Neil Young--Not too bright eh?

[dino]

but you bought it hehe

[david]

No. I've bought more than my share of useless albums, but this one was a gift from a misguided (but otherwise very nice) aunt.

And though I usually don't throw much away, it's long gone . . .

the songs I meant were love art blues, sad movies and no one seems to know. Though I guess you could add Try to the list as well. Never heard any of them.

what a fucking asshole is this neil young?

Another year, another new twist in the saga of Neil Young's long-in-the-works "Archives" series.

The multi-disc first volume of the project, which has shifted release dates countless times in the past two years, was most recently scheduled to arrive Feb. 19. But Young told Billboard last week that a new technological twist is responsible for the latest delay.

"I know it's in technical production now, but it's only coming out on Blu-ray and DVD," he said during an interview at the Sundance Film Festival, where he and his Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young bandmates unveiled their "Deja Vu" documentary. "There won't be CDs. Technology has caught up to what the concept was in the first place [and] how we're able to actually present it. But there's no doubt it will come out this year."

That's right: no CDs, a format Young has long despised due to its audio limitations. Instead, Young is utilizing DVD capabilities to present an interactive "time line" for the music, allowing users to experience articles and film clips from a song's given era as well as ephemera like lyric sheets.

"Archives" appeared closer than ever to release in October, when Young's new studio album, "Chrome Dreams," was bundled at select retail outlets with a bonus CD with a song from "Live at the Riverboat." That collection, which will appear in "Archives," chronicles a week's worth of concerts taped in Toronto shortly after Buffalo Springfield split.

The package is also expected to include the previously released concert sets "Live at the Fillmore East" and "Live at Massey Hall." The remainder will feature material cut with Young's early Canadian band the Squires, recordings from the period during which he lived in Topanga Canyon, Calif., and scores of previously unreleased studio tracks.

I find it kinda odd....Neil Young by most accounts is 3/4 deaf....funny how he can pick up on all these sonic vaguries.

Joel Bernstein has been in charge of this archive project forever now....poor fucker has been shaking his head sadly for a lot of years.

[Some king]

Dealing with Bob and Neil for most of his career...dude must have the patience of a saint.

[dino]

there must be a law that force old artists like young and dylan to give away the rights to their old stuff - they are not able anymore to know whats right and whats wrong about it

and joel, well, patience yes but he can listen to any neil archives anytime he want, plue the salt lake concert recording

recent quotes from neil:

"I think that the time when music could change the world is past," he told reporters. "I think it would be very naive to think that in this day and age."

Young added: "I think the world today is a different place, and that it's time for science and physics and spirituality to make a difference in this world and to try to save the planet."


yea, i think cripes had a good point

[dino]

good songs changed the world, songs like Tutti Frutti and Like a rolling stone

ol' Neil should have say "the time when good music could change the world is past, now every new song is so shite that they cant change the world"

including neil young modern songs

[manho]

"good songs changed the world, songs like Tutti Frutti and Like a rolling stone"

tutti frutti certainly changed the world, as did she loves you and anarchy in he uk. if rolling stone changed the world it was only marginal and probably for the worse rather than for the better.

[owen]

yeah, but songs cant "save the planet" which i think is what neil is getting at. such a fucking stupid hippie concept - "saving the planet"

[manho]

'songs cant "save the planet"'

what about that tune in close encounters of the turd kind?

[owen]

if we get invaded by space aliens we can play them modern times....

[hobo]

i ran into the guy after the Edinburgh gig the other night - he was wearing a deerstalker Sherlock style

the gig was wonderful - you hear Mellow My mind on a banjo and Too Far Gone played with Ben Keith and Ralph Molina and you're winning

[dino]

agree hobo, i saw Neil in Milano and it was terrific - ambulance blues was stunning and so was everything - now a 60 year old rock star that is worthwhile to see in cocnert
