An article entitled David Crosby fails this studly test is in today's issue of the Austin American Statesman newspaper. Quoting the author:

"What was the celeb couple thinking when they locked in on the former guest of the Texas criminal justice system as the father, or at least sperm donor, for their offspring?"
The author goes on to compare Crosby to other possible donors including Puff Daddy, Ricky Martin, John Rocker, and...

Upside: Smarter, crankier, and more creative than Crosby

Subject: New Neil Tribute

Dutch band Hallo Venray has released a Neil Young tribute CD, called Roll Another Number. It's on Dutch Neil Young Fan Club chairman Jos Starmans' Inbetweens Records (IRCD007), the same label on which last year the magnificent two-CD tribute This Note's For You Too! was released.

I guess quite a few Rusties by now know this quite famous Dutch band, they have always indicated Neil as one of their prime inspirations and in my opinion they are one of the best bands to cover Neil songs. Their choice of songs (see set list below) is great, but they do generally tend to stick quite close to the originals. In 1996, they did a Marlboro flashback gig with only Neil songs, and a year later they played an astonishing set at the annual convention of the Dutch Neil Young Fan Club. Last year they contibuted Cortez The Killer to the This Note's For You Too! tribute. Later they decided to record a live gig for a full Neil Young tribute CD. And here it is.

Track list: Are You Ready For The Country / Cinnamon Girl / Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere/ Time Fades Away / Roll Another Number / The Losing End / Like A Hurricane / Hey Hey My My / Cortez The Killer/ Vampire Blues / Don't Cry No Tears / On The Beach.

A really cool new Neil Young tribute.

Take care all,
Joost, aka I am a child

PS: The CD was pressed in a limited edition, and -I think- it will not be available in shops. For those interested: it can be ordered from the Inbetweens website.

Subject: Neil in another "100 Greatest" list

There is an article on Guitar.com about the 100 greatest guitar players of all time. Neil is #21. Here's what they say about him:

The godfather of grunge, Young is all message and no brown-paper wrapper. His naive guitar style carries an "I don't give a damn what you think" attitude that continues to free rock from its corporate leanings. Like the best blues men, he grabs one note and fills it with harsh tone and spit, in essence sounding a rallying cry to every DIY kid in America. It's his ability to infuse intensity and passion in his playing that has kept him so relevant in guitar circles.

Essential Album: Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere
Classic Moment: Cortez the Killer

  3. Southern Man

  9. Till It Shines
  10. Cowgirl in the Sand
  11. Woodstock
  12. Pre-Road Downs
I guess Southern Man and Cowgirl are in there because they were performed on 4-Way Street. However both of those and Ohio were all on the Pickin' On Neil Young CD, so I wonder if these are different versions. Hopefully they aren't just re-using the same tracks from the other CD...

but didn't have a line there for Neil's new studio album. I reminded them that their president Howie Klein had been talking about it publicly, so they really ought to at least have it in the "To Be Scheduled" section, as well.

Well, after more than a month, they finally added it, down near the bottom of the page. So for the moment, the existence of the album is "official" again (which of course doesn't mean that Neil won't change his mind again, though)...

Subject: Lotta Neil on Israeli List

There's a "best albums of..." list thingie in an Israeli newspaper, written by a guy called Ron Miberg. His selection of his favourite 99 rock albums. Neil appears a few times (translated by moi)...

1969 - Buffalo Springfield Retrospective
The biological mother of the Californian folk-rock stream, with Steven Stills and Neil Young, founded by a traffic light where two cars of frustrated and homeless artists met. After few albums and many conflicts, you can't take the 60s hymn away from them - "What It's Worth For" (hahaha, that's what it says!)

1970 - After The Goldrush
Probably Neil Young's purest, rarest, most direct and best solo album. Faithful to his musical roots, moving from his background with the BS and into his shaky relationship with Crosby, Stills and Nash, Neil Young of ATGR was at the peak of his voice, composed big songs that didn't insist on becoming hits and played acoustic and electric guitars like he's never played before. The fact that his song challenging the chauvinist mentality of the southern man, Southern Man, triggered Lynyrd Skynyrd to reply with Sweet Home Alabama is the bonus.

