Bryan Ferry: I was in Cannes, I can't remember the reason, but I was miserable about something, spending all sitting out by the pool and when I heard this music playing out of a little transistor radio. Strangest thing, just a radio sitting there, no one around. Anyway the song was "Doghouse" by Neil Young. I was blown away. I immediately booked studio time and recorded it as a single. It was my biggest hit in years!

my impression from the last month or so is that no one really knows what's going on in the neil world except neil (and maybe elliot roberts)

I feel like Young gets spooked if people seem too excited about an announced release. Note that when, for example, Human Highway came out on video, nobody really seemed to give a shit, so it showed up on time. He announces Hitchhiker, the whole fan community loses its shit, and he pulls it.

I can't believe they released Cornell 77, everyone knows that the Philly 4/22/77 show is the really great dude in the crow playing harmonica

i do wonder if we'll see some copyright protection action via Neil sometime soon a la the stuff that Dylan, Beach Boys, Beatles etc have been doing? probably not, haha.

I was in a mall store yesterday that's heavily invested in overpriced vinyl (the chain that bought out all the HMVs here). There was a copy of Decade at the front of one bin: $84.99, I guess to reel in buyers who'd set their bar at $85.00. I'll take two, please.

According to this listing (which I think was the first place the LP was sighted), Hitchhiker release date is now 8 Sep:

One of my favorite stories - and this was a while ago - was from a friend of mine who flew out to California to interview Neil Young. He gets to his hotel and learns Neil Young has cancelled, because he hurt his back. So my friend figures, fine, finds something else to do in California, and then flies home. He eventually reschedules the interview as a phoner, and one of the first things he asks Neil is "how is your back?" Neil Young laughs and goes "oh, is that what they told you?"

Amazon has the vinyl on preorder for $15.89

also in my experience Amazon is pretty easy to get your money back from in case Neil decides to cancel this at the last minute....
