  1. Are you talking about actual studio recordings with the Ducks? All I've got is the four live songs from various bootlegs --- Windward Passage, and then the Sail Away/Cryin' Eyes/Comes a Time set.
  2. Wow indeed! Dammit, I already used my downloads for this month!
  3. Mick Taylor on most of Sticky Fingers...particularly on "Sway". The Beatles' leads on "Everybody's Got Something To Hide" and "Revolution". Marc Ford on "Sometimes Salvation". The wah solo on "Haitian Divorce". The distorto-grunge Neil Young tone on "Don't Cry" and the very end of "Eldorado".
  4. You laugh, but I think Arc is actually good driving music. Or, as Neil once put it, "It's rap music for white people!" Landing on Water isn't great, but there are a few good songs on it.

  6. Awesome looking guitar. Nice job. This must be Martin week... I finally broke down and bought one myself this weekend. One of those Custom D models from Guitar Center. It's really a brand new experience to play a nice guitar...wouldn't trade it for anything right now.
  7. Thinking back to when I first got into Neil Young, I believe my order of listening was as follows: Harvest Everybody Knows This is Nowhere After The Gold Rush Followed by: Rust Never Sleeps Zuma Ragged Glory If you dig the softer stuff, you can replace Ragged Glory with Comes a Time.
  8. Funny, because that's happening to me right now --- I got copies of Aeroplane and Dusk at Cubist Castle about two months ago. Aeroplane has not sunk in yet, while Dusk has taken over large portions of my brain. I can't say why Aeroplane hasn't done more for me yet...but then again, it's very, very rare for any new album to really grab my attention immediately. Hell, it took me nearly a year before I started to truly enjoy AGIB.
  9.

Limehouse Declaration - Harker Lake 1) Ryus, Kansas 2) Gardner, Kansas 3) Stockholm Environment Institute US Center 4) Service Robot 5) Creative Environmental Networks 6) Emerson Electric Company 7) Halifax Parish 8) Elegant Tit 9) Cortegana 10) Sonometer 11) Mustn't Grumble (An Accidental Return to England) Fresh off their recent tour of northern England with Billy Bragg, Britpop socialist proselytizers Limehouse Declaration entered the studio to craft their latest political manifesto. What emerged was Harker Lake, an earnest, if somewhat muddled, sophomore effort from the five-piece who
  11. Thanks for the replies. I signed up for a free trial at eMusic...so far, I like what I see. Haven't given Amazon a shot yet, but I'll take a look. Thanks again.
  12. Does anyone have any suggestions for good online mp3 music stores? Preferably something with a decent-sized catalogue and no DRM? Thanks in advance...and sorry if this was addressed in another thread.
  13. I was in a cover band in the musical "mecca" of Lafayette, Indiana. If I recall correctly, a normal setlist consisted of: Suite: Judy Blue Eyes Comfortably Numb Creep (the STP one) Heart Shaped Box Take it Easy Small Town Old Love You Can't Always Get What You Want Running on Faith Needless to say, that was a confused band which broke up within three months.
  14. Whoa whoa whoa, now wait just an effin' minute here... That may be the greatest Neil setlist I've ever seen. THREE unreleased '76 songs, Bad Fog, AND Ambulance Blues? Not to mention Campaigner and JTTP.
  15. Man, why couldn't you have linked that 40 minutes ago? I just recorded the whole thing on my computer from the RS page. Thanks. That will make for easier, um...distribution.
  16. You may be right, although I'm starting to wonder now if the track sequencing isn't meant to hide that somewhat. Since Ordinary People is a 20-year old recording, I'd imagine that Beautiful Bluebird (the opener) and Box Car (second track, preceding OP in the running order) are also the original recordings. So maybe Neil's dropping us in the wayback machine before easing us into the new millenium by track number 4?
  17. The more I hear about this tour, the more pissed off I am that he's coming nowhere near the southeast. Come on down Neil!
  18. And here's a blurb from RS: "In addition to giving you the scoop on the Canadian rock icon's sequel to a record that never saw release, the piece now includes an MP3 of the tune "Ordinary People," the gorgeous eighteen-minute epic Young ORIGINALLY RECORDED IN 1988 and played frequently during that year's This Note's For You tour. "Ordinary People" will be released for the first time on Chrome Dreams II."
  19. It's legit...here's the hi-res version, courtesy of Rolling Stone. http://www.rollingstone.com/photos/gallery.../photo/13/large
  20. From what I understand, the rip of the song was originally recorded on a boombox, then transferred to mp3. So yeah, the sound quality is dog.
  21. Listening to it now. It's definitely a recording from the Neil Young & The Restless band (the same one that did 'Freedom' and the 88-89 tour). Definitely sounds like Pancho on guitar and Chad Cromwell on drums --- definitely not Ralphie. Honestly though, I don't mind. I've heard live versions of this song that sound very similar to this released recording, so it sounds right this way...if that makes any sense.
  22. Awesome news, although I hope that's not the full set of dates. None of those cities are anywhere remotely close to Miami.
  23. So "Boxcar" is the third old track. Interesting.
