neil young

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"

Neil Meme!

Appealing description of his Desert Trip set, preceded by Paul's (he showed up during that too):

Before reading that, I hadn't heard of his recent track "Indian Giver."

Do u see?

Yeah we've noticed it sometime ago

he's got (i think) 6 new tunes he's been playing live in the last few weeks. wouldn't be surprised if he announces a new album any minute now.

god bless this loon:

Neil Young's stage set up was conceptual on an epic scale with six large Native American tepees placed the full length of the stage, and a burlap-colored backdrop labeled with the words "Seeds of Life," "Organic" and "Indio, CA." His set began with a flash of an old Indian chief TV test pattern on the big screens as two women in overalls walked the stage throwing seeds to the floor.

listening to the new "Hang Gliders" now ... #hanggliders

#HangGlidersOverTheDogHouse

theme of the song seems to be about how paranoia strikes deep

Into your life it will

"Texas Rangers" is really...something!

Neil Yoong

MY NEW ROBOT

interesting that this isn't with promise of the real -- he's been playing most of these songs with them live in the past month ...

It's the Neil Yoong way

I saw Glass Accident open for Erase Errata in 05

keltner!

wooow look at Paul Bushnell's credits, one of those pro LA dudes who's playing on fucking everything

http://www.allmusic.com/artist/paul-bushnell-mn0000016316/credits

Neil: Who can we get to play bass
Rick Rubin: I know the best guy [googles "LA session bass player best guy"]

here's a live version of the title track: http://www.bigozine2.com/TRKSB/NYdesert/NYdesert206.mp3

you'll love him he played for phil collins, miley cyrus, michael buble, all the greats

not sure how "peace trail" is going to come to life w/o the PoTR conga guy, but maybe keltner can swing it
