Almost Deactivated My Account

surprised that a 72 year old man doesn't like rap music

tbf it probably wasn't until the late 90s that he could distinguish between hearing a rap song and thinking he was hearing beavers building a dam inside his frontal lobe

AVC: What’s your favorite part about visiting Japan?

DC: Wow, where to start. The Japanese National Treasury Sword Museum.

AVC: What draws you to that place in particular?

DC: I’m a student of the blade technology that they developed back around the 1200s, 1300s, 1400s when they started making really amazing Samurai swords.

AVC: Do you collect any yourself?

DC: A little bit. I can’t afford to collect the really big ones.

"I’m a student of the blade technology that they developed back around the 1200s, 1300s, 1400s" is such a fantastic thing to say

Neil Young responds that he's a student of the windshield wiper blade technology developed in the 1940s and 1950s. It will also be the subject of his next album.

Has anybody pointed out that the live set and rehearsals for the live set from December 70 are well worth tracking down,. Crosby and 3 of the Grateful Dead, I think Garcia, Lesh and Hart playing several songs from the Crosby lp as well as Bertha which the Dead used to do and Graham Nash's The Wall in a sublime version.
It used to be around torrent sites but may have been commercially released, not sure about officially.

what the f does that line mean?

Hot chick was actually a narc.

Song was apparently a dig at Rita Coolidge who had at some time dated both Graham Nash and Steven Stills. Not sure which of the 2 by the time of the song and she was more famously involved with Kris Kristofferson apart from being famous in her own right.
But Dave just felt like being snide at the time or something.

how is the new Crosby record? anybody heard?

I like it

I found this quite surprising when I saw it in a page long review for a number of reissues of Francoise Hardy lps in Uncut about a year ago. Can't be a coincidence can it?
Has Crosby ever said anything about it anywhere?

Ask him on Twitter!

I always associate IICORMN with the solo Jefferson Airplane stuff taht was coming out on Grunt at about the same time with some of the same musicians involved.
Things like Starfighter, Manhole, Baron Von Tollbooth and the Chrome Nun and Blows Against the Empire.

I picked up a vinyl copy of IICORMN in the late 80s possibly intrigued by the cover, though I did know who Crosby was as an ex-Byrd.
Didn't get into CSN(Y) until much much later, thoug I did like Marrakesh Express as an oldie I was hearing on the radio as a preteen.

I used to play laughing a lot on the early days of my radio show.

such a classic, does anything else in his solo catalog come close?

also, "Cowboy Movie" is more or less the blueprint for Down By the River?

Down By The River precedes it by ca. 2 years.

oh... lol!

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
