neil young

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

According to Amazon my order of the lp is "shipping today". I am warily excited.

this record sure was hard to find"

would attend an ilx neil cru fap to experiment with honey slides, listen to everybody's rocking on repeat, and record a cover of 'doghouse'
