Me(I'll Be Around)' are nothing short of staggering.

    Leave your future behind you.
  • Whenever I hear her sing "I Wish I Was the Moon Tonight" I think, "What a great song this would be for Morrissey to cover."

    If you haven't bought her album yet, you aren't even human.
