And in April of this year, I traveled to Seattle to give a Pop Conference presentation about the enduring influence of Young's unfairly disparaged 1982 electronic album Trans.

#respect #trans4lyfe

the enduring influence! clearly i hang out w/ neil nerds too much, because i'm Trans is starting to feel overrated to me.

did u guys see that he played LIKE AN INCA a couple weeks back though! #trans4lyfe

Yeah, Trans is like the Heaven's Gate of music--saying you like it at this point is no more radical or contrarian than saying that you hate it.

yeah, exactly ...
xp POTR's bongo guy gets to shine here #ponobongos #joelala

tyler - is there more synth stuff that wasn't on Trans? my only problem on Trans is that he clearly chickened out, I'd love to hear the existing synth/vocorder stuff alongside any synth stuff to hear the trv kvlt Trans experience?

like let it be...naked kind of? a re-do of sorts

i think these are the only real synth/vocoder numbers that came out (and then there are some remixes/extended things)

"Computer Age"
"We R in Control"
"Transformer Man" – 3:23
"Computer Cowboy"
"Sample and Hold"
"Mr. Soul"

I haven't heard anything else, though if I remember correctly "Razor Love" and "Hard Luck Stories" exist in Trans-y form.

this is supposedly the unreleased album that neil kinda merged with the Trans stuff

fuck synth razor love would rule so hard

yeah there's a description of it in Shakey, very intriguing

Oof.

Lukas Nelson turns on the TV in his Oslo hotel room, sees Neil in this CSNY doc (good comments from his instagram followers):

nufucius Is that Gallagher?

obviously neil vamoosed from streaming so unless you want to buy the #PONO version, this ebay seller has a great price on the Official Release 1-4 CD box set for your digital Neil needs, remasters of first 4 albums for $18 free shipping just went in for one

http://www.ebay.com/itm/131862668224

the remasters are fantastic -- self titled and everybody knows in particular.

agree on the s/t remaster, totally changed my opinion of that record

yeah i'm excited for "everybody", i've had it on vinyl forever but it's a really shitted up copy, pretty borderline for me to keep but i never bothered to replace it but noisy af

So stoked to get to hang out with my buddy Poncho Sampedro from #crazyhorse !! @ Hapuna Beach,… https://www.instagram.com/p/BIoFLcgjD_6/

these remastered CDs do sound great

been mostly into the s/t debut because I haven't really listened to that much before

it's funny that the s/t is the first collab between neil and briggs, and instead of it being this loose/sleazy rock n roll record, it's a fairly pristine pop-psych-folk record.

Remastered Time Fades Away, Tonight's the Night, On the Beach and Zuma out September 6

oh wow, awesome

wonder what the vinyal prices will be like :(

think i saw they would be slightly cheaper than usual for neil but still $$$$$
probably would be better off just buying originals! not like they're the most scarce records in the world.

i guess neil must have overseen the remasters, right?

actually amazon has them for 22.95 which is not outrageous

Amazon.co.uk has them at £22 or thereabouts. LOL Brexit.

so how was Earth? was it Neil's take on "Night Falls on Hoboken" like I'd hoped?

$22 is good by neil standards! feel like i usually see his reissues for $39 in the store, so that's an improvement

yeah, i guess they actually want to sell a few of these ...
Earth was definitely not "Neil's take on "Night Falls on Hoboken"" but I enjoy it ... some pretty insane guitar action on the jams.

this box set already came out on record store day, you can find copies iirc

weird world

At least he's not in the doghouse...doghouse

A Needs A Mermaid

Kenny Buttrey: "Doghouse" was actually written at soundcheck in Toronto on the Time Fades Away tour ... Neil told me: "'Heart of Gold' put me in the middle of the road. Traveling there soon became a bore so I headed for the doghouse."

Tim Drummond: Briggs used to tell this story that Crosby actually wrote Doghouse but he as so fucked up he couldn't remember it. I don't know if it's true or not I was pretty drunk

Crosby: I never liked that song

NO CDS? <GRUMBLE GRUMBLE>

There's already a nice pressing of Zuma out from Warner Germany (IIRC) that can be had for less than $20 at major vinyl outlets.

Not putting them out on CD is kinda of a dxxk move. I already have the original vinyl for 'Time Fades Away' and a bootleg CD made from an LP, so oh well I got that record. Only one I never got was Journey Through the Past as I never could find a copy back in the 90s when I got most of my Neil.

know what's a good song for this time of night?

"razor love"
