neil young

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

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

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

Bushnell? I thought you said Buckmaster!

honestly i'm a little bummed this isn't with the promise of the new
i don't think neil writes songs that are strong enough to stand up to primarily acoustic settings anymore (hope i'm wrong), so basically at this point all i ever hope for is psychedelic pill type albums where he uses them to take off...a live album culled from the last couple years of dates would have been sweet

have you already forgotten about EARTH?

MY NEW ROBOT

MY NEW DOGHOUSE

A DOGHOUSE FOR ROBOT DOGS

my new doghouse-uh
you should SEEEEEEE my new doghouse

Human Highway's in the doghouse
Meeeeeet My New Robot

Guys I think you might be burying the lede

“Terrorist Suicide Hang Gliders”! Is this an Amon Duul II song?

that one actually sounded like the best of the bunch on the live tape i heard. it does not sound like amon duul II, though.

so this morning I had a dream where Neil discovered Flipper in 1983. At first he just started showing up to their shows, standing there grinning in the crowd, but after a while he'd regularly get on stage and do blowout 30 minute renditions of Sex Bomb and they'd let him sing back up on Sacrifice, etc. Before I woke up he was trying to convince them to let him produce their next album. Bruce Loose was saying how they didn't really want people to think they were just hiding behind his name or anything, but he kept insisting he'd use 'Bernard Shakey' and nobody would realize. Innaresting...

If Flipper had stuck with him, he might have offered them "Doghouse"!

i enjoyed this video a lot:

I really miss long lead-ups to album releases for some reason.

so...Pitchfork has a story on Neil sharing the song "Peace Trail"....number one...I really like how this sounds, and the song sounds way better than it did in bootlegs! after writing this one off I'm kinda excited

http://pitchfork.com/news/69373-neil-young-shares-new-song-peace-trail-listen/

also....the song is in a..........drumroll....SPOTIFY link after all that shit he talked about streaming and pono and blah blah blah his whole catalog is up again! (even some stuff like Chrome Dreams II and Road Rock that wasn't before)....looks like everything except Time Fades Away. Old coot just wanted a payday from Spotify haha

yeahhh, i like the sound of this! sounds more considered/less tossed off than I expected. getting a vintage Giant Sand thing (obviously a very Neil-influenced band).

getting a vintage Giant Sand thing (obviously a very Neil-influenced band).

yes! i was totally trying to place it...partially the electric plus really stripped down lineup...and also there's a kinda cool weird warble effect on the vox in some areas

also reminds me a bit of the living with war...naked or whatever it was called where they stripped the choir off

ha, yeah, the press release noted autotune -- though here it's subtle enough that you wonder why they bothered. i dunno, i think this sounds really solid -- the keltner percussion seems inspired.

catalog is back on spotify and apple

let's not pretend we couldn't have all been listening to Old Ways and Everybody's Rockin on spotify for the past year, people.

lol

nice. No Zuma on Spotify for some reason, but yeah, everything else looks to be on there.
