uncool2pillow Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 You probably ended up liking the whole thing then. There were only one or two tracks that I didn't dislike. This Land is Your Land was one of them. I'm glad some people like it, but the LP as a whole does very little for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fritz Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Is there a Via Chicago (forums and such) equivalent for Neil Young fans out there somewhere? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I think there is a Yahoo Group. There use to be several NY message boards - I think most of them are inactive now. Thrasher's Wheat is still active - of course. By way of Relix: It appears that Neil Young & Crazy Horse’s Psychedelic Pill will fulfill the promise of its title. The double disc opens with twenty-seven minute “Driftin’ Back,” followed by the shortest song on the recording, the three minute title track. Psychedelic Pill , produced by Young, John Hanlon and Mark Humphreys, will be available on October 30. As with his summer release Americana, full-length videos for each of the songs will be made available as well (these should be interesting as beyond “Driftin’ Back,” two other track on Psychedelic Pill exceed sixteen minutes). Neil Young & Crazy Horse will support the recording with a tour that opens on October 3rd in Ontario. The tracklist appears below. Psychedelic Pill Disc One:1 Driftin’ Back (27:36)2 Psychedelic Pill (3:26)3 Ramada Inn (16:49)4 Born In Ontario (3:49) Disc Two:1 Twisted Road (3:28)2 She’s Always Dancing (8:33)3 For The Love Of Man (4:13)4 Walk Like A Giant (16:27) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vacant Horizon Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 neilyoung.org great clearing house of recent headlines as well as links to all relevant websites. I think there is a Yahoo Group. There use to be several NY message boards - I think most of them are inactive now. Thrasher's Wheat is still active - of course. By way of Relix: i bet his memoir gets bumped by this. i really want to read that book, but i also and curious about this new album! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fritz Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Neil Young Comes Clean (long interview by way of the NY Times) "Waging Heavy Peace" - I had no idea this was coming out. This is fantastic news! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
suites Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Shakey is prolly the best rock n rock autobiography I've read. Agree it is great but it is a biography...Neil didn't write it. In fact I think it going to be "authorized" but Neil got into it a bit with the the author before it came out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
winterland121072 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 listened to Weld today at work - man that is an awesome compilation.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In fact I think it going to be "authorized" but Neil got into it a bit with the the author before it came out. Yes, duly noted. I had the impression that Neil was very active in assisting in how it came together. Whatever the case, now Neil has penned a book. Its like an extra bonus x 100. Still deliberating on whether I should go see them at United Center in a few weeks. That place blows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That place blows. neil did do some interviews, but there are pretty big sections where jimmy discusses how difficult it was to get these interviews. neil blowing him off at the last minute. neil also almost pulled the plug on the entire thing. i am looking forward to this memoir but would also like to get an update on shakey. i'm especially interested in projects, studio sessions, archives etc. i could give a shit about neil's drug use, sobriety and how he's an asshole. but, i guess that's the stuff that sells books.

The forth archive release was a live album from the '76 Japanese Tour. Just watched the official video for Giant. Similar in style to the Americana videos albeit with a bit of psychadelic images thown in. The whislting in the song is has been stuck in my head for hours. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I was re-reading that NY Times article and was struck by this part: Young, 66, spotted this land out the window of a plane banking out of San Francisco four decades ago and now owns nearly 1,000 acres of it. His song “Old Man” is a tribute to the caretaker who first showed him the place. “I ran out of money, so I had to sell some of it,” he said. “That’s O.K., because it was too big. Everything happens for a reason.” He kept his eyes on the narrow road through the giant redwoods. I wonder if he means years ago or recently? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 That NY Times article was about as boring an article as you can get (and clearly confusing) about one of the major musicians of the last 50 years. When the writer decided to write about how cool he is that he got to hang out with Neil Young, you know you are in trouble. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vacant Horizon Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 i agree. to add insult to injury, the new memoir is really not that great. it really doesn't hang together and reveals absolutely nothing. main themes of the book include: i miss my friends, i like hawaii, mp3 sucks, i like trains, buy pono, mp3 suck, buy pono, i have lots of cars, mp3 suck....and on and on. shakey is a million times better.

I read like the first 50 pages and I was surprised how many times he talks about Pono.....but it is still pretty cool so far. Some good tidbits about his life so far.
