Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Psychedelic Pill, Oct. 2012

$22 CD. I hope this is on Rhapsody/Spotify so I can check it out first.

I bet the big box stores will have it significantly cheaper, at least the first week of release. At least, that's what I'm hoping for. I don't feel real guilty about buying big name major label releases from those stores.

guess this is the alt cover?
& yeah, would be shocked if the price of the Cd version didn't come down via amazon or wherever.

His "Pill" looks like a urinal cake.

hahaha
it looks like a bar of crabtree & evelyn soap!

I smell a merchandising tie-in!

Farmaid yall, can watch some of it tonight on site, and guess who's scheduled for 9:30 Eastern:

9:20 rather!

Well, that was by far the most messed-up FarmAid presentation, in any medium, I've ever seen in all these many years--not just the technical glitches, but we got a couple songs from several acts, between a lot of very familiar talking points. Suppose more bits may show up at trandom on Farmaid's channel, and elsewhere on YouTube. Anyway, Neil and the Horse did a real good "Mr. Soul" (with a guitar break whirling through atonality to total harmony man), and "Homegrown," with Willie fitting right in (Hey Mr. Nelson, wanna join a band, sir?) Lucas Nelson and Promise of the Real in there between Deer Tick and Creedence on this occasion (never quite know where Lucas will take it), good from Jamey Johnson and band too. Speaking of Neil, David Carr's been riding with him, good report:

really digging this.

definitely already one of my top 10 neil tracks from the past 10 years or so.

Yeah, the Americana-style harmonies are welcome too.

that profile in the new york times was so boring...i expected more from david carr.

although i'm interested how neil quit smoking pot after 40 years!

ha, yeah, that was the most interesting detail.

neil has been driving journalists around forever.

I'm disappointed whenever an artist admits to abstaining from drugs and alcohol tbh

i'd take it w/ a grain of salt -- i recall an interview from 1988 or so where Neil claimed he was giving up the w33d.

I'm disappointed whenever an artist admits to abstaining from drugs and alcohol tbh

Oh, pish. Neil's smoked more weed than this collective board. He's made it this far, he's had various health scares ... him quitting alcohol and drugs is like some straight dude making it to Neil's age and suddenly deciding to take those two vices up.

This is now $12.99 on Amazon. They also now list it as being only 1 disc. Preordering, hoping not to be stuck with some weird abridged version.

Will probably pick this up at Best Buy on street date.

Vinyl is around $45 on amazon.de. Which, yeah, still real fucking pricey, but it's half of what it costs at amazon.com.

that nyt article was mostly neil saying "memoir's a good way to make some cash" between anecdotes from shakey

Ramada Inn is streaming online. I think I must have spent 2 hours listening to over and over. It's closest in sound to Ragged Glory but far superior to anything on that record. I'm very excited.

I’m seriously psyched about this. I didn’t listen to the LP earlier this year but this is right up my street. Listened to Walk Like A Giant which was ok, nothing remarkable I thought. Still, I love when Neil has old black in his hand.

Ramada Inn is awesome.
his best song in years.

new song

honestly sounds like him struggling to hit the melody to "old king"

in the memoir, neil seems genuinely worried about whether he'll be able to write good songs w/o the aid of marijuana -- guess he worked through that. or he got crazy high before writing the psychedelic pill songs.

Ramada Inn is so good..
that new one is ok, i guess

uhhh this is hard...i'm going on self-imposed media blackout on new songs!

Why?

i've been avoiding the studio versions too (tho i listened to that edit of walk like a giant). i want to jam the album out in full when it comes out.

Don't miss Neil's first-ever LIVE chat with fans on Twitter this Wed the 24 at noon Pacific Time, using the hashtag #askneil.

"...going to get a hip-hop haircut/going to get a hip-hop haircut..."
