Hitchhiker cover art is dope imo, is that cover art from the time or just cleverly made to look like a mid 70s album. If the latter, spot on.

Be funny if the album comes out but the mug is delayed for decades.

haha

he laughed, nervously

lolz can we sabotage this and just ask Neil questions about Doghouse

please make that happen

ilx doghouse dogpile cru UNITE

Then came paranoia
And it ran away with me
I couldn't sign my autograph
Or appear on TV
Or ship your mugs on time

I love Neil 4ever and am excited for Hitchhiker but it would be beautiful if tomorrow's message was something like "actually Hitchhiker isn't coming out after all but here's something much more exciting, my new Printerfinger™ 3D printing DRM protection service"

sounds so good

yeah, this is dope

how fucking crazy is it that an album recorded at the peak of his powers (or one of the peaks, i guess) in 1976 is only properly seeing the light of day 41 years later

goddammit neil fucking release archives vol ii already

this skeletal powderfinger sounds so so good

"Give Me Strength" great as well

great vibe all over

trying to hold of listening to this until my record comes in the mail

it is weird, I was talking about this to a co-worker and was like "well, basically imagine the Beatles had like 4 records from the 60s that had never been released"

yeah, totally - the spectral reverb on some of the tracks is just gorgeous xp

"well, basically imagine the Beatles had like 4 records from the 60s that had never been released"

yes! the depth of neil's catalogue is a source of endless wonder to me, like if i wrote a song as good as 'give me strength' i'd be happy to retire knowing i'd done a good job at least once, but neil just locks it in the vault for five decades and keeps on truckin'

I'm super excited for this and, honestly, it's probably the least exciting of the possible releases (Chrome Dreams, Oceanside/Countryside, Homegrown, and the Odean)

wonder if neil would ever put out a raw "sessions" type release, a la that giant Dylan Cutting Edge set. I want to hear Crazy Horse fuckin' up over and over again on "Dangerbird" or something, with a Take 23 where everyone realizes Sampedro has fallen asleep.

I would completely purchase and listen to a mammoth C Horse box set of them just messing around

"Disc 10 is just 50 minutes of amp noise"

"Cool!"

Take 23

Ha ha, more like take 2 (maybe).

xp totally, I'm down for Arc II

"Disc 14 is mostly Billy watching a Jets game and yelling"

Would listen.

Disc 9 consists of David Briggs muttering incomprehensibly over rough mixes of "Ride My Llama"

I've been checking for your Uncut piece periodically, Tyler, but they're still an issue behind here. I've never bought a pricey British music magazine before--I want a free car wash or something as part of the package.

haha yeah they are expensive ... if it makes any difference, the free CD has a bunch of good stuff on it too. i haven't seen one in the wild out here, but friends in other places have found them ...

remember that thing he put online (I think) before Americana came out....like the website was just a picture of a mixing desk or something and it was like 15 minutes of Crazy Horse aimlessly jamming? that was awesome

yeahhhh that was awesome, kinda like Bardo Pond or something: http://bigozine2.com/roio/?p=996

oh yeah that was rad!

lol

Wow, wonder how long it lasted!

huge if true

Disc 20 is Pancho and Neil fucking around with a Synclavier manipulating voice samples in search of the perfect "Doghouse Dog...House".

Doghouse is Neil's Dark Star
