plants and birds and rocks and things.

Every living creature on Earth? I am assuming that means dogs too right Neil? And yet you didn't play "Doghouse" #forshame

Also are "Bee Breakdowns" like blast beats?

The cover is up on Amazon..."warning: contains modified content"

Lukas Nelson: There was an amazing, 18-minute version of "Doghouse" originally slated to be on Earth ... but Neil was disappointed with the synth barks. He flew Sampedro in from Hawaii, but Poncho didn't seem to know what "Doghouse" was.

Poncho: I have never heard that song in my life, Neil kept ranting and raving about "doghouse" this, "doghouse" that, I was pretty confused. Then Crosby tweeted something and that was pretty much the end of the day. I was on a plane home that same night.

just got my tickets for this:

Neil Young to preview new album 'Earth' at L.A.'s Natural History Museum

not a live perf. just a listening party. but still.

Well, he wanted to perform the whole thing, but the L.A. Zoo wouldn't loan out the necessary animals.

wondering where in LA he found someone to loan out the pono listening system, or if he'll have to bring his own.

#SEEDJUSTICE
#DOGHOUSE
#MODIFIEDSOUNDS

Love "Don't Spook The Horse," even if it's not on here.

also "Hippie Dream" seems to indicate that the #CROZ beef is still hella active in the streets

@thedavidcrosby is definitely still in the #doghouse

Well this is how we gonna do this
Fuck CROZ, fuck Stills
Fuck CSN as a staff, record label and as a motherfucking crew
And if you want to be down with the Rides, then fuck you too
Kenny Wayne Shepard, fuck you too
Barry Goldberg, fuck you too (take money, take money)
All of y'all mother fuckers, fuck you, die slow, motherfucker
My .44 make sure all y'all kids don't grow

lolll

I'm seeing Neil & Real at this years Roskilde Festival - he's got a 3 hour slot and I'm psyched!

you guys reckon there's guitar/vocal overdubs or just dog barks on EARTH? I guess #nooverdubs is #rockist but all the same...

I emailed this to UMS yesterday but...the animal/insect noise on this better be mixed crazy loud and intrusive.

"I don't like to go down to flats/Cuz I can't pa-MOOOOO!!!! BUZZZZZ!!!!/Instead getting a roll-WOOOF!!WOOOFF!! pay the bill"

it says Warning: Altered Content so buyer beware

getting the sinking feeling that there is going to be a EARTH IN THE RAW edition of this without the overdubs at some point

The Earth...Naked

Earth [Doghouse Remix]

for real tho i really like the version of living with war w/o the choir

yeah it's a pretty good, blown out sound.

yeah, that book's been out for a while now. like its predecessor, it has some interesting bits mixed in with some very not interesting bits.

thaaaaaaaat's Neil!

Uhh I was just looking at Neil's set list from Friday night in Memphis and notice that they opened with "Down by the River" and also that Setlist.fm kinda of buried the lede in the foot note:

Note: "Down by the River" was played for 40 min

haha, the opener! that is great ... here's the first 30 minutes
https://youtu.be/RI2ey2g8pcM

also, goddamn this "revolution blues" is good
https://youtu.be/Oik6kdzEx_o

haha, that's awesome

this down by the river is incredible -- just the opening noise jam! i seriously think he should be releasing records like this.

If Earth is just insane jamming with weird insect noises overdubs we could have a classic on our hands

there's a fanmade preview here: http://bigozine2.com/roio/?p=2876
no bee breakdowns

that "Down by the River" is startlingly good

better video: https://youtu.be/RI2ey2g8pcM

:) :) :)

Explosive album closer "Love and Only Love" sprawls out for more than 25 minutes, becoming more of an abstract soundscape than a song by the end, with undulating feedback and cymbal crashes complementing the swelling wildlife sounds.

http://consequenceofsound.net/2016/05/neil-young-says-hes-now-ok-with-donald-trump-using-rockin-in-the-free-world/

Young, a Canadian citizen, said he still supports Sanders: “He’s the only one talking about the issues, about issues that matter to me, the issues on my mind – problems of corporate control of democracy and everything slipping away and not being able to have six major companies owning all the media in the United States.” However, he doesn’t plan on becoming a US citizen in order to vote in the upcoming election.

heh

classic neil

always been a little confused by neil's insistence on retaining canadian citizenship... other than just feeling like he is a canadian, even though he hasn't lived there for half a century. oh well, when trump is elected, he'll be sent over the wall with the rest of them.

Sad!
