8-Tracks, where a song you're listening to could possibly just STOP right in the middle and the remainder of it be picked up when the next track is engaged. Okay. That kicks streaming's ass. Sure.

He's right about cassettes being better than streaming, though. I hate it when my Spotify gets eaten by my computer, and I have to use a pencil to re-spool the Spotify back into its Spotify case.

fwiw, German Amazon (amazon.de) sells Neil vinyl for around half of what it goes for on US Amazon, shipping included.

He cuts a record in Jack White's phone booth and then wants to pull music over fidelity. Is he back on Geffen again? This is vintage crazy Neil.

Has he ever commented on, or been directly called out on, his vinyl prices? It's completely bananas.
― Your Ribs are My Ladder, Thursday, 16 July 2015 14:20 (eight years ago) link
it's been explained (by one of his reps i think) -- he does his vinyl at a german pressing plant that apparently turns out extremely high quality product.
― tylerw, Thursday, 16 July 2015 14:23 (eight years ago) link
Pallas Mfg Germany is the plant's namebut yeah -- i would be interested in that recent box set w/ time fades away, on the beach, tonight's the night and zuma, but at $160 for four records (which I already own in multiple formats) no thank you.
― tylerw, Thursday, 16 July 2015 14:28 (eight years ago) link
especially since you should be able to score all of those original LPs used for under $40

I remember a local store pretty much giving away their remaining vinyl in '91 or '92; got a lot of great stuff, but, a decision of great wisdom, passed on Ragged Glory (they had multiple new copies for $5 or so).
I don't stream music, so don't have any opinion on the substance here. Does sound like Neil being Neil.
― clemenza, Thursday, 16 July 2015 14:31 (eight years ago) link
neil's compositional style is pretty good pseudo lefsetz but he's missing the capital letters. Analog Cassettes and 8 tracks also KICKED STREAMING'S ASS.
― Thus Sang Freud, Thursday, 16 July 2015 14:32 (eight years ago) link

They also do some Nirvana stuff and that sells for like $15 less than Neil's LPs.

I’d say he’s become a laughingstock, but the people he’s playing to, the writers for the somnambulant press, trumpet his every word and neglect to point out his failings.
That’s right, they review all his new music, usually giving it stellar accolades. And then when it fails in the marketplace…crickets.
haha this is objectively bullshit

Didn't realize a local rep-house started a Neil film festival last night, so I missed Human Highway. But I think I'll catch Journey Through the Past tonight--found it fascinating when I looked at the Archives DVD.

Don’t see that every day...decade, millennium, etc.
I don’t know, I think Neil could have had a great film. Love the first 20 minutes or so: the stuff at the radio station, the Springfield clips (fantastic), the CSNY footage. The framing story is obviously preposterous, but I even like a tiny bit of that: the guy shooting up (where I typically had to look away) at least gives it some grounding, reminds you that the film was made in the shadow of Danny Whitten, and the two minutes after where “Soldier” plays, and the camera wanders around, are suitably atmospheric (maybe just because I like “Soldier” so much). There are so many sequences that go nowhere, though, like Neil and Carrie pulling up in the car, silently sharing a joint and eating strawberries, then moving along--that scene felt like 10 minutes. The theatre was almost empty tonight; unless a lot more people bought Archives than I think, I don’t really understand that. The last shot, with the Beach Boys playing and the two crosses and the headlights, is stunning.

That's pretty amazing. I saw "Journey" years ago and it was off a bad VHS dub so I've always wondered what it would look like cleaned up and remastered. Or simply seeing a film print would be amazing.
Lots of scenes go nowhere and are pointless but are enjoyable in a kind of virtually-hanging-out-with-Neil way.
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Saturday, 25 July 2015 17:45 (eight years ago) link
It really does look good when you see it cleaned up--obviously they were screening the Archives DVD last night. I imagine existing film prints, if there are any besides a master stored away somewhere, look pretty awful, Wish I could find a still of last shot. Big surprise: a lot of it looks really grainy, in the best way possible.
