They've borrowed the tune from Venus by Shocking Blue.

subtract the so bad and hated from that clip and i can kind of imagine crazy horse doing a good version of that arrangement.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 20 March 2012 23:31 (fourteen years ago)
Yeah, it was a lot better than I thought it was going to be, so who knows?

AWESOME! This song is the effing jam.

Wish he was doing "I've Been Working on the Railroad".

wtf is dave matthews doing at the beginning of that clip???
― konybrony (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 21 March 2012 15:28 (fourteen years ago)
just doin' that dave matthews thang.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 21 March 2012 15:30 (fourteen years ago)
huh that o suzanna is not bad really! but it's not really the song it's just like he wrote a neil young crazy horse song and used the lyrics to the old song
― konybrony (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 21 March 2012 15:31 (fourteen years ago)
yeah, totally. really, if that is all amped up with distorto guitars and long solos, i can dig it.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 21 March 2012 15:33 (fourteen years ago)
what else would a crazy horse album be?
― mizzell, Wednesday, 21 March 2012 15:38 (fourteen years ago)
Greendale?
― tylerw, Wednesday, 21 March 2012 15:39 (fourteen years ago)
o, yeah. even though greendale is mentioned in all the press for the new one i forget that it was crazy horse.
― mizzell, Wednesday, 21 March 2012 15:44 (fourteen years ago)
even though molina and talbot play on it, it still seems weird to call it a crazy horse album.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 21 March 2012 15:45 (fourteen years ago)
Without Sampedro (and with Molina using hot rods instead of sticks), it barely feels like Crazy Horse. Good record, though. Definitely prefer it to Living With War.

I'd prefer an album of this stuff to an album of "Greensleeves" variants.

An enticing description, but we can't actually listen? Subscribers Only, maybe--?

If by "enticing" you mean "sneaky, deceptive" description. Fuck John R. Mulvey.

Young and Crazy Horse can be simultaneously horny-handed yet elegiac.

lol yeah that is a weird britisher expression, i think. not meaning that your hands are lookin' for sex, but that you've been out working in the fields or something. the british!
― tylerw, Thursday, 29 March 2012 19:09 (fourteen years ago)
tbf i wouldn't be surprised if neil was horny-handed in the lookin' for sex sense
― 1986 tallest hair contest (Z S), Thursday, 29 March 2012 19:10 (fourteen years ago)
Well, I was just skimming, squinting, translating from rockcriticese--looks like it's along the lines of whar I'd hoped for (though hopefully not *too* "elegiac," prob meaning moon-eyed warbly; raunch it up, please)
― dow, Thursday, 29 March 2012 19:13 (fourteen years ago)
wait, what does horny-handed mean?!
― two overweight dachshunds with three eyes (La Lechera), Thursday, 29 March 2012 19:30 (fourteen years ago)
it's when you have sex a bunch but you never wash your hands, and other people can start to smell it
― 1986 tallest hair contest (Z S), Thursday, 29 March 2012 19:31 (fourteen years ago)
well kudos to them i guessat least we know what they smell likestill wonder what it sounds like
― two overweight dachshunds with three eyes (La Lechera), Thursday, 29 March 2012 19:34 (fourteen years ago)

A wellknown gnome like pop star, angry that Port had spurned his advances one night at the Whisky, had threatened to have her “taken care of.”
quoted from Shakey. Who was the gnome-like pop star?

You might have to narrow that down a little.

At the point I've read to in the book, that's all they give up. I don't expect it will be revisited. Just wondering if anyone had any insight.

there's also the 'captain crunch' anecdote re: someone macking on carrie snodgress later in the book
― da croupier, Thursday, 25 October 2012 18:58 (thirteen years ago)
Yeah, and "Captain Whoopee", who became Neil's "boat buddy", and bled him for $$$$ while looking for a second boat.

Slowly making my way through Shakey. I’m glad to read that Neil shares my opinion of Tell Me Why.

I like thinking that S. M. Collier walks around sharing brief anecdotes about late one night at the Whisky in 1972 apropos of nothing in particular.

Not looking so much at this bootleg, but the PICTURE! Did not realize he went through a phase in which he basically established the platonic archetype of a Phishhead.

3 out of 8 songs in Time Fades Away mention Canada: "back in canada i spent my days", "Now I'm goin' back to Canada", "When we got to Winnipeg"
