David Crosby's If I Could Only Remember My Name - C or D?

I like his last couple solo albums

I liked the one from last year as well

yesterday I listened to Thousand Roads, liked that one as well

I guess maybe I really like the Croz and I should start digging

i find the croz less objectionable now that everybody else in the world is a fucking lunatic wingnut as well

i haven't delved too deep into his solo shit but that "another stoney evening" live thing with graham nash is some good shit, there's also a really nice video of the two of them on the bbc from around this time.

If I Could Only Remember My Dickbrain...

The Dickbrain forgets what the Dickheart remembers

Calls to mind his great one-line cameo in Dylan's Chronicles vol 1: "Bunch of dickheads on autostroke."

Worth noting the surround sound DVD of this is p. amazing.

i've got friends who are super into 5.1 and i can't be bothered to set up that many speakers. i wish there were more downmixes of 5.1 records circulating, particularly if the talking heads 5.1 mixes are ordinary and standard for 5.1 mixes as has been claimed.

I should note that I only got into 5.1 when I bought a house that had surround installed. All I did was buy a receiver and a center channel and some CDs.

Regardless, this is a cool experience in surround.

I was mistaken

His new album is sounding really good

Yeah he's been doing some good work in recent years

Nice!

member of both crosby stills and nash _and_ crosby stills nash and young! how many people can say that, really?

I can only think of two, maybe three.

Dallas Taylor, but I can't think of anyone else.

i bought a slightly overpriced copy of this yesterday and only later realized that i already owned a much nicer copy. i guess it's kind of fitting to make that kind of derp with this album

You were mistaken

I thought he was one of the best interview subjects in Echo in Canyon; looking forward to his own documentary, which opens here in a couple of weeks.

...the Canyon, the Canyon.

that echo in the canyon movie was pretty bad

speaking of Crosby interviews

I cannot recommend the last five minutes of this interview with David Crosby from the THR podcast more highly. https://t.co/jo1RNUKCBJ pic.twitter.com/4Ry4Dnx5ji

that was nuts.

it was, to be fair, not a very good interview

like i would never listen to anything that guy has done based on what i heard. but the fact that his monotonous, 9th grade book report style inspired such heights of egomaniacal fury in crosby is p amazing

whenever i think of crosby i think of the part from shakey, the neil young biography, where he's being interviewed by a magazine over the phone while he's being...attended to....by a groupie

Checked out the podcast — the interviewer gets fair warning at 28:00, but has no clue or interest in how to pivot (or really conduct an interview, I guess); and he eventually gets what’s coming to him.

“Well, this is the format of the podcast... I’ve got lots of other questions like this...” — c’mon, man, for real?

yeah there was also an exchange along the lines of:

crosby: c’mon man, what’s with these questions ? everybody already knows this shit it’s been written about ad nauseam

interviewer: well, there are a lot of listeners in their 20s and 30s who probably haven’t heard of you

lol not really the best defense of your lame questions

also when he interrupts crosby and says something to the effect of:

sorry, for the sake of our musically illiterate listeners, can you explain what harmony is ?

?????

I like when the guy asks, “If you had come along a few years before you did, before the Beatles and the singer-songwriter era, what would you have ended up doing? Just singing? Just writing songs? Nothing at all?”

And Crosby’s like: “Uh, I would have gotten into the same thing, I’d just be a few years older.”

oh man this is a super uncomfortable listen

I'm surprised Crosby kept it together for so long tbh.

haha this host is fucking - quote - annoying as shit - close quote

huh so far they are really getting along

Croz berating his booking agent at the end of that podcast was 👍

okay that was amazing....the guy just kept going and going
basically just like "i read your wikipedia page" interview

I’d say stick with music but you’re not so good at that either. https://t.co/6ZLfjj1bpj

Fuck u Doug henwood

croz's Russian shit is really dumb

Who cares

Does Croz write for the NYT or something? I want my washed up stars to harbor conspiracy theories.

Enjoyed the documentary. Partly a meditation on death--Crosby gives himself a year or two--mostly one long apology to everyone he's ever known. I'll throw up the usual red flag for anyone who thinks hippies ruined the world: stay clear. If that's not you, recommended.

He travels back to Laurel Canyon--the store, the house where CSN was conceived--but never mentions Manson (understandably). Which got me wondering what he thinks of the Tarantino film, if that's something he'd even see (probably not). And then--my mind does wander--I thought, "Who's a greater artist, David Crosby or Quentin Tarantino?" Well, Tarantino has never made any art the equal of "Eight Miles High," "She Don't Care About Time," or "Ohio." You can throw in some other Byrds songs, too--I'll stop there. But then Crosby just participated in two of those; he does get a writing credit on "Eight Miles High."

Amazing reaction shot from the Obamas the last time CSN sang together, at a White House ceremony in 2015. No one in the band, nor Young, nor McGuinn, is presently talking to Crosby.

yeah I'd guess Quentin had about as much to do with Ohio and She Don't Care About Time as Croz did, Neil's CSNY stuff is pretty much just Neil stuff....Clark wrote She Don't Care and given it's early Byrds it's likely Croz doesn't even play on it....I didn't know he had a co-write on 8 Miles....I generally regard him as a distant third banana in the Byrds

It struck me during OUATIH that when Dalton gets made up for Lancer, he ends up looking like a cross between Manson and Crosby.

Sounds like he was more involved in "Ohio" than Nash or Crosby; Neil supposedly wrote it on the spot with Crosby present, and then Crosby got Ahmet Ertegun to get it out immediately. I don't know why it had never occurred to me that the look for Hopper's Easy Rider character was 100% Crosby, it's pretty obvious.

(Even more obvious in the film, when both have hats on.)