1971 - CSNY 4 Way Street
In this live double album - divided into acoustic and electric sets - hides the only recording of the political Ohio in an LP (apart from Young's compilation album). The song was written by Young in 4 hours as a reaction to the student massacre in Kent State University by Nixon's soldiers. This, together with the rare focus of the four, makes 4 Way Street one of the biggest live albums of all time.

(my husband's comment: no DEJA VU!?!?!?!?)
1972 - Harvest (are we surprised?)
Merely one year after ATGR Neil Young decided to show that he too can, when he wants, have a hit song. The song was Heart of Gold. Not only was Young right and the song was a huge hit, it's also a good song, even though Young keeps running away from it even today.
(and I say: methinks somebody hasn't been listening to that many live shows, quick question: how many times has Neil sung HOG live? anybody? the answer is, according to Matt's Tour Statistics: 518!)
Young surrounded this necessary hit with typical Youngian songs like Alabama and TNATDD.
(typical huh? that explains why he has no Neil in his 80s list ;-)
1975 - Tonight's The Night
To say that Neil Young was sober when recording this screeching raw album in 75 (tsk tsk tsk) would be a huge exaggeration, plus Young insists on singing of drugs, hallucinations and friends lost along the way. Backed by Crazy Horse at its best, this is Young at one of his less communicative and rawer moments, and is an amazing memory of a night of spontaneous recording without later touches and an aggressive mix.
He mentions Neil again in 1992, the Bobfest thing. Actually, looking at his list now, he has 75 albums of his 99 favourites from the 60s and 70s...

Forgive my spelling mistakes :)

The New York Post lists their Top 10 cd's of the year. Here's #8:

8. LOOKING FORWARD
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
(Reprise)

The partnership of David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash and Neil Young remains one of the best-loved relics in popular music. CSN&Y's Looking Forward is an outstanding collection that proves the graying musicians are still able to deliver the vocal harmonies that were key to their music. The opening song, Faith In Me is a love song -- sung to a ska rhythm -- with lyrics that could as easily be about longtime lovers as about the bandmates and their affection for one other.

In the old days, CSN&Y boxed with politics, social commentary and declarations of love in lyrics layered with double meanings. This album honors its predecessors.

Subject: Canadian Tape/CDR Tax is back

For all Canadian Rusties.......

The Levy/Tax on recording media to collect lost artist royalties in Canada was announced today. This is the levy (discussed in January) that caused a run on CDRs last New Years when it was announced the tax on CDRs would be $2 per disc. Many of us signed petitions at the time. After withdrawing the levy in January for more study they are back again. The levy is lower now though...

Analog Audio Cassette Tapes
(40 minutes or longer)
23.3 cents per tape
MiniDiscs, Audio CDRs
and Audio CDRW
60.8 cents per CD/disc
"Data" CDR and CDRW 5.2 cents per CD
The levy will be collected at the manufacturing level so will be included in the price of a disc or tape when we buy it in a store. Of course, since the levy is in the price, we will have to pay Sales Tax on the Levy too. I don't know when the levy will hit, but stores will still have stock of recording media without the levy in it for now.

BTW: In the sixties there also was a magazine called Aloha. At that time, it focused much on 'progressive' music from that time (Pretty Things, Pink Floyd, Jefferson Airplane, Doors, etc). It seems this magazine has at least the same good taste.

My eagerly awaited REM Fan Club 1999 holiday package arrived today. Included was the annual holiday single. This year it's Country Feedback and Ambulance Blues from October 18, 1998 -- last year's Bridge Benefit show.

The cardboard cover reads "REM with help from Neil Young" and inside it says "this was definitely one of the highlights of our career".

Excellent sound - better than my tapes of the shows - crisp and clean like they're right here playing in my living room. Two of my favourite songs from two of my favourite artists. Great stuff.

This month's MOJO (Pink Floyd on the cover) has a piece on some new Nirvana photographs that some guy has released. There is one photo of Kurt Cobain sitting backstage reading New Music Express. If you turn the photo upsidedown you can see he's reading an article about one of Neil's 93 shows (I think it's the Phoenix Festival in London?)

Anyway, Neil is everywhere!
